Chapter Ten

Violet was in the middle of trying to figure out what to do with her purse when she heard the rumbling sound of an engine outside. She peered through the blinds in time to see Jackson put down the kickstand and remove his helmet. He ran his fingers through his hair and then swung his leg over the seat to the ground. His tight-fitting shirt hugged his muscular biceps and clung to his chest and ripped abs. The picture he made walking to the door was almost enough to make her forget the ordeal ahead.

In spite of knowing he was out there, the pealing of the doorbell still caused her to jump. She took a deep breath and went to open the door.

“Good morning,” he said.

“Hey, Jackson.” She swung the door wider. “Could you come in for a minute? I need to ask you something.”

He smiled as he stepped through the door. “You’re not going to back out on me, are you?”

“No. I told you I’d try it, and I will. What I was wondering about is my purse.” She held it up so he could see it. “Is this too big to take with us?”

“Not at all. There’s a compartment we can put it in.” He walked over to the Kimball piano sitting near the window. Its surface was covered with family pictures. “Is this you on a skateboard?”

Violet laughed as she went over to join him. “Yes. I used to love doing that.”

“Your hair was lighter then.”

“I know. I was upset when it turned brown. I wanted to be blonde like my sisters.”

He glanced at her. “You’re much prettier this way. The darker color brings out your beautiful eyes.”

“You don’t have to butter me up. I’m going to get on the Harley.”

“That wasn’t what I was doing,” he said, moving closer. His fingers slid into her hair and then his lips were on hers, softly searching, but not demanding. Electricity buzzed through her veins. Her hands lifted from her sides to clutch at his waist, her fingers sliding into the belt loops on the side. He made a sound low in his throat, and her body pulsed in response. When he let her go, she was glad she was holding onto something.

He touched her cheek with a gentle finger. “I was right. Your eyes do turn blue when you’re kissed.”

“Is that why you kissed me?” She realized she was still holding on to him and dropped her hands.

“No. That was just a bonus. The real Violet is starting to emerge from her cocoon.”

“What does that mean?”

“You’re letting your hair down and not hiding behind that wall of reserve.”

“Just so you know: there are limits to how far I let down my hair.”

Jackson laughed. “Never say that to a man. It’s like drawing a line in the sand and daring him to cross it.”

“I’m not that kind of girl, and I didn’t think you were that kind of guy.”

He caught her hand and kissed the tips. “I knew that, and I’m not, so you have nothing to worry about.
