was falling under, she said, “I’ll be right back.”
“We’ll be waiting for you, Tori.”
CHAPTER FIVE
JASON watched as Tori walked away, taking in the subtle sway of her curved hips. He couldn’t look away from the heavenly sight, and he felt his body tighten as he imagined what it would feel like to run his hands over those curves. Taking a deep breath, he absorbed the vision and let the euphoric sensation that came with it spread through his body. He wasn’t sure what it was about this woman that had him reacting this way, but he knew he wanted to feel a whole lot more of it. When she finally disappeared into the same office he and the boys had visited earlier, he managed to pull his gaze from the closed door.
As he looked down at his nephews, he willed his body to calm down. “Okay, boys, looks like we get to take two ladies out to eat this morning.” He said as he walked toward his car with the flat tire. Loading one and then the other in his trunk before moving to the back seat of Tori’s car, where he retrieved the infant seat and base to move into his. Closing the door, he made sure to grab her keys and what looked like a diaper bag sitting on the front seat before locking the rest of the doors.
Dylan asked, “I thought we were taking her to fix her tire? Do they have food there too?”
Jason laughed. “No knucklehead, they don’t. But it’ll take a little time to get the tire fixed so what better thing to do then escort the ladies to an early lunch.” He motioned to his car, telling the boys to head that way. Once there, he secured the base and seat in the middle, thankful he recently got a lesson from Jake on how to do it properly. Not that he was an idiot or anything, but since Jake was a paramedic, he helped at the firehouse when they held open houses allowing parents to have their car seat installation checked to make sure it was done properly. Prior to that, Jason had no idea how important it was to make sure a seat was level.
After he finished, the boys climbed in on either side of the seat, and Jason drove his car around the lot. Pulling up in front of the doors Tori had gone into with the baby, he got out and positioned himself on the passenger side of the car to wait for her. No way was he gonna just wait in the car and not open her door for her. His mother raised him to be a gentleman, so he made sure to always act the part.
It was natural for him to open doors for a woman, escort her through rooms, pull out her chair, and stand when she left the table. He never hesitated to act on those instincts. He not only wanted to open doors for Tori, he wanted to carry her through those doors so she wouldn’t have to worry about tripping or stubbing her toe.
Jason knew these feelings were completely irrational and would have to be examined more closely. But for now, he was going to gather information on the green-eyed beauty who’d cast a spell over him. Nope, no need to track her down since she managed to fall on her butt right in front of him today.
TORI chatted with Darlene, the office receptionist, for a moment as she tried to slow the excitement that was making a circuit through her body. The sudden warmth she was feeling had nothing to do with the temperature outside. The older woman smiled and talked the customary baby talk that seemed to take over composed adults when a baby was in their company. There was just something about little ones that brought out the best side of people, and Tori loved having a front row seat to it.
Once Lexi was hoisted into Darlene’s arms, Tori realized that coming into the office might have been a bad idea. Jason may have suggested it, but he neglected to take into account that when there was a baby in your arms, everyone wanted a piece of the baby love.
Smiling to herself, she watched Lexi stare at the older woman with a strange expression on her face. She didn’t want to be rude but she needed to get out of there. Didn’t Darlene
