Chapter Nineteen

Zeke had pulled out all the stops to convince Teague to share the cost of that expensive bubbly. This was his first date in years, damn it, and he wasn’t letting some other man buy his lady’s champagne.

He’d forgotten the thrill of treating a woman to a night of dinner and dancing. Nell brought out romantic impulses that he’d kept buried for some time. Yvette’s barrage of insults and putdowns had staunched the tender feelings he’d once had for her.

After she admitted cheating on him, his only goal had been protecting Claire, being the solid, dependable parent she desperately needed. His own sexuality had become irrelevant, a nuisance, in fact, to be contained as best he could.

Until Nell. Until their explosive encounter a week ago. And now, flirting with her over dinner and holding her in his arms on the dance floor reawakened an instinct to be there for her, the man she turned to, her hero.

But he wasn’t that single guy with no responsibilities he’d been ten years ago. He’d do well to keep that in mind, enjoy the moment and keep a tight rein on his tendency to dream.

They’d just finished an energetic two-step and he’d pulled her in tight for the finish when she glanced up at him, her breathing as erratic as his. “How soon can we leave?”

He gulped as the implications of that questions set fire to his privates. “Whenever you want.”

“I think…” She paused to take a breath. “I think we can go after one more dance. Then we can vamoose.”

“Fine with me.” More than fine. He’d been keeping the heat down to a simmer because dragging her out of there right after dessert wouldn’t have been the gentlemanly thing to do. Instead he’d waited for her to decide. She just had.

She gazed up at him. “Whaddya know? It’s my favorite song.”

“Amarillo by Morning is your favorite song?”

Snuggling against him, she gazed into his eyes. “It is tonight.”
