Chapter 13

• ---------------------------- •

Scarlet glanced at Burke from her seat and felt heat coil in her belly. She had never been one to follow whims when it came to attraction, but with Burke it was different. Her whole life she had a perception of who and what Burke Birkowitz was, and had crushed on him anyway. Now that she knew that he had more intriguing facets than his cocky attitude, she was captivated.

He was distracted as he navigated through town while the girls in the back seat explained where they lived. Scarlet used the opportunity to let her gaze explore the curves of his face. His skin was tanned, another reminder that he wasn’t from here anymore, he lived on the other side of the country and she had no business wanting him.

But his eyes fascinated her. The light blue irises guarded by thick black lashes were the windows to Burke’s soul, but why did she have a feeling he kept the drapes drawn? His jawline was dusted with light stubble and the column of his throat looked good enough to eat.

Scarlet quickly turned her gaze back to the dark road in front of them. In White Horse Creek only the Main Road had streetlights, the rest of the town was dark, almost eerie at night. Her heart was racing in her chest when she realized he glanced at her too. The close proximity of being in a car with him had her skin alive with awareness.

Being tipsy around a man like Burke was a very bad idea; Scarlet realized when their last passenger waved before heading into her home. He turned to her with a cocked brow and charming grin.

“Care to direct me to your castle, my lady?”

He was taunting her, but Scarlet still smiled back. “Same place as always. When my parents decided to retire in Vegas they allowed me to stay in the house.”

“Vegas?” Burke asked, surprised as he took the next turn before glancing at her again. “They become dancers or gamblers in their old age?”

Scarlet giggled at the mental image that had summoned of her conservative parents. “No, they joined a congregation that does a lot of out-reaches down there - because of the trouble caused by the dancers and gamblers.”

Burke flinched. “Oops, sorry. I forgot Mr. Miller was about the most conservative guy I remember from back then.”

“Yup, that’s daddy dear.” Scarlet pointed to her house a few houses up the road. “That’s me.”

Burke turned into the drive behind her light blue hatchback before turning to her. “Thanks for tonight, Scarlet, Alice is lucky to have a friend like you.”

Scarlet smiled as she climbed out of the car. She vaguely heard what Burke said, but she couldn’t seem to drag her gaze from his mouth as he spoke. When Burke climbed out of the car and walked her to the door her heart began to race. He hadn’t walked anyone else to the door.

Why her?

A small voice in the back of her mind taunted her; why him?

She slipped her key into the lock and turned to Burke.
