Chapter Six

Orlando refused help with unloading the car and sent Regan inside the house. The rain that eluded the city the majority of the summer finally materialized coming in the form of severe thunderstorms. He kicked the backdoor shut with his foot dumping the rolls of wallpaper on the floor.

Regan began to unpack grocery bags on the newly installed granite kitchen counter. “What you got there?” He asked peeking over her shoulder.

“I have cheese, crackers, and fruit for snacking,” she said lifting containers from a bag. “And, shrimp etouffee that I purchased from this gourmet market not far from here. I will heat it when we are ready to eat. I made it home from the store before the storm.”

“Good thing you did. Anyhow, what you have sounds a lot better than the take-out food I was going to order. I have coupons for pizza,” he teased.

“Dinner is on me tonight, handsome,” she said opening the fridge putting the containers inside to stay fresh.

Orlando’s ego swelled along with the bulge in his pants. Regan was treading on dangerous water by using sexy terms of endearment with him. Every syllable rolled off her tongue with a buttery flow stroking the naughty areas of his mind. He may have carried himself gentlemanly in her presence, but he was a man with needs that were overpowering his urge to stay celibate. Even in the oversized t-shirt with Big Bird pasted down the front, Regan was getting him hot under the collar.

He licked his lips. His mouth salivated watching her hips shift with the movement of her legs. Her luscious behind screamed touch me in his head. He fought the urge to take a cell phone picture to use privately later.

The rain beat hard against the window breaking his absorption of Regan. He had promised Anthony to move things along with Regan and he was. After his altercation with Maggie, he could not get Regan off his mind. When she called to confirm if he was still coming over, he reacted as a teenage boy looking forward to his first date. It was her call that made him realize he was losing the battle with himself. He had fallen hard for Regan.

Although, he did not know where he stood with her since the night of her birthday party, he had noticed her flirtatious nature had calmed dramatically. She had not mentioned the date with Jon’s brother or being with any other man, but her content nature when they were together could mean she accepted him only as a friend and gave up on wanting anything else.

Working himself into a dander, Orlando gathered the rolls of wallpaper and glue and went into the living room. With the renovations to the house almost done, he would not have a reason to hang out at her place on his days off.

Since renting the house to her, he had been there fixing something or helping her arrange furniture. The only rooms she had completely furnished were the bedroom and kitchen.
