hurt you and I won’t let anything happen to you.” He placed his hand on her shoulder smiling down at her.
Looking up into his eyes she nodded.
“Alright just let me finish what I’m doing and ill join you for dinner. Thanks.” She walked into his room to put his things away. Smiling he watched her go noting how perfectly those yoga pants fit around her beautiful curves before heading to the kitchen.
When Jenna returned to the kitchen Tyler had set the table for two. Two bottles of beer two nice bowls of stew and on the side some of the French bread she picked up at the bakery. He held a seat out for her and once she was seated he moved to sit next to her.
Tasting the food he sighed “you know you really do know how to cook this is great.” taking another spoonful he smiled at her.
“Thanks. My aunt Emma was a chef she studied at Le Cordon Bleu and traveled the world learning new techniques and styles of cooking. She taught me how to handle myself in the kitchen. Can you imagine traveling the world like that? Well anyway you can thank Aunt Emma and incase I forget one of her recipes I left a copy of each of her cookbooks in your kitchen.” She took a bite of the bread and looked at him smiling at how handsome he was.
He was six foot 4 with dark brown hair that was always mussed and sapphire blue eyes. She normally didn’t find the business man thing attractive, however he really did make her just want to sit and stare at him.
Tyler reached for his beer and looked at her catching her eyes with his. “Dean told me a bit about your aunt and how you came to live with her” he noticed her freeze and get a bit of a haunted look in her eyes. “Now don’t be mad at him he just wanted to make sure I treated you right or that I was my normal hard assed self with you, he and Sara really like you.”
Giving him a nervous smile Jenna added “I really like them too. Since they told you how I came to live with Aunt Emma than I’m sure you can guess I was a bit of a wreck. Dean and Sara lived next door. Sara would see me sitting at the café up the street with my aunt. One day she walked by with her mom and stopped to talk to me while her mom talked to Emma, Sara started talking to me, she made me feel comfortable, and from then on we were inseparable. For a long time the only place I would go besides school and home was their house. Dean was and is like an older brother to me too.”
“I can see that.” Tyler sipped his beer as he thought about what he was going to say next. Taking a deep breathe he added
“When I told Dean I was interest in getting to know has nothing to do with you being my housekeeper and more to do with you being the most intriguing and beautiful woman I have ever me, he made damn sure I knew that if I hurt you I would pay.” He looked at her to see her reaction.
Coughing as she tried to swallow the mouthful of stew she had just taken, Jenna looked at Tyler as if he had sprouted a second nose. “You’re interested in me? Like interested in me? Even after you heard that I have hermit tendencies?” She watched as he flashed her one of his dazzling smile and couldn’t believe what she just heard. She wasn’t a complete shut in. She has had a relationship of two in her 26 years. However once guys get a peek of her anxiety and fears they take off. Yet here he is Tyler Johnson, sexy, funny, wealthy and able to have any woman he wants; stating his desire to get to know her to be with her.
“Is that so hard to believe? I mean you have to know how attractive you are and how nice you are.” He reached out and took her hand rubbing his thumb over her palm. He looked her up and down once then met her hypnotic eyes.
“The minute I saw you dancing around my bedroom I was intrigued. Then you looked at me with your absolutely amazing eyes and I fell a bit. The minute I
