Chapter Eleven

“Sorry dinner took so long.” Gabe pulled into Molly’s driveway. He noted the Porsche’s engine growled like a tiger and handled like butter. Gabe gave into a moment of serious car-envy. He’d been extra-careful with Max’s pride and joy all night. Except for Max’s new fiancé, the reporter loved nothing more than his vintage Porsche. Gabe’s ass would be grass if he let anything happen to it.

The car could go from zero to sixty in ten seconds flat. Unlike his date, who had perfected dawdling to an art form. Or to be generous, maybe she just enjoyed all of life’s little moments so much, she wouldn’t hurry through any of them. Either way, for a workaholic like Gabe, her pace took some adjusting.

And watching her roll every bite of soufflé around on her tongue as she savored it had provided him with pure pleasure, once he quit worrying about the time and the money and the public display of affection. They could go to a movie any day. But a night of Molly’s undivided attention was priceless. “Are you sure you don’t want to go to the midnight show?”

Her blonde bob flared out like adorable wings as she shook her head. One strand caught on her cheek and she brushed it back, tucking it behind her ear, exposing a sparkly, star-shaped earring. “That dinner was worth all the time it took. You should have let me split the bill though. I'd have paid any price for that dessert.”

His gaze fastened on her as it had been doing all night. Looking vibrant and gorgeous, she took his breath away, just sitting there.

From the shiny cap of hair, to the slash of shimmery eye shadow, over the creamy skin of her bare back and fabulous curves, all the way down her smooth and shapely legs to the strappy-backless sandals and her rosy-painted toes and toe ring, Molly held him enthralled. She presented a bright and lively package designed to tantalize and frustrate him. And she kept him on the edge of a full-blown boner most of the time.

Closing his eyes, he shoved away the real-life fantasy of her and the memory of their kisses. He focused instead on her last comment. She’d suggested they catch a movie another night. Relieved she wasn’t brushing him off and out of her life, he pressed. “Sure. Good, when? Where?”

She scrunched up her nose. Again, adorable. “Tomorrow? I’ll have to check the listing in the morning.”

He turned off the car and killed the lights, plunging them into shadow. “Okay, then.”

He suppressed the urge to check the information on his phone right this minute, since she found his command of the Internet less than impressive. Instead, he hurried around to open her car door. Walking up the drive, he hooked his hand through her arm. Her skin felt silky smooth, warm and soft.

She accepted his touch willingly enough again. But at some point during the evening, the mood had changed from the sizzling excitement that flashed between them to a more cautious, more subtle awareness.
