Scott has become extremely bossy these days. I don’t think I should let him hang around with Ethan any more.”
    Olivia laughs, “As frustrating as he can be sometimes, Ireland is extremely sexy when he goes all caveman. There is just something about his confidence and the way he takes over and fixes everything. Ireland is definitely ‘a fixer’. And do you know what? Sometimes it’s nice to surrender control and just let him take care of me.” She drifts off in a little fantasy and the girls start to giggle.
    “She’s got it bad,” Shannon says, pulling her phone out of her pocket.
    “Hello? Earth to Olivia! What are you waiting for? Go and get your man, bring him home and claim him as yours once and for all,” Rachel demands.
    Reality sets in, making her hesitate, “Am I really going to do this? I mean, really? Ethan and I?”
    The girls scowl at her and she starts to blush, “Right! I’m on my way.”
    “Girl… you look positively bad ass! There is something else about you today. You look happy… confident. I haven’t seen you look like this in a long time,” Rachel struggles to keep her emotions under control.
    Olivia smiles. “It’s the dress.”
    Rachel frowns. “No, it’s the MAN!” she corrects her. “Be careful driving that car down town. That thing terrifies me.”
    Olivia stops, her hands in her purse clutching her key chain. Looking at Shannon, a very playful grin starts to form on her lips. “The boys took a limo downtown yesterday, right?”
    “Yes, why?” Shannon looks at her suspiciously, trying to figure out what’s going on in her mind.
    She’s full on smiling now, from ear to ear, “Because that means O’Connell’s Challenger is sitting at his house.”
    Rachel looks confused, “How can you take his car?”
    “I have my own set of keys,” she says, jingling the key chain in the air.
    “He gave you a set of keys to his car?” Both Shannon and Rachel ask in unison and then look at each other annoyed.
    “Yup, and he gave me keys to his house, as well.”
    “Holy crap! Where have I been?” Rachel asks. “At what point did your relationship move forward into exchanging keys for cars and houses?
    “A few weeks ago,” Olivia shrugs.
    “Do you have any kids together that I should know about?” Rachel asks sarcastically.
    “No, not yet,” she teases, “Maybe nine months from today though.”
    Glancing at her watch Shannon hurries her along. “Go!” Shannon insists, pushing her toward the door.
     
    Olivia says a silent prayer, as her car jumps and sputters all the way to Ethan’s house. What’s wrong with this car? She still has three more payments left on the last repair bill. Ethan will be furious if he finds out there’s something else wrong with it. She smiles, thinking about how his jaw tenses and his nostrils flare when he’s angry. How that little nerve in his temple starts to jump and the deep, low growl in his voice when he tries to calm himself. Jesus, she misses him. She misses everything about him, his sense of humor, that annoying boyish grin, his temper and the frustrating way he fusses over her safety. Most of all, she misses how she feels alive and loved when he’s around her. Holy Shit! It’s only been two days but it feels like she hasn’t seen him for weeks.
    Jumping into the Challenger, she puts on the aviator sunglasses that he’s left hanging over the visor. She turns up the stereo and puts that car through its paces on the highway. Nearing the downtown core, she starts feeling all riled up. Gently flowing air blows through the car vents, circulating the seductive smell of her perfume. The silky feel of her dress, rubbing against her skin, has her hormones working overtime. Her heart races with excitement. She can already feel the ache of arousal between her thighs. Squeezing the steering wheel tightly she has a moment of anxiety. There’s no turning back now. She’s going to do this.
