Chapter Four

Jocelyn had intended to torture Garrett for a lot longer, but after he’d explained why he wasn’t effective at role-playing her enemy, she didn’t have the heart for it anymore. She’d planned to work him into a frenzy of desire and then hit him with what she knew. Then she’d demand explanations for not getting in touch seven years ago and for his secretive behavior this morning.

Now she wasn’t sure whether those explanations mattered. The air between them pulsed with sexual need and nothing seemed more important than satisfying those needs. She couldn’t think about anything else.

They didn’t chat as he drove away from Charlotte and Tony’s house. When he pulled up to a red light, she looked at him. If she hadn’t known better, she’d think he was in a towering rage. But she understood why his jaw was set and his big hands were clenched on the steering wheel. Rage had nothing to do with it.

He glanced across the intersection at a drugstore on the corner. “I’m stopping.”

“But I have –”

“Doesn’t matter.” When the light changed he pulled across the intersection and swerved into the parking lot.

She had to admire a guy who insisted on his own brand instead of taking whatever leftovers a woman had in her cabinet.

He parked and left his keys in the ignition. “Be right back.”

Once he was gone, she reached over and switched the ignition to auxiliary power. Then she turned on his music. Until now she’d never appreciated the richness of a symphony like this, but then she’d never heard it while in a state of extreme arousal.

She turned up the volume and the deep chords vibrated the SUV’s chassis. Her nipples ached for his touch. No one else had ever caressed her with such a devastating combination of tenderness and urgency. She remembered his touch vividly and wanted it again, but oh, how she needed what they’d been denied seven years ago.

When he emerged from the store, his stride was brisk. She shivered with longing. Hurry, hurry.

He climbed into the driver’s seat and handed her the small bag. “You turned on the music.”

“Yes, I did.” She held the bag in her lap. “Now drive before I go crazy.”

“Watch for cops.” He squeaked the tires leaving the parking lot.

Surrounded by the music and his virile energy, she scanned the road ahead and checked the side view mirror looking for squad cars while he blatantly broke the speed limit. She had her keys out before he pulled into the last parking space in the visitor area and her door was open before he turned off the engine.

He was right behind her as she hurried up the stairs and twisted the key in the lock. Once inside, she tossed her purse on the entry table before heading quickly down the hallway toward her bedroom where she’d left one lamp turned on. She made it through the door before he caught up with her and spun her around.

His glasses were gone, obviously laid aside before he’d followed her into the bedroom.
