Chapter Nineteen

Their drive home vibrated with silent promises. The need to get naked and continue had them both breathing heavy enough that the windows were fogging over.

Of course, the windows weren’t the only things fogged over. Jack’s heart was, and he was reeling. Somehow, without meaning to, he’d allowed himself to let his walls down around Adie. The way she was honest, even when it didn’t benefit her. But her words about love, the words she wanted him to say to Debbie to convince her of his and Adeline’s relationship, hit him like a stomach punch by a heavy weight boxer. They had a ring of truth to them.

Love’s funny. It just hits you out of the blue, and you jump in with both feet hoping like hell you remember to swim when you hit the water.

He had broken his own rule. He opened his heart to a woman. Sure, Adie seemed like someone he could trust. But so had his ex. He usually compartmentalized so efficiently, and perhaps that was the problem. Adie didn’t fit into any of the careful labels he assigned.

How had he not realized Adeline Rigby was finding a way around his barriers? He should have noticed it. She was all he thought about when he’d been gone. Hell, she’d been all he’d thought about since running into her at Kin’s book signing.

Now what? His plan to tell her he wanted to date for real suddenly didn’t seem like a fine idea. That plan had been launched when he was still cocky enough to think he could keep his heart out of all dating equations.

And if he couldn’t keep his heart out of the way, they could end up with a messy ending. Something he didn’t want for either of them. He wanted both of them to walk away thinking to themselves—damn, that was a good time. Not, damn she broke my heart. And damn, why did he go and get all mushy.

Hell, she was moving out of the country as soon as Paris worked out. Not someone he should be considering as the woman who could fix his battered heart.

They stepped into his condo side-by-side. Pausing to sanitize their hands, kick off their shoes, and scratch Dexter under the chin.

Adeline turned and stared at him, her eyes a beautiful shade of blue.

He reminded himself to remember what shade of blue they were after they had sex. He did have a ring to buy, and he needed to be sure and get the right color of blue diamond. Did blue diamonds even exist?

He shrugged out of his jacket and threw it on her pink chair. “Let’s forget about the baggage we both have and just be together in the moment.”

Adeline bit her lower lip. “For tonight?”

He pulled off his tie and tossed it over the back of the chair. “For tonight.” He’d worry about tomorrow night, tomorrow.

Adeline reached behind and unzipped her dress. “We’re breaking a rule. A rule we have for a reason.”

His dick, already hard, grew another three inches.
