Nicole flushed. "I was just wondering-"
He cut her off. "I love your mouth."
Her breath caught her in throat as her heart raced. She couldn't help but to meet his smoldering look of wanton lust with one of her
own. Barely, she forced out, "Thank you," because she couldn't think of anything else to say that wouldn't let him know she had enjoyed his
comment very much.
"Can I kiss you?"
She nodded and leaned forward. His other hand caught around her nape tilting her head slightly to deepen the passion they
shared.
The feel, touch, and taste of him turned her inside out and sent her senses on a wild roller coaster ride that she wanted never to
stop.
Pushing away, reluctantly, she pressed her back against the passenger door.
The hungry look in his eyes clearly told her this man had serious locked up emotions and if unleashed he could tear her heart apart.
No emotional tie-ups. Not now! Not ever!
"Tomorrow," was all she whispered before jumping out the and running down the to her home.
Marvin had his buddies over, but when she got in the house she didn't pause to greet them or accessed the situation. She
continued on upstairs past Nanna's room to her small room in the attic where she plopped on the twin size old bed and buried her hands in
her face.
What the hell had she gotten herself in?
Chapter 4
Awaking in bed, Lynne looked at the empty pillow beside her and frowned. It wasn't like him to not call or come home. Picking up
the cordless phone beside the bed, she dialed the office in Auburn Hills where James worked. Ethan stayed on the sites most of the time,
but used James' secretary, Kristen Marks to keep up with his appointments.
Kristen answered the phone as polite as ever, although her tone went a little wayward when she realized exactly who was on the
other line. "Good morning, Mrs. Black, James hasn't come in yet."
"I was wondering if you've heard from my husband?"
"Mr. Black left a message to reschedule all his appointments for the next seven days to after the holidays if possible." Her tone of
voice was directly sarcastic as if Lynne should already know this.
Lynne didn't exactly care for this little chit working for James, but she was a daughter of a friend of the family and James had said
she did excellent work. "Would you know the reason behind this?"
Sighing impatiently, Kristen answered, "He's working on dual projects." Again, her tone was as if Lynne should have known this. "It
may be taking up a lot of his time. Especially since he needed special zoning with one of them."
Of course this didn't interest Lynne. Nothing of what her husband ever did interested the selfish woman, but she was always
interested in James schedule.
"Did he say where he can be contacted?" Lynne knew Ethan never slept on site.
"Only his cell phone after today."
