himself.
Along with being the best-looking woman he’d seen since getting out of the service,
she also solicited his respect with how hard she worked on top of taking care of her
sick mother and Addie, too.
The next thing he knew she’d scooted forward on the couch and wrapped her arms around
his neck. She was kissing him with enough passion he felt it clear down to the soles
of his feet. Damn! She was on
fire
and burning him alive right along with her.
She finally pulled back only to bury her face in his neck and make a noise that sounded
like a whimper. He ran his fingers through the wet strands of her hair, but before
he could pull her face up to look into her eyes, he felt it…

.
She clutched him tighter and sniffed.
Well, this wasn’t exactly going as he’d hoped.
“Hold me, Ronnie,” she whispered against his neck. “Just for a minute. I’m so sorry
for this.”
“Shh,” he whispered into her hair. “It’s okay. I’m sorry about bringing Buck.”
“No. It’s okay. You’re just warm and
wonderful
. It’s been so long since I’ve had someone to share with. I can’t thank you enough
for everything these past couple of weeks,” she sniffed.
Unsure of what to say for a few long seconds, he finally joked, “That’s why you pay
me the big bucks.”
She giggled and pulled back from him, quickly brushing her tears away. “I’m sorry
for crying all over you like a baby.” She laughed through the remaining tears. “I’m
so embarrassed.”
“Trust me, I have more reason to be embarrassed than you.” He smiled.
She gave him a look of confusion, so he looked down at his obvious reaction to the
passion in her kiss and then looked back at her with a grin.
“Oh, my God,” she whispered with a small laugh and then covered her beautiful smile
with her hand.
“You did it! Your lips are as talented as they are sexy. What did you expect?” He
laughed.
She gave him a funny look. “I have to get moving or I’m going to be late and my boss
will have a fit.”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay to drive?” he asked. He didn’t know how passing out affected
a person’s abilities.
She moved close enough to kiss him again but only said, “My legs are a little shaky,
but I will be okay once I cool down some.”
Leaning his forehead against hers he smiled. “Mean…you’re just plain mean.”
Laughing, she pulled away from him, stood up slowly and made her way to the stairs.
She watched Buck the whole way, until she disappeared up the steps. She really was
terrified of dogs.
“I’ve gotta hand it to you. I’ve
never
received
that
kind of a reaction from a woman before. You are the
man,
Buck,” he said to the dog.
Buck cocked his head as though curious about what he’d done. Ronnie pulled himself
up on the sofa and sat back. Buck got up from the rug and familiarized himself with
this new environment by sniffing everything, then lay back down on the rug.

naked.
Damn it!
How long he sat there attempting to get himself under control he wasn’t sure, but
soon enough she came back down the stairs again looking at Buck the entire time. She
was obviously back to normal Kayla mode, rushed and frantic. She grabbed her purse
off the table near the front door and began digging around in the bottom of it.
“Dang it.” She sighed, glancing nervously at Buck.
“Problems?” Ronnie asked.
“I can’t find my keys again,” she said in frustration.
“Promise not to freak out when Buck moves?” Ronnie asked her. At her silent agreement
he said, “Buck, find keys.”
Buck raised his head up off of his paws and then got up, lumbering down the
