One night. One night.

It’s only one night.

The fact that Jade needed to remind herself was troubling. She’d been sitting across from Declan for nearing two hours and he had thoroughly won her over. Which meant, naturally, she was mad as hell at him.

He wasn’t supposed to be open and affectionate and funny.

He was supposed to be a jackass.

She needed him to forget her, or flirt with the waitress, or order his steak still mooing so she had a reason to stand up, flip him the bird and walk away. For good. But no, instead he showed up not on time but early, didn’t spare one glance at Bree’s bountiful boobies—which was more than Jade could admit to, since she was kind of enthralled by them—and he’d ordered a vegetarian dish, smiling when he told her he’d been off meat for several months.

Punctual. Faithful. Conscientious. A trifecta of death for her heart, her mind and her ovaries.

“Are you ready?” Declan’s voice was right beside her ear, causing her body to chill, then warm as the shock of his nearness gave way to arousal. His voice. Her ear. I bet he could make you come with just his words.

She nodded, allowing him to slide her chair back so she could stand. Threading her arm through his offered one, they walked through the restaurant in near silence, broken only by one last “thank you” exchanged with Bree.

“She winked at you,” Jade whispered, leaning in closer to ensure that Declan was the only one who heard her. Whether or not she took advantage of that nearness to breathe in his mouth-watering smell was moot. Mostly, she just wanted to know how he would react.

“How do you know she wasn’t winking at you, Freckles?”

His unexpected question brought Jade to a halt. “Why would you say that?”

“Because I spent the entire night watching her as she flirted with you, paid you extra attention, and because I know that if I didn’t have your arm in mine, I’d be winking at you too.”

“Oh.” Dumb though it may be, his words said in a playful, slightly awed voice rendered Jade a little speechless. Of course she’d known Declan found her attractive. He’d certainly made no bones about it over the months of their frenemy-ship, but there was something about the way his arm wrapped hers tighter as he told her he’d flirt with her that made her brain shut down.

Which was a nice change. The sassy bitch upstairs was getting far too mouthy for Jade’s liking, and she feared that meant she was mere days away from a total breakdown.

“Come on, Jay. Let’s get out of here.”

Jay. Brighton called her Jay all the time. Chris had called her Jay, also. But Declan had never. Not once in all their interactions, good or bad, had he called her that.

She liked it falling from his mouth. A lot.

So much that, as the doors of the restaurant closed behind them, she released his arm, turned so she was standing in front of him, raised onto her tiptoes and planted a chaste kiss on his lips.
