* * *

This had been, Erin decided, the nicest Christmas she’d had in years. Other than the emotional blip at Jenny’s house, she’d gotten through a day that had been difficult for her in other years. Much of the day’s success was due to the man who was now driving her home.

He’d been quiet since they left the McCarthys’, and Erin wanted to know what he was thinking. But she didn’t ask. She wanted to thank him again for being such a rock for her when she was spinning earlier. She wanted to tell him how, in the past, an episode like that could’ve ruined her for days, but because of him, that wouldn’t happen this time.

There were so many things she’d like to tell him, but she wasn’t sure he was ready to hear them. They were in the odd position of having been close friends for months but romantic partners for only a few days. It would be easy—too easy—to press the accelerator on the new romantic portion of their relationship in light of the many hours they’d already spent together, talking, laughing, flirting, sharing confidences.

When the silence became weighty, she decided to ask what he was thinking about.

“Naked boy-naked girl,” he said with a sly grin.

“How funny was that?”

“Funniest thing I’ve ever seen, but I wasn’t thinking about the kids. I was thinking about you. And me.”

Was it warm in here, or was it her? “How many McCarthy men do you suppose are using that line on their women tonight?”

“I suspect all of them. It’s an instant classic. Have I mentioned how incredibly hot you look in that skirt?”

“Um, no, I don’t think you have.” It was definitely getting warmer in the small cab of his truck.

“Major oversight on my part. All day today, I’ve been wondering what you’ve got on under there.”

“Will you be disappointed to find plain old white cotton?”

“Absolutely not. Nothing about you has disappointed me.”

Would he be disappointed to learn that she would never want to fly with him? That thought threatened to ruin the nice warm buzz she had building thanks to his shameless flirting, so she pushed it aside for another time.

He reached over to run his hand up her leg, under her skirt, stopping at the top of her thigh, which he gave a gentle squeeze that ignited her desire. That he could make her feel so much by barely touching her was remarkable and unprecedented. For a long time after she and Mitch broke up, she’d wondered if she’d made a terrible mistake by letting that relationship go. In just a few days, Slim had shown her what’d been missing with Mitch.

By the time he pulled into the driveway at the lighthouse, he had her on the verge of explosion, and he still hadn’t done anything more than touch her leg. When he got out to deal with the gate, she shivered from the cold as much as the loss of his warm palm on her thigh.

He drove the truck through the gate and then got out again to close and lock it.
