“Are you out of your ever-loving mind?” Matt inwardly cursed as he stood in Evelyn’s bedroom the next evening, watching her select her outfit for her so-called date. “You can’t possibly go out with that dickhead.”

How had things gone so wrong? Yesterday, he was sure he had her—hook, line and sinker. That falling in love comment had all but cinched the deal. But today, she was bent set on going out with that loser, Todd. It made absolutely no sense.

“I can and I will.” She rifled through her drab wardrobe with steel determination. “Oh, and I would really appreciate it if you stopped insulting the man.”

Matt felt the red hot singe of jealousy upon hearing her defend the jerk.

Damn. Had he been stupid enough to get caught in his own trap? When had pretense ended and reality squeezed in? What did he care who Evelyn dated apart from the fact that if he failed to win her love, eternal damnation most likely awaited him?

He thought back to last night. When he’d alluded to having fallen in love, the words hadn’t felt like a lie. Why was that?

With a shake of his head, he pushed his disturbing musings aside, refocusing his attention on something safer and far more entertaining—the appraisal of her wardrobe.

With a thoughtful hmm, Evelyn was currently evaluating a dress his grandmother wouldn’t be caught dead in. It was gray and shapeless, with as much sex appeal as control-top underwear. He cocked a brow and grinned wryly. “Perfect,” he said. “Todd will love it.”

She wrinkled her nose and promptly placed it back in the closet. Biting her lower lip, she pulled out a pair of black slacks and a lime-green polo.

“Didn’t realize he was taking you golfing in the dead of winter. The good news is you can always club the horny bastard if he gets out of line.”

She pierced him with an icy, not-the-least-bit-amused stare. “Do you mind?”

A wayward curl fell to brush her cheek, and she flicked it away with a frustrated wave of her hand. She’d been wearing her hair down since he’d told her he liked it better that way. That had to mean something.

The russet-streaked strands caught the light as they cascaded down her back in a thick, sinful web. Matt edged in closer, his fingers itching to clasp one of those wicked locks. Her hair would be soft, like silk. He could tell just by looking at it. The mere sight of those untamed curls made his body prickle uncomfortably, until he could feel his essence changing, feel mist thickening into mass and energy converting to flesh. He lifted his hand, stunned to realize he couldn’t see through it. The woman did strange things to him. Things he’d never before experienced or could ever begin to comprehend.

And that both enticed and frightened the crap out of him.

Decisively, she yanked a black skirt and a pink blouse from their hangers and swiveled on her heels. Unaware that Matt stood directly behind her, she plowed into him.
