and could not only destroy a car, but could destroy life as well. 
    She snickered again and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.  “Saeger, Matt was only asking you to help me get back into small town life!  He wasn’t saying that you needed to protect my virtue!”  She huffed for a moment. “I can do that all on my own.”
    “No, he asked me to protect you, Tyla.  And I’m not doing that by…” he waved his hand around and she felt warm and gooey when his eyes glanced down at her breasts, carefully hidden underneath a red sweater.  “Well, we’re not going to do that anyway, so it isn’t an issue.”
    She chuckled and turned slightly towards him, feeling hugely better now that the puzzle pieces were clearer.  “Okay, big guy.  I think I understand.”
    He glanced back at her warily, noticing the way her pretty, blue eyes sparkled.  That wasn’t good, he thought.  Not good at all.  “You do?”
    She shrugged, enchanted once again by his admission.  Saeger Rollins really was a charming man and he looked invincible.  But the more they talked, the more she started to understand him.  He was brilliant when it came to technical stuff.  He understood things that she couldn’t even grasp.  He was also strong, big, and confident about all things.  But deep down inside, she suspected he was just a big, gushy softy.  A man who felt more deeply than he cared to. 
    They arrived at the restaurant, and Tyla even waited until he came around to her side of the SUV and helped her out.  She wanted to hold his hand, but as soon as her feet were on the ground, he moved his hands away from her waist and stepped back, clearly reinforcing his plan that they were not going to touch. 
    Then he messed up that signal as she started walking towards the restaurant when he put his large, warm hand on the small of her back, leading her towards the doors.  And she liked that.
    As she sat across the table from him, a plan formed in her mind.  Saeger was her man.  In that moment, as his sharp eyes moved over the menu, she decided that he was going to be her lover.  She wasn’t sure how or when, but she was going to seduce him.  Now that she understood his apologies, and had heard about his ‘no-touching’ policy, her Get-Over-Saeger plan was gone. 
    Leaning forward, her fingers wrapping around the glass of iced tea, she looked into his dark blue eyes, fascinated with the man even more than she had been before.  “Tell me about your other businesses,” she said, prompting him on a subject that she knew he was comfortable talking about.  And while she listened, not really hearing whatever he was talking about, she worked on her new plan.  Yep, seduction was the only option.  And she’d have to get to know him better to truly understand how to accomplish her goal.  Maybe even get a few tips from Violet.  Her friend would be more than happy to give her ideas on how to overcome Saeger’s ‘no-touching’ policy.  Tyla almost laughed out loud at how exciting this was going to be! 
    Their burgers arrived and she ate with relish, feeling better than she had all week.  Saeger’s days where he enforced the ‘no-touching’ policy were numbered, she told herself. 
    “Have you had enough to eat?” Saeger asked, glancing down at her plate.  She’d eaten all of her burger but none of her fries.  As he watched her, his mind tried to figure out what was going on inside her pretty head.  Something wasn’t right.  He wasn’t sure what it was, but…
    She was smiling at him.  She might be sitting across the table from him but seeing that smile… it wasn’t good.  He didn’t need to see her butt in her jeans and those legs ending in those high-heeled, leather boots when she smiled up at him like that.  The effect was the same and he almost groaned out loud. 
    “I’m full,” she told him.  “Violet was right, these burgers are great!  Good call on the restaurant.” 
    He looked around and
