Chapter Five

One week later, Caroline, Bree and Dawn walked the short distance from her hotel to Well’s Sandwich Shop.

“Are you sure you want to eat there?” Dawn asked.

“I’m sure. It’s you guys’ favorite place and I’m not going to avoid it every time I come to visit. What if I move to the city? I can’t live that close to the best sandwiches around and not eat one from time to time.”

As she’d intended, they both laughed.

“Okay, if you’re sure,” Bree said, pulling the door to the shop open.

“I am, but you order for me,” Caroline said when she noticed Luke behind the counter. “Get me the special, I’ll find us a table.”

While her friends waited in line, Caroline searched the corner farthest from the register for an empty table. When she’d been about to give up, one opened near the window and she sat down, exhaling a sigh of relief.

The guy at the next table cast her an ugly, distasteful look, but she ignored him and pretended to check her phone. Anything to avoid looking in Luke’s direction.

She could admit in the privacy of her own mind that she’d lied to her friends about eating in the shop. Avoiding the place did seem silly and unrealistic, but she really hadn’t wanted to see him again.

Until she did.

Though she’d only glanced in his direction, knowing he was near sent her pulse racing. Her pussy ached when she thought about the way his muscled arm had held her so tenderly in the hours after they’d made love. She hadn’t expected his soft touch, but she’d reveled in it. He was muscular, handsome and tender all rolled into the perfect man.

In her eyes he was flawless—except for the fact that he didn’t want her.

She hated feeling so desperate for a man, but he called to her in a way no other had. She felt as if he desired her in a way that was far more than physical, and she longed to give him what he needed.

None of it made any sense.

They’d only been on one date, and since when did she pine for a man who had given her the brush off? Never. She never did. Once they ended their date or their night together, she never cried over the fact that the men disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again.

She was a one date wonder, and she knew that’s the way it would always be for her. Even though he seemed different, he wasn’t, and she had a feeling the shifter part of him had something to do with it. It wasn’t true love, or some desperate desire to be with her. It was animal magnetism and nothing more. The sooner she embraced the truth, the sooner she’d be able to shake off her lust for him.

Luckily, she’d be leaving town in two days.

With a few hundred miles between them, it would be easy to move on and forget about his perfection. Later, when she moved to the city, she doubted anything would change.
