“Why
were
you
trying
to
reach
me?”
she
somehow
found
her
voice
to
ask
him.
“Is
something
wrong?”

He
shook
his
head,
immediately
putting
her
fears
to
rest.
“No,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
if
we
talked.”

Shelly’s
eyebrows
raised.
“Talk?
But
we
talked
yesterday
morning
at
Kate’s
Diner
and
again
last
night.
What
do
we
have
to
talk
about
now?”
she
asked,
trying
not
to
sound
as
frustrated
as
she
felt.

“I
thought
you’d
like
to
know
how
my
meeting
went
with
Jared
yesterday.”

“Oh.”
She
had
completely
forgotten
about
his
plans
to
meet
with
his
attorney
cousin
for
lunch.
She’d
always
liked
his

cousin
Jared
Westmoreland,
who,
over
the
years,
had

become
something
of
a
hotshot
attorney.
“I
would.”
She

took
a
step
back
as
she
fought
to
remain
composed.

“Come
in.”

He
stepped
inside
and
closed
the
door
behind
him
and

then
glanced
around.
“It’s
been
years
since
I’ve
been
inside
this
house.
It
brings
back
memories,”
Dare
said
meeting

her
gaze
once
again.

She
nodded,
remembering
how
he
used
to
stand
in
that
same
spot
countless
times
as
he
waited
for
her
to
come
down
the
stairs
for
their
dates.
And
even
then,
when
she

breezed
down
the
stairs
her
mind
was
filled
with
thoughts
of
their
evening,
especially
how
it
would
finish.
“Yes,
it
does.”

A
long,
seemingly
endless
moment
of
silence
stretched
between
them
before
she
finally
cleared
her
throat.
“I
was
about
to
have
a
cup
of
coffee
and
a
Danish
if
you’d
like
to
join
me,”
she
offered.

“That’s
a
pretty
tempting
offer,
one
that
I
think
I’ll
take
you
up
on.”

Shelly
nodded.
If
he
thought
that
was
tempting
he
really

didn’t
know
what
tempting
was
about.
Tempting
was
Dare
Westmoreland
standing
in
the
middle
of
her
living
room

looking
absolutely
gorgeous.
And
it
didn’t
help
matters
one
iota
when
she
glanced
his
way
and
saw
a
definite
bulge

behind
his
fly.
Apparently
he
was
just
as
hot
and
bothered
as
she
was.

She
quickly
turned
around.
“Follow
me,”
she
said
over
her
shoulder,
wondering
how
she
was
going
to
handle
being
alone
in
the
house
with
him.

Following
Shelly
was
the
last
thing
Dare
thought
he
needed
to
do.
He
tried
not
to
focus
on
the
sway
of
the
backside

encased
in
denim
shorts
in
front
of
him.
He
was
suddenly
besieged
with
memories
of
just
how
that
backside
had
felt
in
his
hands
when
he’d
lifted
it
to
thrust
inside
her.
Those

thoughts
made
his
arousal
harden
even
more.
He

suppressed
a
groan
deep
in
his
throat.

He
tried
to
think
of
other
things
and
glanced
around.
He

liked
the
way
she
had
decorated
the
place,
totally
differently
from
the
way
her
parents
used
to
have
it.
Her
mother’s
taste
had
been
soft
and
quaint.
Shelly’s
taste
made
a
bold

statement.
She
liked
colors—bright
cheery
colors—evident
in
the
vivid
print
of
the
sofa,
loveseat
and
wingback
chair.

Then
there
were
her
walls,
painted
in
a
variety
of
colorful

shades,
so
different
from
his
plain
off-white
ones.
He
was
amazed
how
she
was
able
to
tie
everything
together
without
anything
clashing.
She
had
managed
to
create
a
cozy
and
homey
atmosphere
for
herself
and
AJ.

As
they
entered
the
kitchen,
Dare
quickly
sat
down
at
the
table
before
she
could
note
the
fix
his
body
was
in,
if
she
hadn’t
done
so
already.
But
he
soon
discovered
that
sitting
at
the
table
watching
her
move
around
the
kitchen
only

intensified
his
problem.
He
was
getting
even
more
turned
on
by
the
fluid
movements
of
her
body
as
she
reached
into
a
cabinet
to
get
their
coffee
cups.
The
shorts
were
snug,
a
perfect
fit,
and
his
entire
body
began
throbbing
in
deep

male
appreciation.

“You
still
like
your
coffee
black
and
your
Danish
with
a
lot
of
butter,
Dare?”

“Yes,”
he
managed
to
respond.
He
began
to
realize
that
he
had
made
a
mistake
in
dropping
by.
Over
the
past
couple
