way?”
“You know who’s true and who’s full of shit. You aren’t going to fall for a line.”
She let out a soft laugh.
“I like these.” He swept his knuckles over the many earrings in her left ear, then leaned in close. “Are you pierced anywhere else, Jenna? I spend nights thinking about it.”
Her eyes went dark. Interest or desire? He wasn’t sure.
“And your tattoos. Those turn me on.” He cupped her wrist and caressed the tattoo of the earth, moon, and stars. “It makes me want to get you naked and explore your body. So, yeah, I think about you a lot, Jenna.”
“I don’t want to date you, Ty. I’ve told you before, you’re the wrong type of guy for me.”
“So you’ve said.”
She inhaled, let it out. “The problem is, there’s this thing.”
“A thing.”
“Yeah. A chemistry thing, between you and me. And it’s interfering when I go out with other guys.”
Oh, this was getting good. “A chemistry thing.”
“Sex.”
“Sex.” He shook his head. “Yeah, that’s a problem.” He brushed his shoulder against hers. He understood the chemistry thing. Just being near her made his dick spring to life.
She turned in the chair to face him. “It is. What should we do about that?”
“I don’t think sex is a problem for me, Jenna. You already know how I feel. The question is, what do you want to do about it?”
She slid her fingertip down the lapel of his jacket, the look she gave him burning him from the inside out.
Yeah, definite chemistry. He was surprised flames weren’t sparking between them. His breathing quickened and if she didn’t make a decision soon he was going to have to make a quick exit, because this woman was driving him crazy.
“I think you should come home with me tonight and we can talk about it,” she said.
“Ready when you are.”

JENNA HAD CONSUMED ENOUGH CHAMPAGNE TO KNOW she was inebriated, but not so much that she was dead drunk and unaware of what she was doing.
In other words, when this was all over, she wouldn’t be able to blame this on the alcohol.
There had been something in the air tonight. Maybe it was all the love she felt between Mick and Tara, and it reminded her of her way too solitary existence lately.
She was tired of coming home alone, and why should she? She was an adult, and if she wanted to bring a guy home and bang his brains out, she was entitled.
Ty didn’t seem like the fall-head-over-heels-in-love-after-one-night type of guy. She didn’t think he wanted to marry her or be her boyfriend, which made him perfect. He wanted to get into her panties, and she really needed a guy to get into her panties. The two of them had abundant chemistry, so she had no idea why she keptpushing him away. She was just foggy enough that all the valid reasons why she didn’t want to go out with him had fizzled away like a glass of flat champagne.
Besides, they weren’t going out. They were going to have sex.
Since her parents had picked her up this afternoon and taken her to the wedding, she didn’t have her car. Ty drove them to her place after she had said her good-byes. The wedding was winding down and only the die-hard partiers were left.
“Keys?”
She lifted her gaze. She and Tyler stood on the front step of her condo. “What?”
“Your keys.”
“Oh. Right.” She dug into her bag and produced her keys. Tyler took them and unlocked her door, pushed it open, and waited for her to walk in.
She flicked on the light switch. He closed the door behind them.
“This is nice.”
“You lie. It’s a wreck.”
“You’re right. I’m shocked. You keep the bar in tip-top shape.”
She turned to face him, only to find him grinning at her. And okay, she was embarrassed. She dropped her purse on the coffee table. “Yeah, well, I had to get out of here in a hurry today because my
