The very inappropriate and silly sex-motions Carol made against the old doorframe behind Carter’s back made me laugh out loud.

“Everything okay?” Carter looked at me as if I’d lost my mind when he took the short black dress from my arm.

Maybe I had. How else could I explain my absolute teenage-like attraction to him? How else could I explain how he made me giddy beyond belief, how I luxuriated in the feeling of being taken care of by him? Like, right now, when he took the dress and carried it for me…and looked deliciously male doing it. And how he steered me to his car, which was parked at the curb, with his hand on the small of my back. How could I not be insanely attracted to him?

Gone was the tough woman I’d worked so hard on becoming. Completely gone. And I didn’t even miss her. Didn’t feel for one moment like I was letting my fellow feminists down. And how could I? He was observant, honed in on me, like I’d never experienced before. “I’m okay. There’s one thing I have to do tomorrow, though.”

“And that is?”

It didn’t take more than his smoldering, brown eyes focusing on at me and me desperately wishing to be back in his hotel room, back in his bed. “Grace called. One of Dorothy’s kids died, and there’s a funeral tomorrow that I need to attend.” I didn’t dare ask if he would go with me even though I desperately wanted him to.

He took a moment.

I liked the way he was mulling things over in his mind before he talked.

Considerate. And sexy.

“How is your stance on company?”

“In general or yours to the funeral?”

He looked at me, waiting, a soft smile playing around his lips.

And I suddenly felt seventeen again. “I would love your company.” Was I swooning? I could swear I was swooning. When did I become one of those bimbos who swooned if a guy so much as smiled at them?

He leaned over and gave me a tender kiss on the check and then nuzzled my ear. “Is your friend mimicking having sex with the doorframe or is she having a seizure?”

I grinned. Of course, he had super observation skills, as well. “Seizure, definitely a seizure. But she’ll be okay.”

He winked at me and gave me another kiss on the lips before he led me to his car.

Wow.

How he managed to handle the clothes, myself, and opening the car door, I didn’t know.

I waved at Carol. She would have a fit had she known he’d seen her, but I loved her silly side.

He got in, and we drove to the end of the road where he could turn the car around.

We passed the Little Women’s Home, then the two other big, old mansions on the outskirts of Three Oaks. All three houses had been built around 1920 for the three daughters of the local lumber tycoon, and sadly, the other two houses had been abandoned, as had the old lumber mill a little farther up the hill.
