Mac – a few hours later

When they pulled into the driveway separating Elfie and Willa’s homes, Mac ventured a glance at Willa. “So …” If this had been an actual date, this was the moment to lean over and start smooching, but she hadn’t given him any clear signs that they’d moved beyond the relationship they had ten years ago. In fact, it was probably much stronger back then because he wasn’t so completely overwhelmed by her beauty. Weren’t women supposed to put on the Freshman 15lbs in college? If Willa had done so, they’d all gone to filling out the most alluring curves, and it was starting to play tricks with his body chemistry.

She gave him a gentle smile. “So?”

“I have one more favor to ask.”

“Yes?” She tilted her head, sending her long, golden waves tumbling over her chest.

He licked his lips and forced himself to focus on her brilliant blue eyes. “The mirror.”

“You need help unloading it. Duh.”

“No, I mean… I need a place to store it, and Gramma Elfie’s attic is already exploding. Is there any chance …”

“You seriously think that would fit in my attic?”

“I was thinking your bedroom.” He swallowed. “If you want it, I mean. It would make me happy to know it’s in use by someone who will take care of it.”

Willa’s eyes widened. “And if I break it?”

He gave a sad laugh. “I’ll assume responsibility for the seven years of bad luck.”

“No,” she said, patting his arm. It sent a thrilling jolt all down his left side. “You’ve already suffered your seven years.” Her words sent the electricity back up the right side.

“I trust it won’t be broken.” He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out, rushing to untie the cords.

Willa worked silently with him, and soon the mirror stood in her bedroom, framing the two of them as a couple in the reflection. Mac locked eyes with her in the glass, his heart pounding.

Retreating a step, he accidentally backed into the corner of her bed and sat hard. As he slid further to the floor, he grappled for something to hold on. His hand gripped a laundry hamper, and the next thing he knew, he sat on the floor with lavender scented bras and underwear on his lap.

“Smooth move,” teased Willa, leaning down to retrieve the basket. “Oh my gosh!” She blushed and hurried to hide her delicates, stuffing them back into the hamper. “Close your eyes! I forgot I left these there.”

Mac grinned and obliged, grabbing something at random to hold behind his back.

“Oh no you don’t, Mac Norton.” He opened his eyes as she dropped to her knees and prepared to wrestle with him for the article. “That’s my favorite one.”

He held it up. A soft blue, crazy-sexy bra that made his eyes pop. “You wear this?”

“Give it back!” She giggled, slapping his chest.

He tucked it behind his back again, and she lunged, her arms wrapping around him in an effort to win a tug-o-war with the lingerie. Suddenly, their bodies stilled, and the giggling stopped.
