Mikey and Beau wrestled in the backyard while she and Hank sat on the porch sipping iced tea.
Setting his glass on the table, Hank rose, grabbed her hand, and pulled her to her feet. “I want to show you something.” He led her to the side of the house, her hand still gripped in his.
No sooner were they out of Mikey’s sight, than Hank turned, pushed her against the house, and bent his head toward hers. Before she knew what was happening, he had his mouth crushed against hers, kissing her fervently while his hands roamed from her breast to her ample behind. He had another think coming if he thought he was gonna be the engineer of that caboose!
Sunny tried to shove against him, but he was like a giant bear, and she thought he must have misinterpreted her hands against his chest as passionate foreplay. Every part of him was huge, including the part currently pressed against her leg. She felt smothered and trapped between her house and this giant hulk of a man.
“Hey, Sunny?” a deep voice asked from behind them. Sunny had never heard anger in Jake’s voice before and was surprised to hear it barely concealed in his tone.
Startled, Hank stepped back, and she squirmed free from her position against the house.
She had no idea she could be so glad to see a man that hours earlier she had considered to be either a criminal or a spy.
“Jake! Hi,” she said breathlessly, moving to his side. “This is my neighbor, Jake, and this is my date, Hank.”
“Nice to meet you.” Hank engulfed Jake’s hand in his meaty paw, but his smile didn’t quite meet his eyes, and he seemed to hold the handshake just a few seconds too long. “Any friend of Sunny’s is a friend of mine.” He moved to Sunny’s other side, and put his arm protectively around her shoulder.
“I came over to see if you were ready to help weed those flower beds you promised you would do this afternoon?” Jake asked her.
“Oh…uh…yep. Yes sir. How could I have forgotten about those flowerbeds ? We better get right to those.” She smiled apologetically up at Hank. “Sorry I’ve got to go, but a promise is a promise.”
Hank looked crestfallen, but smiled in understanding. “That’s okay. You go ahead. Mikey and I will go get that pizza.”
He yelled for his son, and Mikey came running around the corner.
“We gotta go, boy. Tell Sunny goodbye.”
Mikey gave her a half-wave and mumbled, “See ya later”.
“Thank you for the baseball game,” she said, as she dislodged herself from under Hank’s arm.
“No problem,” he said, and leaned down to plant another kiss on her lips. She turned her face just in time to receive the kiss half on the lips and half on the cheek.
“I’ll be calling you soon, Sunny D.” Hank gave her a final wink and a last slap on her rump.
Jake took a protective step closer to her as they watched Hank and his son pile into the Avalanche and drive away.
“Sunny D?” Jake asked with a smirk.
“It’s his favorite sports drink.” A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
“He looked like he was trying to drink you up.”
“No kidding. Thanks for rescuing me.”
“You should be careful with him,” Jake warned, his light tone gone. “He might seem like a big teddy bear, but that guy is one strong dude.”
“I know.” She thought of the trapped feeling she had while pressed against the house, and wondered what could have happened if they had been inside the house alone. “I’m glad you were there,” she said, her voice soft as her eyes looked up to his.
“I’m glad I was there too, this time.” He reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “You sure you want to keep up this whole blind date idea? It could be dangerous.”
No more dangerous than the way my stomach just dropped when you touched my hair.
Her mouth had gone dry, and she watched Jake’s eyes darken as she bit her lower lip. She could forget this whole blind date plan and make Jake her pirate fantasy.
