At the end of the day, Sam's body was humming with a pleasant sort of

exhaustion. Hair still damp, she slid into the passenger seat of Jack's SUV and

put her head back.

"Tired?" Jack poured himself into his seat, not uttering a word or complaint

about his right knee, which she'd caught him favoring a few times. "Because

I'm beat to hell. Who'd of thought dunking you would have done me in."

"I warned you," she said. "The sport is dangerous for retirees."

He slanted her a daring look. "Are you asking me to somehow show you I am

in no way ready for the old folks' home? Because that's what it sounds like,

and believe me, this body is still in prime condition, and I'm willing to prove

it."

She laughed. "Has a line like that ever actually worked for you?"

He rubbed his jaw, looking only a little sheepish. "Yeah."

Sam gave a slow shake of her head. "That's a sorry statement of my entire

gender." But inside, her whole body continued to hum with excitement.

Jack started the car and they drove out of the lot. "I think Heather pulled in a

ton of money today."

"Entertaining kids is a lot harder than I thought."

"You were a damn good sport about it." He glanced at her. "Thanks for—"

She laughed, shook her head. "Oh, no you don't."

"Oh, no I don't what?"

"You are not going to thank me."

"Uh … okay. Why not?"

She lifted a shoulder. "Because you were a good sport, too, and I'm not going

to thank you. Everyone should give back to their community like that, and I'm

ashamed to say I don't, not really. But I like the way I feel right now, so I'm

going to try to change that."

He glanced at her but didn't say a word, not until he pulled into Wild

Cherries. Turning off the engine, unhooking first his seat belt and then hers, he

faced her. He slid his hands to hers when she might have gotten out of the car.

"You're an amazing woman, Samantha O'Ryan. Anyone ever tell you that?"

She knew her smile was far too dreamy for her own comfort. "Stop it. You

don't know me well enough to say that. You don't know the truth."

"And what's the truth?"

"I'm bossy, outspoken and don't follow rules very well." She squirmed a

little. "Among other things."

"Yeah. So?" Lifting a hand, he tucked a wayward strand of hair behind her

ear, then trailed his finger down her throat until her breath caught.

"That doesn't scare you?" she whispered.

"That you're bossy, outspoken and don't follow rules?" He looked into her

eyes and laughed. "Maybe if you were my financial adviser, but no…" He traced

her throat again, down to the very base of her neck where she knew her pulse

had just leaped. "You don't scare me." He dipped his head and kissed the spot

his finger had just touched.

The feel of his lips on her had her head falling back a little, her eyes closing.

She told herself that the reason she didn't scare him because this … this thing

between them wasn't going anywhere. Nowhere except quite possibly—

hopefully—to the bedroom, and they both understood that.
