While Jake wouldn’t call himself a perfectionist, he was an astute planner, who liked to know exactly where he was headed before getting there. That wasn’t true when it came to the woman in his arms. He knew they were headed somewhere, but where was a mystery to him.

One minute, the idea of getting to know Sienna filled him with an excitement he hadn’t felt in a long while. The next… he was reciting the reasons why keeping things professional between them was for the best, reminding himself to stay on the right side of the proverbial strictly-business line he’d drawn in the imaginary sand.

Yet, he often found himself continually towing said line, getting closer and closer to catapulting over it. Like now, when his desire to kiss Sienna was greater than his need to take his next breath. So why was he hesitating? Would kissing her be so bad? Unfortunately, the doorbell rang, determining his next move for him.

Sienna pulled away from him with urgency, as if she’d decided that what nearly happened between them had been a mistake. She hugged her arms around her body. The move drew his eyes to her breasts and her taut nipples, pushing against the fabric of her shirt. It ravished his body all over again.

“That’s probably Holt letting me know he’s leaving.”

“You’re finished?” she asked.

“Almost. There’s one more component left before the job will be complete. It requires your input and for you to take a ride with me.” His words seemed to spook her a bit.

“Take a ride with you?”

“Don’t tell me that after all we’ve been through, you don’t trust me. That would really hurt my feelings,” he said, giving her the most pitiful puppy-dog eyes he could muster.

Sienna laughed. “Fine. Just let me change.”

“I’ll wait for you out front. Dress warm.”

“Dress warm? Where are we going?”

He smirked. “If I told you, it would ruin the surprise.”

Ten minutes later, Jake led Sienna to his vehicle.

“Is that your personal vehicle?” Sienna asked.

“Yes,” he said. Instead of the work truck he usually drove to jobs, he’d opted to drive his personal vehicle—a burgundy four-door GMC Sierra 1500–because he’d been hopeful Sienna would venture out with him. This truck was far more comfortable than the other.

Once Sienna was settled in the passenger’s seat, he closed the door, made his way to the driver’s side and slid behind the wheel. “We need some mood music.”

When he increased the volume of the radio, Candi Staton’s “Christmas in My Heart” poured through the speakers. It gave him pause. The sound of his mother’s angelic voice filtered into his head, singing her rendition of the song. “This song brings back memories,” he said.

Sienna smiled. “Good ones, I hope.”

“The best. This was one of my mother’s favorite songs.”

Sienna reached forward and increased the volume even more. “Then we should remember your mother out loud.”

Jake eyed her a moment. When she flashed him a delicate look, it caressed him like gentle fingers. In a way similar to how her fingers had slid across his chest earlier.
