Chapter Eleven

Dear Diary, I love to hear his voice!

In the interest of heart-preservation, Maddie had made sure Zach knew theirs was nothing more than a simple affair. Hot and heavy though it might be, it could end at any minute—of that she was sure. She disregarded her tightening chest and the thought that one day soon, the time would come when she would no longer smell Zach’s scent on her pillows, enjoy the press of his body against hers.

No longer delight in his kisses.

Maddie hadn’t fooled herself into thinking this was anything lasting. She had her eyes open and her brain switched on. When Zach was ready to end it, she would wave him off and cherish the memories from their time together.

But it wasn’t over yet, and she had several bags of sexy new underwear to try out on him.

Rain pelted down on her car as she pulled onto the wet driveway in front of her house, pressed the button on the remote control to open her garage, and drove her SLK out of the summer storm, which had begun late afternoon. She cut the engine just as thunder rolled—deep and growly—letting her know the storm wasn’t going anywhere soon.

Her mobile jingled, startling her, and she hunted in her bag for the sparkly pink-covered object. Several items flew out of her tote in the process. Clasping the mobile, she pulled it out. A glance at caller ID put a smile on her face.

“Hi, Zach.” One-handed, she scooped up the things she’d pulled out while searching for the phone, and placed them back into her oversized coral tote.

“Hi, gorgeous, I’ve been thinking about you all day.”

Her stomach dipped. She paused with her slim line diary and a lipstick in her hand on its way to her tote. Were she and Zach moving too fast?

“Um ... I’ve been thinking about you, too.” Her phone beeped a low battery warning.

“Really? What were you thinking?” She heard the smile in his voice. Pictured the wicked twinkle in his blue eyes, and found herself relaxing despite the heavy rainstorm threatening her peace of mind.

“I’ll tell you later.”

“Tease.” His light chuckle warmed all her chilly places. “I called to warn you that I got stuck in a meeting in Colchester and won’t make it back home until late ... very late. Can I still come over?”

Almost two hours away. It was going to be ages before she saw him. “Let me think.”

“Maddison.”

She laughed, loving the joviality between them. “Of course. What time do you guess you’d be here?”

“I’m not sure. Just a sec, Mad.” His voice came again, but the distance told Maddie he’d taken the phone from his ear, that he was speaking to someone else. “No ... no ...” Because of his phone’s ability to cut out background noise, Maddie couldn’t hear much beyond Zach’s low sexy rumble. “Hey, Mad?” His voice came again clear into her ear.

“I’m still here.”

“Sorry about that. I’ll be there as soon as I get this thing wrapped.” He dropped his voice to just above a whisper, what she decided was his bedroom voice.
