Chapter Thirteen

“You win.” Brad had a tough time acting like he wasn’t three strokes from coming in his pants. Seeing Avery in those sexy glasses, jeans, and a staid button-up blouse shouldn’t have been so arousing. But it was. Then she laughed, and her joy with life made her that much prettier. He’d never in his life admit it to the guys, but what really turned him on with a woman was her laugh.

The face and body didn’t hurt, obviously, but a woman’s personality drew him in more than anything else did. A total blow to his claim about being a breast man. Although Avery had nothing to complain about in the curves department. They fit perfectly in his hands and even better in his mouth…

He shifted in his seat.

Avery winked and sat back, and he imagined her purring with satisfaction.

“So why didn’t you text me before I texted you today?” he asked. He’d waited for her to call him and, when she hadn’t, decided to take charge.

She lost her smugness. “You’d said you just wanted a one-time deal.”

“But what did you want? Or did you just agree with me because I spoke first?” He genuinely wanted to know. He’d previously blurted a need to forget about their coupling out of fear. But why had she agreed so readily?

“I, ah, don’t know.” She fiddled with her glasses. “I had no intention of doing what we did. It happened fast.”

“I said I was sorry about that.”

She flushed. “No, no. I meant we kind of went from talking to kissing in a heartbeat. You—you were just fine.”

“Oh.” Now he felt awkward. “Wait. Just fine? More like incredible with a stamina that never quit once I got used to how hot you make me.”

Her pink cheeks were adorable. “Yes, yes. You were amazing. Happy now?”

He’d be a lot happier if she’d sit on him and start moving up and down. Real slow.

“Yep.” He nudged the last cookie at her, and she broke it in half. He took his piece and chewed, wondering what it was about Avery that made him both hard and happy. He’d had an emotional weekend, had even thought about canceling their coffee date today. Yet as soon as he’d seen her, everything settled, and he couldn’t wait to get closer.

“Geez, Brad. Stop looking at me that way.” She ate her half of the giant cookie in two bites and now resembled a chipmunk storing nuts for the winter.

“I can get more if you’re still hungry,” he managed without laughing.

She swallowed—oh yes, he looked forward to seeing if she was indeed still a good girl—and took a loud slurp of coffee. “You stress me out,” she admitted.

“Me?”

“Yes, you.” She lowered her voice. “After Friday happened, I had no idea what to make of it. I’m not a one-night—”

“One morning.”

“—kind of person,” she ended with a frown. “I don’t do what we did.”

“Me neither. I know people think most single firefighters are dogs, but we’re not all like that. Well, Tex kind of is, but he’s got a good heart.
