of the shower. She was running late for dinner and didn’t have time for visitors. Her hair dripped down her back, and she shivered when she opened the door.
    Lukas stood there looking scrumptious in jeans and a dark green button down shirt that set off his eyes. If she kept staring, she would officially be late for dinner. She had a hard time asking Lukas to leave. Ever.
    “Hey, Tess, I’m your ride.” He grinned as his gaze swept from her wet hair down to her bare feet.
    “That’s nice of you. I was just going to walk. Thank you.”
    “Walk? It’s freezing out.” He shook his head. “You are bound and determined to get hypothermia.”
    “Yeah, but thanks to you, I have good winter gear. It’s only a few blocks away. But I’d love a ride. I was afraid I’d be late. I’m still not ready, obviously,” she said, waving her hand down her robe. She was suddenly very aware she was completely naked under the robe. Chances were he knew that too.
    She backed away from him. “If you want to have a seat, I’ll be ready in about fifteen minutes.”
    “Sure.”
    Dio pushed inside and stuck her cold nose inside Tess’s robe, revealing her upper thigh. Tess pulled her robe closed, but when she looked up, she saw a dangerous gleam in Lukas’s eyes. Oh, he got a good look. He opened his mouth to say something, but she cut him off.
    “I think Dio wants a treat. The box is on the counter.”
    She escaped to the back, shut and locked her bedroom door, and sat on the bed. That man took her breath away. She didn’t know what he was going to say, but if it had been anything along the lines of “let’s forget dinner,” she probably would’ve given in. She was so stunningly weak.
    Tess contemplated her wardrobe for a while and settled on a sweater, jeans, and high-heeled boots. It seemed sensible enough.
    She quickly dried her hair and found Lukas and Dio cuddling on the couch.
    “Ready to go?” Lukas asked. He frowned as he looked her up and down.
    “Do you approve?” Tess asked testily.
    “No. It doesn’t matter what you wear. It’s inappropriate,” he mumbled like he was pouting.
    “What’s that supposed to mean?”
    “I mean you could wear a tarp, and it would look sexy.” He shrugged.
    “Seriously? That’s the most awful thing anyone has ever said to me.” She set her hands on her hips.
    “It wasn’t meant to be an insult.”
    “Then you need to explain.”
    He walked toward her. She was unsure if she wanted to step back, or step up and meet him. He felt different tonight. On edge. He was so close that she could feel his heat and smell his cologne.
    “I suppose if you wore extremely baggy clothes, you could get away with it. But you’ve got curves in all the right places, and there’s no way for you to hide them. They are perfect. The Jorgenson boys will be rendered speechless. We need to go, or we are going to be late.”
    If Marie wasn’t waiting, Tess wondered if she’d have moved in closer to see what he did.
    They went outside, and the fresh air helped clear Tess’s head. Lukas turned her all upside down. She couldn’t be thinking about a man right now. Not with her troubles. She passed her hand over her stomach. So much to think about, and Lukas wasn’t a part of any of it.
    Dio jumped into a basket towed by the snowmobile. Tess climbed on behind Lukas and debated trying not to hang on, but as soon as he revved the engine, she wrapped her arms around his waist. She suspected he did that on purpose.
    The trip took all of five minutes. Five minutes of being pressed against Lukas while thinking about how he noticed her curves. Dio bounded up the steps and through the doggy door before Lukas shut the engine off.
    Lukas helped Tess off the machine. “They know we’re here.”
    Tess smiled. “Dio makes herself at home wherever she goes, doesn’t she?”
    “Everyone loves her. Good thing she’s never met someone who doesn’t.”
    Tess laughed. “Poor thing. You should make sure that
