wall. She decided then and there, she’d have to figure out a good time and way to tell him the truth about her past. Then she’d know if he could understand and accept her. All of her emotions would be out and she’d know if she should stay or go. She needed to do it soon. Suddenly, she saw him stare at her. Those gorgeous brown eyes seemed to smile at her and she could feel his arms around her even though he sat in the table area. “Hey there. Are you coming in?” he asked and put his feet on the floor. He set his notebook down with the pen on top. “Yes, I am.” She smiled back and moved to him. He stood up and gave her a kiss. “It’s been too long since I last saw you.” “Damn, those jobs. They intrude into people’s lives way too much.” She stood on her toes and gave him a kiss. She set her purse on the table and noticed a roll of duct tape. She picked it up and frowned. “Jay, I’ve read a ton of romance novels.” She looked up at him and still frowned. “You’re not into bondage or something?” “Huh?” He looked at the tape. “Well, what do you know? I hadn’t even thought of it, but now that you bring it up.” He took the roll from her hand and arched his brow. “Actually, no. This is for something else entirely and I can tell by the look on your face that you’re not into bondage either. Which is a great relief, believe me. I’m not into whips and dominating anyone.” He held out his hand. “Thank you for not giving me a heart attack,” she said and took her jacket off. “You know that means we’re vanilla?” She saw his eyebrows crease in the middle of his forehead. “I’ve read some of those books.” “I see. If you do have a heart attack I know CPR and would love to give you mouth to mouth.” He grinned. They walked over to the boards and she saw two sawed-off brooms and a red ball. “Now, first things first.” He ripped a piece of tape off the roll and put it on the bottom of one of his shoes. He took off another piece of tape. “Are you a lefty or righty? As in which foot is primary?” “Right foot.” She watched him bend over by her side. The top half of him was behind her and she had a great view of his rear-end. “Foot up,” he said. She lifted her foot and felt him put the tape on the sole of her shoe. He then grabbed her butt from both sides and bit through her jeans. “You have a great back side, woman.” Kate started to laugh and patted his cheeks. “Yours isn’t too shabby either.” Jay stood up and wrapped his arms around her. “Did you come over here tonight just to feel me up?” She smiled. “No, I did that this afternoon, but I could be convinced it would be fun to do, again.” She placed her warm lips on his and let his tongue into her mouth. She touched her tongue lightly to his and then pulled back. “Sir, you are distracting me from the task at hand. What do I do with tape on my foot?” He took her hand and she followed him to the entrance to the ice. He handed her a broom and they walked onto the ice. “This should be easy for you since you know how to skate. Put your right foot forward, you’re going to slide on that foot. Push off with your left foot.” Kate did as he said and slid forward. “Who would have known you could slide around on duct tape? Skates will become obsolete.” “Lord, don’t say that. I’ll lose my business.” Jay showed her how to play the game. Kate felt wobbly at first, but it was fun. They passed the ball back and forth and she thought the practice would help if she came out for the game tomorrow night. She wanted to be there, too. At one point, Jay passed her the ball and she headed for the markers he’d set up for goal posts. He caught up with her near the boards, wrapped his hands around her waist and pressed her against the rail. “I believe that is a foul and don’t you have to go to the penalty box?” she asked and felt him press his hard penis against her
