Chapter 16

Andy wasn't in the mood for dancing. He shouldn't have touched Rose, but her bare shoulder was right there. He looked down at his hand. What was he looking for? Was it going to show some sign of her skin? He rubbed his fingers together thinking of the silky feel, of the toned, soft muscle.

Discovering his date was the dancing type, it suited him that she spent the better part of the evening doing just that. Purposely, he caught up with his cousin, Hannah. She would soon return to college. He missed her sassy tomboy attitude. Of course, how else would she turn out growing up with four boys? He found James and Jonathon, too. In a few months, they would start their freshman years of college. Small talk with family was just the ticket. Yet, he didn't and couldn't let Rose out of his sight. He found himself maneuvering around friends and family as they reminisced in order to keep her in view.

He knew the minute she walked down and stood at the bridge over Black Creek. Looking around he found Otto? Otis? Hell if he could remember. Andy spotted him with his nose inches from his smart phone.

Fumes filled every inch of her body so similar to what she'd felt at the Florida reserve. Damn it, why did she let him do this to her? She wasn't like this anymore, she reminded herself. Shifting, she looked him full in the face. "His name is Oliver and he's a professor and an intellect and has the same interests I do. We've created the educational portion of the action center together and, and it's none of your damned business who I'm marrying and who's my type and what the hell are you doing down here?" She panted with anger and heartache and... heat. Her eyes dipped to his lips for just a fraction of a second. She forced her eyes back to his, keeping purposely expressionless.

"Does he know you press your lips together like that..." Andy motioned toward her mouth. "...when you're... you know?"

She could feel the warmth grow in her cheeks, the veins bulging at her temples. "What gives you the right? Who the hell do you think you are?" Yelling now, she gesturing wildly.

Andy took a step close enough to her to smell peaches. He stared down into the light blue of her eyes. "Does he know
