EIGHT

Later that night, Gage picked up a bottle of cachaça, some limes and a bag of brown sugar, just in case Cass didn’t have any on hand. Caipirinhas were a far sight more tolerable than margaritas, and women usually loved the way he made them. Plus the drink was about 85 percent alcohol, which gave a nice buzz but, because cachaça was distilled from sugarcane, the next morning didn’t come with a busting headache.

On his way to Cass’s house, Gage dropped Arwen off at a doggie daycare. With that heartbreaking task out of the way, he drove to Cass’s house. She was worth a furious vizsla and the probability of an additional fee upon pickup after Arwen drove everyone at the daycare to the brink of insanity.

Cass opened the door, barefoot and clad in shorts that showed a mile of leg, thank the good Lord, and a fitted T-shirt that most women couldn’t have done justice. On Cass, it was legendary. She’d twisted her hair up in a messy waterfall of a hairdo that was somehow more suggestive than the chopsticks.

His mouth went dry.

“Hey,” she said, opening the door wider, which lifted the hem of her T-shirt just a flash, revealing a slice of bare stomach. “Hope casual is okay. I thought low-key might help us get some work accomplished tonight.”

Yeah, no. She needed a better mirror if she thought that what she had on was supposed to provide some kind of Gage repellant. Her toes were hot pink, for crying out loud, which drew his attention to her bare feet again and again.

“Oh, good,” he said when he could speak. “I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off you. Whew.”

He mimed wiping his brow in relief and she shot him a sunny smile that heightened the flame inside his gut.

She motioned him inside and called over her shoulder. “Should we start on the paperwork first, then? Maybe later we can have a drink and relax.”

Seriously?

“That was sarcasm,” he said bluntly as he blew over the threshold, shutting the door behind him with a loud bang.

She whirled, clearly startled by the sudden noise, and smacked into his chest. Right where he wanted her. He set down his bag of goodies—caipirinhas had totally lost his interest.

“If you wanted me to keep my hands off you,” he growled, hauling her into his arms. “A better plan would have been to move to Timbuktu.”

He hustled her backward, against the wall, and shoved a thigh between her legs. Hard and high. She gasped, a throaty sound that crawled inside him and lit the fuse of a row of fireworks residing in his groin, threatening to explode without notice.

“In case you’re not clear on this,” he continued, nipping at her ear as he leaned in. The full body contact sang through him. “I want you. Now. Not later.”

Her nipples pebbled against his chest as he rolled his hips to fit more snuggly against hers. Those shorts were made of much thinner fabric than he’d guessed and her heat engulfed his steel-hard lower half.
