Chapter Eight

The neighborhood was so upscale, Molly expected to see movie stars cruising the streets in Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce cars. She almost felt embarrassed driving her old, faded blue Honda down the palmlined street.

She checked the numbers once more and pulled into the gated driveway of a sprawling house that had to have been built back in the 1800s. It could use a bit of a face lift, but it had character. Beautiful, exciting character.

She’d had to snoop in his personnel files to find the address. His application was downright sketchy, containing little more than a street address and a phone number.

Funny how she just now realized that she’d never been to Jason’s house the summer they spent together, the summer they’d loved so completely.

Getting out of the car, she shook out the folds of her dress and took a deep breath. She’d dressed with care…to seduce. For that, she’d chosen feminine rather than vampy. The scoop neck showed just the right amount of cleavage and drew attention to her heart necklace. A rosebud print in soft yellows and blues, the fabric was incredibly soft and invited touch.

And she intended to invite Adam’s touch at every opportunity.

Grabbing the pizza box and her satchel of papers to grade, she climbed the steps of the front porch and rang the bell.

He must have been watching for her. The door opened immediately.

And Molly simply stood there and stared. His navy pin-striped suit fit him to a tee, emphasizing his broad shoulders. A stark white shirt complemented his tanned skin and dark hair. The collar button was undone, his striped tie loosened, the knot pulled down, as if he’d changed his mind about the formality but had been caught before his decision could be reversed.

“You look—” she had to clear her throat “—very handsome.”

He took the pizza box from her, unsmiling. There would be barriers to cross this night. His brooding expression told her so.

“You’ve seen me in a suit before.”

“Yes. I just didn’t expect it tonight. Here.”

He turned and headed for the parlor. “I smelled like tire rubber. And I had an appointment.”

With whom? she nearly asked. Destiny? Me?

The way he’d evaded her eyes told her he hadn’t really had an appointment. She wondered if he’d worn the suit as armor. Jason hadn’t worn suits. Did he hope that the clothes and the face would camouflage a connection so strong it fairly screamed?

If so, she’d be glad to tell him he was deluding himself.

He glanced back at her, and Molly reminded herself of her vow to speak her thoughts before he could read them.

“So, do we eat first, or do I get to take a tour of this great old house?”

“There’s not much to see.”

“Oh, come on. You might take possessions for granted, but this is a treat for me. I told you I’ve been dying to tour the homes in this area.”

His eyes kept straying to her neckline, where the heart charm flirted with her boosted breasts. Wonderbras weren’t just for small-busted women.
