Chapter 2

Jamie snuck a glance across the table at Grace. She seemed more relaxed tonight than usual and he wondered about the change in her demeanor. She was always easy to be around—low-key, laid-back—but tonight she was different. Hell, she was the life of the party—telling jokes and laughing loudly. He’d always known she had a terrific personality, but it was more vibrant tonight, more animated…and more attractive.

He tried to covertly adjust his tight jeans over the half-hard cock he’d been sporting ever since they’d walked into the bar. His friends teased him mercilessly for what they referred to as his crush on the cougar. He usually told them to go fuck themselves when they got on a roll. Jamie didn’t mind being the butt of their jokes occasionally, but he got annoyed when they acted as if Grace was too old for him. She was only eight years older, though he knew she viewed that gap to be as vast as the distance from New York to California.

“Last softball game on Monday,” she said to him. “What do you think your chances are?”

“So long as Maddie doesn’t injure her pitching arm at the lake this weekend, I think we’ve got a pretty good shot. Our record is a bit better than theirs and they don’t have much on the mound.” Maddie was his star player and he never ceased to be amazed by Grace’s support of her daughter’s talent. When it had become apparent Maddie’s interest in the sport wasn’t just a flash in the pan, Grace had asked Jamie to teach her the finer points of softball, so she could pass the lessons on to her daughter. He’d given Grace an old catcher’s mitt of his so Maddie could practice her pitches and Grace had never missed a game.

“Damn, I didn’t even think to warn her about the waterskiing. Maybe I should call her and tell her not to—”

He cut her off. “Grace. I was joking. Let her have her fun this weekend. We only have one more game and it’s not like we’re making the playoffs this year. Not with the rocky start we had.”

“You’ve got a great team, Jamie, and they’ve grown so much over this season. I know Maddie’s learned a lot about the sport from you.”

He smiled at her compliment. “I hope I’ve been telling her the right stuff, considering she’s signed on to play in college. Hate to have some big-shot university coach telling her I’ve taught her all wrong.”

“I don’t think there’s any danger of that.”

As he looked at her, Jamie recognized how much the mother and daughter favored each other. Maddie’s hair, like Grace’s, was long, wavy and blonde. However, while Maddie’s eyes were dark, Grace had bright blue eyes that sparkled when she laughed. She also had a smooth complexion that belied her age and the sexiest body he’d ever seen—curvy in all the right places.

“You look pretty tonight.” He wasn’t sure where the words had come from or why he’d chosen that moment to say them, but he knew they were true.
