Chapter Ten

Colby glanced at her future conquest from the passenger side of his truck. The neon light from LeJeune’s bakery illuminated Jason’s abnormally rigid jaw, reminding her he’d barely said two words since they’d left his parents’ house. And they hadn’t really had a chance to talk much before then, either. Every time Colby had felt remotely brave enough to bring up kicking off their summer fling tonight, there had been an adolescent or parental ear around, ready to overhear her pitiful attempts at flirtation. Not exactly the start she’d envisioned for her sexy night of seduction.

But now they were alone. Thoughts of what could lie ahead sent the heat inside the already toasty truck skyrocketing. I can do this. So he hadn’t brought it up since the night of the camping trip. She could take the bull by the horns, so to speak. Women did this sort of thing every day, right? The whole ‘equal opportunity, female empowerment, we are women hear us roar’ jazz. She leaned her face into the stream of cool air coming from the vent. Sadly, right now she felt less like the siren she needed to be, and closer to throwing up.

Why was she so nervous? She even had a ringing endorsement from above. When it came time for her to leave and her cute, unreliable car had sputtered, groaned, and then died a horrible death, she’d figured it had to be a divine blessing on her plans. The unexpected vehicular demise required Jason to bring her home after all. Granted, the nuns in Sunday school had always given the impression that booty calls were frowned upon; but perhaps, in this case, heaven had made an exception for the pathetic.

Jason drummed an erratic beat on the steering wheel, matching the thrum of her nerves. His grumpy look wasn’t helping. But as her little sister always said, sometimes you have to fake it to make it. And in this case, Colby definitely wanted to make it. So, after another block of silence, she manned up, poured on the bravado, and asked, “You okay there, Captain?”

The brief smile he shot her was more like it. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Thank God, because the bad mood vibe so wasn’t cutting it as an aphrodisiac.

Then he added, “It’s just been a long day. Guess I’m more tired than I thought.” And the knotted muscles in Colby’s stomach clenched back up again.

An exhausted seductee didn’t really scream let’s get it on, either.

But one doesn’t become the owner of a popular, thriving restaurant in Vegas by letting a little complication get in her way. Grabbing hold of her deflating hopes for the evening, Colby scooted as close to Jason as the dang seat belt would allow and called upon every ounce of dormant vixen power she had.

“You sure that’s all it is?” she purred, or rather, attempted to purr in his ear. No one in her right mind would actually call the strange, breathy rumble that came out of her mouth a purr.
