Chapter 8

Trey rushed to the kitchen, adjusting himself when he was out of Lita’s sight. Damn, that woman was fine. And how the hell did she manage to be even more beautiful dressed in a plain, fitted tank top and a pair of black shorts, her face scrubbed completely free of makeup?

He’d always thought of makeup as being something women wore to enhance their beauty and camouflage perceived flaws. Maybe that was why Lita wore it too. But the woman, who already looked damn good for her age, appeared even younger with a freshly scrubbed face. Had he encountered her like this, he would’ve passed, assuming she was too young for his taste.

Trey remembered how much his sister had hated it when people had said she and their mother could be sisters. Their mother would giggle, and his sister Tia, who was eleven years his junior, would scowl. There were few things his sister hated more. So he’d be sure not to tell Meeka that she and Lita could pass for sisters—even if it was true.

He washed his hands at the sink and took a deep breath. Trey reminded himself of all the reasons he shouldn’t kiss Lita Woods, take her to his bed, and make love to her.

Because no matter how attracted he was to this woman—and he was insanely attracted to her—she was the mother of his future daughter-in-law. And Lita was right; the two of them hooking up would only make the situation messier.

Relationships were complicated enough on their own. Interconnected relationships were the worst. He’d seen it up close and personal. His two older brothers, who were twins, had married women who were cousins as close as sisters. As things had gone up and down in one relationship, it had impacted how things had gone in the other. It’d been an ugly ten-year saga in their family. One he wasn’t trying to repeat.

Besides, he wasn’t looking for a relationship. He’d been just fine dating casually for the past few years. He was fifty years old, and yet he’d only lived alone for three of those years, during which his youngest son had gone off to college.

So while it was nice to have some company at the house again, it didn’t mean he was ready for anything more than that.

And a casual hookup with the woman who was going to be his grandchild’s maternal grandmother? Building bombs in his garage would be a safer bet.

Trey sucked in a deep breath and muttered under his breath, “Just keep it together, man.”

“Keep what together?” Lita asked as she entered the kitchen, Neeko on her heels.

Damn that woman’s thick, toned thighs were made for a pair of shorts. And what the hell had she slathered all over her skin? Some kind of honeysuckle-scented oil? “Uh…nothing. I was just thinking about…nothing.” Trey dried his hands and smiled, hoping he didn’t come off as a blathering fool. “Ribs, chicken, or pork chop?”

“Ooh…let’s start with the ribs and see where it goes from there.
