Jake had done some truly asinine things in his life. He’d done a lot without thinking of the consequences. This one rated right up there at the top. Funny. He didn’t give a shit. He was doing it anyway.

Annie looked too wild and hot in that little black dress and those sexy high heels to have to suffer through a boring date with Bo Jennings. If she wanted to have a little fun, he’d be happy to give it to her.

As a friend.

That’s all.

As he climbed up into the driver’s seat, he could feel the heat of her glare. He turned his head and almost laughed. The whole pissed-off thing she had going on was completely ruined by the mirth playing at the corners of her luscious mouth.

“You can’t just kidnap me. I’m on a date. That’s not very nice to Bo. He made a real effort to do something romantic. He even bought me flowers. Which, by the way, are still sitting on the table.”

“Annie? I don’t really give a shit about Bo. And if you want flowers, I’ll buy you flowers. But when I walked into that restaurant and saw the misery on your face, not to mention that you were slugging down a good amount of wine—which you never drink—well, I knew I couldn’t just stand by and let you suffer. I’ve only got your best interest at heart.”

“My best interest? Ha. That’s what you said the other day when you told me there could never be anything between us.”

“It’s the truth, Annie. And you know it.”

“Yet here you are butting your nose into my business. Thinking you know what I want or what I need. Maybe I was having a good time. Maybe what you describe as misery was really keen interest in what Bo was saying. Maybe I discovered I like wine.”

“You can lie to me, Annie, but you can’t lie to yourself.”

“You’re a jackass, Jake.” She huffed. “A bona fide one hundred percent jackass who makes no sense at all. Especially when your lips are moving.”

He couldn’t help but smile. He loved the way she got all fired up and feisty. “So what you’re saying is, I don’t explain myself very well.”

“Amongst other things.”

“Huh.” He laughed when she narrowed her eyes. “Maybe we should discuss this over a cold Shiner.”

“Maybe I should just give you a shiner.”

Another laugh rumbled in his chest. “You’re a pistol, Annie.” He turned the key in the ignition.

“Wait!” She turned to look back at the restaurant. “What about Bo?”

“I figure in about five more minutes, he’ll get the clue that you aren’t coming back.”

“You can’t just leave him in there waiting for me.”

“Sure I can.”

“That is so rude.”

“Annabelle. You can hardly call it kidnapping if you tell someone who you took and where you’re going.”

She folded her arms across that hot little black dress and refused to look at him.

“Fine.” He groaned.

She still didn’t give him as much as a glance as he got out of the truck and went back into the restaurant.
