CHAPTER 10

Jarrod’s house is nothing like I imagined. I thought it would be a modern penthouse apartment of glass and stainless steel. Instead, he lives in a small cottage, circa 1920. There are two bedrooms and only one small bathroom. His furniture is homey and comfortable.

He’s most proud of his guest room, which isn’t a guest room at all. Instead, it’s stuffed with antique personal computers. He shows me each one, as if they’re his children. I’m itching to take them apart and study their insides. It’s the engineer in me, but I don’t think Jarrod would appreciate that.

“Hungry?” he asks.

“Starved.”

Jarrod makes grilled cheese sandwiches on thick brioche bread. We sit in his small kitchen and scarf them down. “These are delicious,” I say. “I can’t believe that someone wearing such an expensive suit would know how to make grilled cheese sandwiches.”

“I’m surprised that such a talented scientist would be prejudiced and make judgments before testing her hypothesis.”

I bite my lower lip. “You’re right. I’m slipping. I’ve turned the corner into a prejudiced drunkard who picks up men in bars.”

“Yes. I think that’s what attracted me to you.”

We don’t do sixty-nine or any other number. We’re tired and a little bit in shock. We lie facing each other in his Tempur-Pedic bed.

“I’m married,” I say.

“What a coincidence. I’m married, too.”

I can barely make out his face in the dark room. The only light is coming from the glow of his alarm clock next to the bed. Still, I can see how beautiful he is. I’m not an artistic person, but I appreciate how things are made. I’m an engineer. I recognize perfection when I see it. I’m reasonably sure his outward perfection goes down deep.

He’s perfect inside and out. I’m sure of it.

The fact that he’s looking back at me takes my breath away. And he smells so good.

“Why do you smell so good? What kind of cologne do you use?” I ask.

“I don’t use cologne.”

“Oh.”

Jarrod touches me, tracing the borders of my face with his finger. “You were stunning to watch today,” he says.

“You think? I didn’t even recognize myself in that dress and makeup.”

“I didn’t mean at the wedding,” he says. “Although you did look stunning at the wedding. But I’m talking about at the office. Watching you with the engineers, your brilliant mind figuring out a solution that has eluded the top people in the industry. Stunning. Sexy.”

His finger glides along my lower lip. I open my mouth and take his finger in. I suck, gently. He moans. “Holy hell,” he says, his voice low and gravelly.

I never knew that a finger could taste so good. I half wonder if he’s coated it with something yummy, like chocolate or mashed potatoes. Whatever it is, I can’t get enough.

If his finger tastes this good, I extrapolate that the rest of him must taste even better. I stop sucking his finger and scoot down his body until his shaft is poised at my mouth. The tip is wet, and I touch it with my finger.
