Chapter Fourteen

Sean smelled meatloaf. At first he thought it was his imagination, wishful thinking considering that he could be sitting down to one of Madeline’s meatloaf dinners right about now. But the scent stayed in the air to the point that he stopped working and turned around.

Seeing Maggie standing there holding a paper sack startled him so much he dropped his nail gun on his foot. Fortunately it didn’t go off and shoot a nail into his leg.

“I’m sorry!” She rushed forward, bag and all. “Are you hurt? I should have called out.”

Although he was wearing his work boots with the steel-tipped toes, his foot still smarted, but he wasn’t going to let her know. He picked up the nail gun. “I’m fine.” He liked the way she’d hurried over when she thought he’d been hurt, though.

An arm’s length away from him, she stopped. “That’s good.”

Once the shock of seeing her had worn off, he realized why she might be here. She’d probably talked with the property’s owner and wanted to give him the bad news in person.

He took off his safety goggles and laid them on his workbench. “I’m assuming you’re here to tell me you had a successful afternoon.”

“Unfortunately, I didn’t.”

Tension eased from his shoulders. “Why not?”

“The electricity kept acting up in Denise’s office, and besides that, Jeremy couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her computer. We’ll have to try again in the morning.”

Good old Jeremy. Sean would have to call and thank him for doing him that favor after all. “I can’t say I’m sorry that you didn’t get the information.”

“I’m sure you’re not.” She shifted the bag in her arms. “But I didn’t come to talk about that. I brought dinner. Madeline thought you should eat.”

Maybe having a reprieve was affecting his libido, or maybe the smell of meatloaf was an aphrodisiac for him, but he’d never had such an urge to strip a woman naked and make love to her. He realized that she was the first woman he’d ever had standing in his garage. The skunks had worked wonders to keep women from bothering him here.

He was curious as to why the idea of skunks hadn’t kept Maggie away. “Weren’t you worried about coming over here, knowing I have skunks living under the house?”

“I probably should be, but I’m a city girl. I’ve had limited experience with skunks.”

Just listening to her talk got him hot. It was the damnedest thing, after going all those months not being interested in sex at all. He remembered the way he’d touched her this afternoon and wanted to do that again…but only for starters.

He wondered if that box of condoms was still in his bathroom cabinet. Sylvia Hepplewaite had thrown the box at him when he’d refused to have sex with her in the cab of his truck. He’d picked up the box from the driveway and kept it, figuring there was no point in pitching it out.

But now wasn’t the time to be thinking of such things, damn it.
