Chapter 15

I stomped toward the back door, Jayson close on my heels. I halted and spun around. “What are you doing?”

“My uncle’s inside,” he said, his face blank. “I want to talk to him.”

This whole non-expression expression was really getting annoying. “Whatever,” I mumbled, turning back around and marching up the steps with the Neanderthal following me.

Unfortunately, my clumsiness took the opportunity to rear its ugly head. My foot slipped, and I careened backward, falling into what felt like a brick wall. A massive arm snaked around my waist, stopping me from any further movement.

Jayson’s intoxicating salty ocean scent sifted around me while I leaned against his chest, dizzy. My heart thumped wildly, and my skin began to swelter. He could have let me go. I wasn’t in danger of injuring myself anymore, but his arm remained secured around my waist.

Slowly, my head tilted back to glimpse those hazel eyes. Gold was beginning to burn out the green.

Jayson stared at me, the mask hiding his emotions lifting. The air became charged and hot, sparks of energy bouncing back and forth between us. That arm around me tightened, and his other hand skimmed across my hip.

I bit my lip to keep a sigh from escaping. This guy was driving me nuts.

Catching the movement, Jayson’s gaze lowered to my mouth, studying it. “I bet you taste like sugar, Angel Eyes.”

I squeaked an incoherent reply, my brain filled with a lusty haze. As if his rough whisper wasn’t bad enough, he had to go and say something like that. Flames licked at my entire body.

Jayson seemed to find my lack of brain function funny, his lips tilting up.

A dog barked somewhere, and he stiffened. That unreadable mask quickly slammed over his eyes.

“You’re welcome. Again.” He gently pushed me forward so I wasn’t snuggled against him. “If I hadn’t followed you, you would have cracked your head open.”

I righted my shirt as I tried to remember how to breathe properly. “Or I would have caught myself all on my own without slamming into your hard as a rock chest.” I pivoted and stomped up the steps. “I could get a concussion on that thing.”

A low, barely audible chuckle resonated behind me, and those dimples were reflected in the glass door for a millisecond.

My dad and Max stood at the center island in the kitchen drinking beer when we walked inside. “Geez, don’t you think it’s a little early?”

My dad scoffed. “It’s five o’clock. Happy hour. And why are you getting home so late?”

I dropped my books on the counter and jerked a thumb over my shoulder. “Shouldn’t you be asking why I have a massive shadow today?”

His eyes landed on that shadow. “Hi, Jayson.” An evil smirk slipped over his face, sending alarms blaring in my head. “Don’t pretend you’re bothered by your neighbor’s presence, Lena. I heard you on the phone last night, talking about how he was a piece of hot man candy—”

“Dad!” I blurted, turning ten shades of red. “You are such a liar.
