Chapter 16

March

How in the hell had she thought this was going to be easier? Nothing was ever easy when it came to Jase Foster.

“Friends? I thought we already had this conversation,” Jase said, pitching his voice to be heard over the crowded bar where Romeo was playing bass guitar with his band. “I don’t think of you as a friend.”

“I remember. You never have. But I guess I thought maybe after our talk and how it’s been between us lately, I thought you might now.”

Jase let out a short laugh, then did that laser-tracking thing with his eyes where she couldn’t quite force herself to look away. “How it’s been between us lately should have told you exactly why friends isn’t where we’re headed.”

The words probably should have stung, but with the way Jase was looking at her with that small curve at the corner of his mouth… No, she wasn’t taking it hard.

“Okay, so you don’t want to be friends. What do you want?”

The question slipped past her lips before she had a chance to think how ridiculous it was. Because what Jase wanted was obvious.

An unoccupied storage closet in close proximity.

A car with enough legroom for two individuals of above-average height to be able to get up to no good.

A quick hookup—or not so quick, if he was in the mood to push his luck—in any semi-private space he could find.

Jase wanted sex.

Which she’d been great with before, but now, sex suddenly felt…complicated. Which was making her nervous.

“What I want,” Jase said, leaning down into her space and then brushing her hair back so that when he spoke quietly into her ear, his lips grazed the outer shell, sending tingles shooting down her arms, “is to take you on a proper date.”

She blinked, momentarily mesmerized by his sexy smell and the deep rumble of his voice. She blinked again.

“Wait, what?” she asked, pulling out of smelling range to shake off the crazy effect he had on her.

Jase held her eyes, that cocky grin firmly in place. “A date. You’ve heard of them, I assume. You know, where I take you out for a meal and a bottle of wine…before I take you back to my place and spend the rest of the night making you beg and moan and gasp my name in that way you know drives me wild.”

Wow, and the goose bumps were rolling across her skin like a wave rushing to shore.

Okay, that sounded good. Very good, actually. Except for the part about it being a very bad idea.

“I’m sorry, Jase. But I think that would be a mistake.”

“Really?” he asked, that smile not giving an inch. “Why?”

“Jase, neither of us is interested in a relationship. And honestly, I’m a little concerned that if we keep on the way we have been, someone’s emotions are going to end up getting involved.”

He nodded, those bright blue eyes tracking around the crowded bar before landing back on hers. “If I ask you a question, can you promise you’ll be honest with me when you answer?”

She owed him at least that much.
