handle her today." Andy looked sorry to break the bad news. Matt tilted his head in thought and pulled out his cell phone. Where had that been hiding? She bit back a grin. He dialed a number and tried to look like Saint Matt as he waited for whoever it was to answer.
"Hey beautiful! Turns out I need a pro tonight." He paused why the other person talked. "Great. I will text you the address. Thanks. See you soon." Matt clicked off the call and then dialed another number. "Hey bro, looks like you are off the hook." He closed his phone and put it back in his front pocket. Andy couldn't help but let her eyes follow his hands. Her skin tingled at the thought of his large, work roughened hands on her skin. Suddenly she recalled where she was and brought her eyes up to Matt's face. His smile was so sexy and there was no doubt he had been watching her assessing gaze the whole time. Ah crap! Her cheeks blushed with embarrassment.
"Can I hold her?" Matt reached out for Harper and Andy gave her daughter over to him. He raised her up and gently shifted Harper from side to side. Her daughter cooed happily.
"So you called Garrett off. Who is watching Harper tonight? Your mom?" Andy tried not to stumble over the last word, but she didn't quite make it. If Matt heard, he didn't indicate it. He shook his head.
"An adopted mother, I guess. Margaret is our secretary at work. She offered to watch Harper tonight or any night if we needed her too. She's wonderful. She has kids and grandkids of her own."
Andy felt some relief at his words. She wasn't sure why she would, but she could figure that out later.
"That's very nice of her. I hope she doesn't change her mind about any future offers." She busied herself with making up a couple of bottles of formula for Harper. She could tell by the little shivers that ran up her spine that Matt was watching her. She kept her hands busy.
"You probably should put those flowers in some water." His words were soft against her neck.
"Oh, right." Her voice was a whisper. The water in the sink had been running and she didn't hear him come up behind her. Her breath caught in her chest. Closing her eyes, she could feel his hard body all but touching hers along the back of her legs and behind. Snapping the faucet off, she turned her head to the side. A warm palm slid over her hip to flatten against her stomach and pull her against him.
Shock and pleasure melted into tremors that made their way up and down her body. She couldn't help but lean back against him and simply be there with him. The nervousness that he made zip through her core was made more of excitement than fear. Nothing about Matt made her afraid to be with him. That surprised her and made her happy for it too.
"I should get to those flowers." Andy reached around him to the counter and tugged the wildflowers off. Matt groaned as her behind brushed against the front of his jeans. Andy couldn't hide her grin. He tilted the side of her head away from him, nibbling and kissing as he went.
"Mmm...maybe we should stay in." He chuckled at her soft gasp and backed away.
"And miss my first night out without Harper. Absolutely not !" She smiled at him and cocked her head to the side. Shaking it lightly, she put the flowers down and reached out her hands. "How do you manage to do that? Let me put her down."
Matt backed away, cuddling a sleepy Harper to him.
"No, no, I want to hold her until Margaret gets here. Brownie points, you know!"
Andy smiled, her eyes softening and her heart swelling. Matt Johnson was a wonder.
Be careful, girl! You're falling! It's too soon! The internal warning seemed to come too late or maybe it didn't matter at all. Looking at him holding her baby girl, Andy was certain she had never seen anything more beautiful in her life.

Margaret arrived to baby sit Harper, who protested being pulled away from her warm place against his shoulder. Matt felt a tug at his heart at the little scrunched up face. He was head over heels
