CHAPTER TWELVE

TWO DAYS OF sexual bliss, a man who could make her laugh and a dog. Rose hated for it to end, but the real world was calling them back.

She closed her suitcase and sat it on the floor. Smoothing the comforter, she grinned when she thought about all the action the bed had gotten in the last forty-eight hours. Not that they’d confined their activities to the bedroom. Jack was very inventive, and if she were the type to blush easily she’d be beet red in almost every room in the house.

“Let me get that.” Jack came in and picked up her bag. “Are you sure you have to leave?”

“Are you?”

About an hour ago Jack had gotten a call from Drew reminding him of a conference call they’d had scheduled for weeks. Besides, she needed to get back to work. Sam Laughton was expecting a progress report and she wanted to be able to tell him she would have the songs done by the end of June. He wanted her to deliver them in person to his Paris studio. A month ago she would have been tempted. Sam was attractive and very interested. Not her usual type, but tempting. Now she had every reason to stay in Harper Falls because of a different man who was not her usual type. Rose refused to think of the implications or of the knot in her stomach that formed when she thought too far ahead. She was enjoying the now and a knot free stomach.

“I should have turned off my phone.” Jack took her hand as they descended the stairs. “Unfortunately, Drew lives just down the road. No getting away from work when your partner can be at your house in less than five minutes.”

Edgar woke with a start as they came out of the house. He had been dozing in his favorite spot, but the moment he saw them he was wide awake and wiggling, easily beating them to the SUV. Jack opened the back passenger door and let him jump in.

“He gets so excited about going with me and then sleeps for most of the trip.” He laughed, giving the puppy a scratch before closing the door. He turned to find Rose staring.

“What?”

“Your hair is growing.” Rose knew she was stating the obvious, but it had just hit her how much longer it had gotten since the Lilac Ball. She sighed. She hadn’t thought a man could be any more gorgeous than Jack had been that night. Yet there he was, unshaven, hair at what should have been an awkward stubbly stage, and wearing jeans and a flannel shirt that had seen better days. And if anything, he was sexier. Rumpled suited Jack Winston.

Jack ran a hand over his head, grimacing slightly. “It couldn’t have gotten any shorter. Don’t worry, my hair grows very fast. In a few more weeks it will be back to a reasonable length.”

“I liked it,” she mumbled hoping her voice was too low for him to hear.
