she held out her drool-soaked remainder of a cookie, offering it to Molly.
“Thank you, baby,” Molly said, as she pushed the cart through the store, waiting for Connor to text back.
She was determined to put her life back together, and if that meant ripping the man she loved away from his current residence and making him stay with her, then so be it. She was going to have to arrange for Winnie to say with Jim and Marcia, Luke’s parents, for a while because she knew having Winnie at their place was not going to be good for mending her relationship with Luke and it wasn’t going to be good for Winnie either.
Chapter Four
**Margo**
“Holy shit,” Margo said under her breath, as she stood in front of Lexi and Jake’s beach house. She couldn’t believe she was actually about to go out on a date with Parker Hill, the one man that could destroy her, the one man she’d been pining after for years…too many years.
Lexi was friends with Parker first back in college. They were best friends…even tried dating once and that turned out to be a horrible idea, but the minute Margo laid eyes on Parker and was introduced to him, she couldn’t get him out of her mind. To this day, he was always present in her mind when it came to her love life and what she wished would happen and who would be her partner in crime. Never did she think she would actually be going out on a date with the man.
Straightening out her light teal jumper as she stood in front of the house, she hoped she’d picked the right outfit. She wanted to seem casual, but hot at the same time. She wanted to give Parker a taste of what he’d been missing out on for years.
When she was getting ready in her small apartment, she’d decided on the strapless jumper that showed off her bronzed legs, round rear and full cup. She belted the waist to make her look tinier in the middle and paired the outfit with a pair of brown sandal wedges that were casual, but sexy as well. Her hair was simple, wavy and cascading down her shoulders. Make up was neutral and a pink gloss was the only thing that popped off her lips; she was ready.
Gathering all her bravado, she knocked on the door, which was weird because she never knocked on Jake and Lexi’s door. She fidgeted in place until Parker opened the door, taking her breath away.
The damn man always looked good, and tonight was no exception, as he stood in front of her wearing a pair of navy blue cargo pants, a white polo shirt that clung to his biceps and sandals. His hair was styled into a faux hawk and his face was cleanly shaved. He looked absolutely yummy.
Parker looked her up and down, taking in her outfit. The smile on his face and the heat in his eyes indicated that he was pleased with her choice of clothing.
Clearing his throat, he said, “Damn, you look good.”
Eating up his compliment, Margo spun in place, giving him a good show of her backside and said, “I would agree with you.”
Parker shook his head and laughed as he locked up the house. “Always the shy one, you are.”
Ignoring his teasing, she was headed for her car when he stopped her, “Do you think you’re driving?”
Margo looked around, “Uh, yeah. You have a car I don’t know about?”
Parker pulled out a garage door opener and clicked the button. Jake’s cars came into view as well as Lexi’s little red BMW convertible.
“You really think Jake’s going to let you drive his cars?”
“I know he is. Let’s take the Porsche,” Parker wiggled his eyebrows.
“I like you Parker, so I’m going to stop you from getting castrated by Jake when he gets home. Let’s be smart about this and take my car.”
“You’re not driving. I invited you out, I’m driving you.”
“Fine,” Margo tossed her keys at Parker. “Drive my car.”
Parker looked over at her little Smart Car that was parked by the curb and then looked at her as if she was crazy.
“I’m not driving that…shoe of a
