more protein today. I’ll let you know how she’s doing when I come for you.”
“That sounds good. I’ll see you later.”
He e ended the call and headed to his sister’s, feeling good about seeing Sue again.
Chapter Seven
After leaving Keely’s, Alex swung by his place to feed Duke, shave and change before he went to pick up Sue for their date. He walked up the flight of stairs at the apartment complex to her floor and knocked at her door. She answered, looking surprised he was there.
“Hi ,” she said, holding a few pieces of paper in her hand.
She looked adorable standing there barefoot and downright sexy in the faded t-shirt and shorts she wore. He doubted she was ready for their date, but the sight of her dressed like this caused his body to tense, his throat to go dry. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her and he found his reaction unnerving.
“I -Is this a bad time?”
“No. No. Come on in. I told Kimberly I’d help her with a few wedding details today and she brought this long list over. I’ve been trying to figure out how I am going to manage it all in the next several weeks. I guess I let time slip away from me. Can you give me fifteen minutes to change?”
“Sure. Take your time.”
“Would you like something to drink while you wait?” she asked closing the door behind him.
“I’m fine.”
“Okay. Go on into the living room and have a seat.”
He went into the room, but he didn’t sit. He liked the open floor plan and the white crown molding that encased the gas fireplace.
“How was Keely?” she asked, putting the papers on the small antique secretary desk in the corner.
“Better. She was napping when I got there. Darren said she’d be en sleeping off and on all day and her ankles weren’t as swollen. She woke right before I left and assured me she was fine and would be back to work on Monday.”
“That’s good.” Sue handed him the television remote. “Watch whatever you like. I won’t be long.”
“Okay.” He reached for the remote but grasped her hand instead. He pulled her to him. “If you’d rather not go out we can stay in.”
A flush crept up her cheeks. “And do what?”
He shrugged. “I’m sure we could come up with something.”
She looked up at him through thick lashes and licked her tempting lips.
He cupped her cheek with his hand and ran the pad of his thumb across her lips before he lowered his head and brushed his against hers. She snaked her arms around his neck and smiled, rising up on her tiptoes to meet his next kiss. He held her close, enjoying the feel of her against him as he slipped his tongue into her mouth and tangled it slowly with hers.
Heart pounding , Sue broke the kiss as alarm bells went off in her head. What were they doing? This was too much, too soon, especially after their intimate dancing last night. She swallowed hard and pushed the remote toward him again. “I better go change.”
He nodded, took the remote , and turned toward the couch.
Like a silly schoolgirl , she hurried from the room to the safety of her bedroom and closed the door. She leaned against it while her mind raced ahead to where that kiss could have gone. Heat and tingles of awareness flooded over her from head to toe and she knew she was in big trouble. It didn’t help that the gris-gris burned hot against her chest. She swallowed hard, taking several deep breaths until her heart stopped racing.
When she finally felt more in control, she s lowly pushed away from the door, discarding her t-shirt and shorts as she went to her closet to select something to wear. The only problem was everything she pulled out made her afraid it would look too sexy on and he’d want to kiss her again. If that happened, they’d never leave.
“Get a grip, girl.”
Finally, she settled on a peasant style gauzy top in teal and tan khaki pants. She matched it with coral earrings and a lightweight sweater in the same color for when it
