Chapter 5

Edward glared at the door, wishing he could get this task over with more quickly. He was standing in front of Jessica’s door, hesitating to knock. He had scheduled lunch with her and now he regretted the decision. They would have to get married, he thought. A week ago, he would have been horrified at the idea of marrying someone like Jessica with all of her flightiness and disregard for tradition.

Now, the idea of having her in his life, of waking up to her soft, incredible body every morning, of seeing her smile at him as he walked into the house at night, the idea made him feel….more than good, he acknowledged. Yes, Jessica was the woman he was going to marry.

So why did he feel so guilty about the whole situation?

Because he’d been an ass last night. He should have avoided her. He never should have kissed her. Or argued with her. But seeing her in another man’s arms had made him more than a little crazy with jealousy.

He’d never been jealous before. He’d been in relationships and they’d ended without bad feelings from either party. At least, he didn’t think any of his previous relationships had been emotionally invested in him. He dismissed the idea as ludicrous because they simply hadn’t been those kinds of women. In the past, he had entered into relationships with women only with the understanding that it was not a commitment, that either party could leave any time without hard feelings.

He smiled as he thought about Jessica’s anger with him over her dress last night. Yes, Jessica was emotional, but he found that he liked that about her. He thought it was cute and her anger turned him on. Hell, everything about her turned him on, he thought.

Facing her for lunch was probably a good idea. They could talk, discuss the wedding plans and get things moving in the right direction. She’d have to concede, he thought. Last night he’d taken her virginity and it was now the time to do things correctly. Marriage first, sex later, he told himself.

He never cowered from his responsibilities so why was he not knocking on the woman’s door instead of bracing himself to see her? Because he wasn’t sure what she’d thought about last night, he told himself. She was mercurial to say the least and he wasn’t sure what to think, what to expect.

Which was definitely part of her allure, he thought with a slight smile.

He was being ridiculous, he told himself and forced his hand to reach up and knock. It was instantly opened and Edward glared down at a smiling face, Jessica’s chocolate brown eyes ignoring his anger as she pulled on a sweater due to the cooler weather today.

“All ready,” she said and stepped around him.

Edward turned and watched her bounce down the stairs, his eyes hungrily taking in her sexy figure in the tight jeans that hugged her round derriere and long legs. The leather boots came up over her calves, ending just above her knees in the front and made her legs look even longer somehow.
