Chapter Eleven

Spencer was scrolling through the channel guide on TV when his phone beeped with a new text message from Kenzie.

Is Dani still awake?

No, he immediately replied. She finally crashed about half an hour ago.

Then he asked, Are you home from your date?

No.

Then why are you texting me?

Because I’m standing outside your apartment.

His only reply to that was to open the door.

She unbuttoned her coat as she stepped over the threshold, then shrugged it off and tossed it over the arm of the sofa.

His eyes nearly popped out of his head and his jaw hit the floor.

She was wearing a dress the color of ripe eggplant, with long sleeves and a very short skirt. In between, the fabric hugged her curves like a lover’s hands, and below the hem of that short skirt—wow.

How had he never noticed that she had such great legs?

Maybe because he couldn’t ever remember seeing her in a dress before. And it irked him to know that she’d put on that dress to go out for dinner with another man.

His irritation was slightly tempered by the realization that she wasn’t with any other man now. Instead, she was here with him—and with fury and frustration rolling off her in waves.

“Are you here to yell at me in person?” he asked, a little warily.

She shook her head, and the big, loose curls she’d put in her hair swayed with the motion. Her soft gray eyes were enhanced by smoky shadow on the lids and mascara on her lashes. Her lips were naturally pink, sweet and tempting.

He scowled. Fancy hair. Fancy dress. Fancy shoes that added enough inches to her height that her mouth was almost level with his own. Which was probably something he shouldn’t be thinking about now, because she hadn’t gone to all this effort for him. No, she’d done it for some guy whose name she wouldn’t even tell him. Apparently someone who really mattered to her.

He felt a slight twinge of guilt, considering that he might have spoiled her evening with his playful text messages. But only a slight twinge, because if she really hadn’t wanted to be disturbed, she could have silenced her phone and ignored the messages.

And then even that twinge was gone, as he acknowledged that even if he had messed up her night, he wasn’t sorry. Because he didn’t want her hooking up with some guy—unless that guy was him.

But he probably did owe her an apology of sorts. Or at least an explanation.

“I can understand why you might be upset,” he began, “but—”

“Just shut up for a minute.”

Not only angry, he realized, but frustrated and...something else he couldn’t quite pinpoint.

“I’m trying to expl—”

Since he apparently wouldn’t obey her instructions, she shut him up by pressing her mouth to his.

He’d spent a fair amount of time perfecting his moves over the years—and he knew that he had some pretty good ones. He also liked to be the one to make the moves and considered pushy women to be a major turnoff.
