CHAPTER 21: AMANDA

The change in Andrew’s guarded demeanor had not escaped Amanda’s notice, and she realized that her earlier efforts to make him squirm had been the wrong approach.

She’d been coming on too strong.

Some men were just strange that way; offended instead of grateful for being pursued by a beautiful woman. Or maybe he wasn’t used to this kind of attention. Except, if that were the case, she couldn’t understand what kept her competition away. He was very attractive in his own ragged and brooding way.

Tall and broad, his handsome if not pretty face was adorned with two small scars; one slicing diagonally across his chin, and a smaller one over his left brow. In her opinion, the scars only added character to his irresistible bad-boy allure. She wondered if there were any more of these cruel testaments to the battles he’d fought and survived hidden beneath the cover of his clothes. It was despicable of her, but she hoped so. It would make him even yummier…

There was nothing like a fierce warrior to whet her appetite…

Now that she’d eased up on the sexual innuendo, he seemed to be really taken with her, the scent of his arousal intensifying as he let down his guard. The dear man was attracted to her intellect and not just her looks.

How sweet. It made her like him even more.

It was a shame she couldn’t just drag him off somewhere private and show him how much. But there was something she needed to do away from Syssi and her yummy brother.

Amanda sighed. “As much fun as this is, I have a few more errands I have to run. You two stay. No reason to cut your time together short on my account.” Pushing up from her chair, she collected her handbag. “Onidu is parked in the back and will take you home when you’re ready.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll call him when I’m done to come and pick me up, or I maybe I’ll just take a cab home.” Amanda leaned to kiss Syssi goodbye. “Andrew, it was a pleasure. Once the lab is up and running again, I would love to run a few tests on you as well, if you’re willing of course.”

Andrew stood up and offered his hand. “Sure, it would be my pleasure. Just let me know when. I had a really good time… You’re a fascinating woman, Amanda.”

Ignoring his offered palm, Amanda pulled him in for a quick hug and kissed his cheek. “We’re family now, shaking hands is for strangers.” Flashing him her megawatt smile, she chuckled as a blush crept up his rugged face.

Once out of the café, Amanda walked the short distance back to the shops, heading for a jewelry store.

She planned to have a duplicate made of the small heart pendant hidden behind the collar of her blouse—the one Syssi had given her. There was no reason for Andrew to get upset upon discovering that Syssi had given away his gift. With both of them having identical pendants, chances were he would never find out.
