Hope

A few drinks with the girls was just what I needed after a long, seemingly endless week of tasks. Whether it was Big Mama’s list of things that needed to be done at the diner, a list of items to help me get things ready for the lingerie launch, or problems at the community theater, my schedule was full. Jam packed, some might have said, and that was just how I liked it. Distractions got a bad reputation, but they were excellent at keeping you focused on something else when you really wanted to focus on something that would only bring you heartache.

Slightly tipsy and fresh from the shower, I slipped into one of my newest creations: a one-piece rose-colored silk sleep suit. It was slinky and sexy but perfectly acceptable even if you were sleeping alone, which I currently was. Curled up on the pillow-covered glider with my sketchpad though, none of that seemed to matter. Not my misguided feelings for Will and not the lust that bubbled up inside of me whenever he was around. Instead, I let the cool night breeze dance over my skin while I worked on a drawing for another idea of mine for a line of racy sleepwear. The kind of silky, lacy things that were created to tease and then be stripped off.

There was a reason work was the perfect distraction from life’s worries; the scratch of my pencil against the roughened sheet of paper soothed me in a way nothing else did. The flick of my wrist producing small lines that, eventually, would become a full-on design was the best stress reliever. Second best.

“I guess it’s a good thing I mean you no harm since I’ve been standing here watching you for two minutes.” I looked up at the sound of Will’s deep voice just in time to see him cast a useless glance at his bare wrist. “Three minutes.”

I rolled my eyes even as my body began to respond to his proximity, which I’d left Black Thumb to get away from. The man had a way of screwing with my equilibrium, especially when his gray gaze darkened and raked over my body. I wished like hell I couldn’t feel the way my nipples hardened beneath the silk. I wished even harder that Will couldn’t see the evidence of what that look did to me. “What are you doing here, Will? I’m not in the mood for a booty call.” That was a lie. I was always in the mood where this man was concerned, which made the lie more than necessary. It was survival.

“That kiss at the bar said otherwise.” I should have known that was why he showed up. Not because he realized he couldn’t live without me, or even that he realized I was a flesh and blood woman with needs beyond the sensual. But no. He’d come because that kiss had him believing nothing had changed.

“Yeah, well, that kiss was hours ago. I’m sober and thinking straight now.
