Nicki glanced sideways at Jack and then back at the larger-than-life outdoor movie screen. She’d never been to a drive-in before, and it was nothing like the eleven-movie multiplex theaters back home in New York.

Jack glanced down at her and laid an arm around the back of her seat. “Having a good time?”

She nodded and then had to stifle a yawn. Shocked at her own appalling lack of manners, she covered her mouth. “I’m so sorry. It’s no reflection on you or the movie. I’m just a little tired.” And wasn’t that the biggest understatement of the century? She hadn’t really slept in a month, not since she’d been on the run.

“That’s all right, darlin’. You want to go home?”

She shook her head. “No. I’m enjoying being out. I’ll be fine.”

He pulled her closer until her head leaned against his strong shoulder. “Rest for a bit.”

Like she’d actually be able to rest this close to him. Since their little trip to Jack’s pond, every time she closed her eyes or even let her mind wander, visions of a naked Jack swam through her head.

Even so, she must have fallen asleep because the next thing she was conscious of was Jack kissing her softly on the forehead. “Nicki?”

She opened her eyes. “I’m sorry. I fell asleep. Is it over?” She saw the screen filled with an ad for the snack bar.

He smiled, his face very close to hers. “The first one is over. It’s a double feature, but the second movie is some horror flick. I would have just driven us home, but you’re on my right arm and I need it to shift.”

While apologizing, she started to move away, but his arm around her shoulder stopped her from going too far.

“Don’t apologize, darlin’. I liked it. You’re so cute while you sleep. I hated to wake you up.”

He leaned in a little closer, or maybe she did. Either way, she suddenly found herself in the position where there was a choice to be made. Pull back and save herself from the temptation, or move forward and succumb to what she’d been thinking about so much lately, pretty much non-stop. Jack. His sexy, low voice washing over her body. His thick southern drawl that almost seemed to cling to her like molasses. Jack, the man whose mouth hovered temptingly above hers.

Jack truly was a southern gentleman. Their lips were just a breath apart, but he didn’t move in. It was as if he waited for her to move first. But if the look in his eyes was any indication, he wanted this kiss as much as she did.

Licking her lips, Nicki dropped her gaze briefly to his mouth, leaned in and then lost herself in his kiss. She heard his quick intake of breath before his other hand moved to cradle the back of her head. Her hands found their way up his rock-hard chest, and then down the V to his narrow waist and hips.

He nibbled gently on her lower lip before tilting her head and sliding his tongue inside her mouth.
