CHAPTER FOURTEEN

I did something the next morning that I don’t think I’d done since college. I called in sick. After waking up to find Annie curled around me, I knew that there was no way that I was going to leave her to go in to the office.

We lounged in bed until midmorning, kissing and touching and exploring each other’s body as if neither of us had ever been with another woman. Our kisses were slow. Delicate and delicious.

“If I had known this would be so good, I wouldn’t have waited so long to seduce you.” Annie murmured the words against my ear as the softness of her body pressed down into mine.

“You seduced me?” I placed my hands on her shoulders and pushed her away playfully. I’d taken the pins from her hair early the night before, and now the heavy curls created a sheet of darkness against the bright sunlight that shone in the room.

Now she rolled to her back and I followed, lying beside her and propping my head up in one hand.

“I had to,” she shrugged. “You were taking so much sweet time that I figured you’d never get around to doing it.” She was grinning. “I had no idea you were so shy.”

“I’m not so shy anymore.” I grinned.

“No, you’re not,” she agreed. Her smile grew more serious as she lifted a finger and traced around my mouth. “I can’t tell you how badly I wanted this to happen.”

“Really? When did you decide all of this?”

She didn’t have to think about her reply. “The night at your parents’ house, during the auction. I’d always thought you were attractive before that. But you’d been my adversary on so many occasions.” She pinched my backside gently for emphasis, making me grin. “But that night I knew that I could really grow to care for you if I had the chance.” She was tracing my collarbone with one finger. “What about you?”

I smiled, remembering. “I’m not sure, exactly. But Beth knew I was attracted to you long before I was willing to admit it.”

“Beth?” Annie seemed surprised.

I nodded. “She was the one that kept pushing me toward you.”

“Really?” Annie was grinning. “Remind me to thank her.”

“I will. But I don’t know if I can take her saying I told you so.”

We both heard rumbling from the floor below, and we picked up our heads. It took me a moment to recognize the sounds. “Oh my god. The construction crew. So much for taking the day off.”

Annie just laughed and glanced at the bedside clock. “I should probably get into the shop anyway,” she sighed. “Why don’t you come with me? I could use your help with a few things. You could help me move a few things around and create some new displays.”

The thought actually sounded fun. “You just want me for my brute strength,” I teased.

Annie gave me a smoldering look. “If that’s all I wanted you for, honey, I’d hire me some big burly men. I have many other plans for you in mind.
