Chapter 11

The doorbell rang at exactly eleven the next morning, and Amy pulled open the door to find Jason on her front porch, wearing his black ski jacket and jeans, and somehow looking sexy as hell. His hands were tucked into his pockets, and he’d stepped back from the doormat, like he didn’t want to be too close when she opened the door.

He sure had that ruggedly handsome thing going for him, she thought as she met his gaze. He smelled of cologne and soap and something distinctly male, and she was dying to pull him closer, which was completely crazy.

“You look nice,” he said, a smile tugging at his lips.

She flushed and glanced down at her pale pink sweater and jeans. Of course she didn’t want to look like she was trying too hard. This was just supposed to be her neighbor dropping by to check out her artwork. But she had taken extra care this morning when she dressed, putting on a little makeup and selecting an outfit she liked. The lightweight sweater hugged her curves nicely, and the jeans were snug yet comfortable. All those hours running had paid off, so why not dress in something that made her look great, right?

“Thanks,” she said, meeting his gaze again. “You too. I mean, come in,” she said, stepping back and gesturing for him to come inside.

Jason smiled, and she wondered if he knew just how flustered she was around him. This was getting ridiculous. “Let me take your coat,” she said. He shrugged out of it and offered it to her in a one-handed grip, and she noticed how muscular his hands were.

Briefly, she imagined them dragging over her bare skin, and then she decided she was being silly. They were going to talk about her artwork, not make out on the sofa like a couple of teenagers.

She nervously took it with both hands and hung it on the coat hook beside her front door. It looked perfectly in place right there next to her red parka, she thought with a smile. Not that he’d be over here all the time or anything, but still. It was a nice feeling having another man’s things in her home.

My God, why on earth had she dwelled on her ex so long anyway?

“It looks like you were right,” Jason said.

“About what?” she asked as she turned around.

“The snow is already melting.”

Amy laughed. “Right, it’s always like that this early in the season. We might get a snowstorm, but it’s over almost as quickly as it started. Anyway, let me show you the painting. My studio is upstairs.”

“Sounds great.”

She turned, and he followed her up the stairs. It felt almost intimate leading him back toward the spare room, which was just across the hall from her bedroom. But all her artwork was in the small office/studio, so it seemed the most appropriate place to show him the painting she thought he’d like. She had a few others that could be possibilities as well if the one she had in mind wasn’t exactly his style.
