schoolteacher had taken a back seat to Lori the woman with desires.
She opened the door, a welcoming smile on her face.
“Hi there … ”
The rest of her greeting died on her lips as she stared at Flynn and tried not to drool.
Delectable. The black tux accentuated his height and broad shoulders while the white shirt set his tan off to perfection. The good-looking young guy he’d been was nothing to the devastatingly handsome man standing before her — and he was all hers, at least for tonight.
He stepped into the doorway and dropped a light kiss on her cheek.
“You look beautiful.”
He picked up her hands and held her at arm’s length, his gaze roving from head to foot and lingering on several areas in between. “Stunning.”
Heat sizzled her skin beneath his stare, setting her alight as she wondered for a brief moment what it would be like to have no responsibilities and lose herself in this madness.
Not that she would trade her life with Adam for anything but with Flynn staring at her with obvious desire, she’d love nothing better than to throw caution aside, invite him in and ravish him on the spot.
“We better go,” she murmured, eager to break his hypnotizing stare before she did something crazy, like drag him inside by the lapels of his jacket and slam the door shut on the world.
His lips curved into a wicked grin as if he could read her mind.
“If you insist.”
“I do.” She nodded her shaky voice less than convincing.
His eyes darkened to pewter as she suddenly realized the implications of those two simple words. Though she’d had many offers to take her dates to the next level over the last few years, no man had inspired her enough to entertain the thought of entering a relationship with the possibility of leading to marriage.
No, only one man had ever stirred her interest enough to contemplate being tied to one person for life — and he now stood before her, holding her at arm’s length.
Did he feel what she was feeling? If so, he would’ve made some sign, some overture toward her since that kiss they’d shared last week. Instead, he’d behaved like the perfect gentleman, reinforcing how much he enjoyed her company as a friend, as the mother of his child.
She might’ve settled in the past but not anymore. Though she valued the newfound tentative friendship they’d developed and admired his effort in getting acquainted with Adam, it was time to discover exactly where she stood in the grand scheme of things. She’d lived a staid life — and happily done so — raising her son to the best of her abilities.
Having Flynn back in her life had never entered her thoughts of the future but now he was here … time to have a little fun. And she knew just the man to help her do it.
Flynn struggled not to gape like the overwhelmed teenager he’d once been when it came to Lori.
As he held the car door open for her, he couldn’t tear his eyes away. He glimpsed a shimmer of silky stocking as she slid into the car, the side split of her dress providing him with a tantalizing view of long, lean leg and all he wanted to do was drag her back inside, peel those stockings off and caress the skin underneath.
Dragging his gaze away with effort, he reminded himself he intended to take things slow as he walked around the back of the car.
He couldn’t put his finger on it but there was something different about her tonight, as if she wanted to taunt him, to drive his libido skyrocketing. If so, she was doing a damn fine job of it.
The simple black dress highlighted her curves — curves that would tempt a saint — while her dark curls cascaded around her shoulders begging to be touched. However, it was more than her physical appearance. He’d seen it in her eyes, a glimpse of something akin to mischief bringing out the golden flecks in their hazel depths.
Though his heart urged him to match her in whatever she had in mind tonight his common sense warned against it. He had a long way to go
