Excerpt
What
was happening to him?
Jack
led Sandy room to room, stalling by opening closets and pretending to care
about bathrooms and lighting. Sandy’s
eyes sparkled as each new room unfolded: Bob’s
study, Bob’s workout room, Bob’s garage, Bob’s
second kitchen. Meanwhile, all Jack could think about was being with her. He’d come close to pressing his lips on
her forehead, to reassure her that even though she was a beautiful woman alone
in the middle of the woods in a snowstorm with a stranger, she could trust him.
But
he hadn’t earned that kiss. He’d just met her less than an hour ago.
But that’s not what it felt like. What she had
awoken in Jack, just by appearing on the doorstep, was astounding. All the
feelings about women that he’d
suppressed were bubbling to the surface. He’d
never been a guy who wanted a commitment and it didn’t
take a shrink to realize being abandoned by your mother will do things to your
trust level. But aside from that, one-night stands suited him just fine. They
were uncomplicated and the women always knew the rules going in. That made
things easy and unemotional. It left him free to concentrate on his career. He
was determined to find as much success as his dad, just in his own way. And he’d do it alone, like his father had.
Yet, now, standing with this woman in front of the roaring fire, he felt like
everything could change. His eyes dropped to Sandy’s
full lips.
Jack
had always loved kissing.
