WHAT DID ONE WEAR when meeting a man’s mother? Especially the mother of a man with bedroom eyes?

Cori had a few dresses to choose from, but she didn’t want to overdress for the occasion. Since Ben tended to believe a doctor’s attire consisted of jeans and T-shirts, she told herself she wouldn’t have to worry.

In the end, she chose a pair of bright pink linen tailored pants and topped them with a dark blue V-necked weskit. Her chunky-style beaded choker and dangling earrings echoed the same two colors.

“You have a thing about bright colors, don’t you?” Ben commented when he stopped by to pick her up, looking devastating in tan jeans and a cream-colored button-down shirt with the cuffs rolled back.

She looked down at her outfit, suddenly worried. “Is it too loud for your mother?”

He chuckled, shaking his head. “No, I wouldn’t worry about that.”

Ben helped her into the truck, but didn’t close the door. He kept one hand on the door, the other flat on the top. “Looking at you brightens up a day,” he said softly, just before he dipped his head and captured her mouth with his. His tongue traced the soft seam of her lips before delving inside. Cori was allowed only a brief taste before he lifted his head and looked down at her, noting her flushed features and glowing eyes.

“If we weren’t expected at my mom’s...” he murmured, running his thumb across her moist lower lip.

“Let’s not think about that.” She hastily turned around and fumbled for her seat belt. It didn’t help when she realized she had two of the same. She dropped the driver’s belt and hunted around for her own.

“Having a problem, Miss Peyton?” he asked silkily as he climbed in behind the wheel.

“Not at all, Dr. Cooper,” she replied in an equally silky tone. “Why don’t you tell me about your mother?”

“Ah, the change-the-subject ploy so I’ll forget about that kiss.”

“No, I call it the change-the-subject ploy so I won’t think about the kiss,” she muttered, staring out the windshield.

Ben didn’t hide his triumphant grin as he started up the engine. “It’s nice to know I’m so unforgettable,” he murmured, guiding the truck up the driveway.

“Doesn’t your mother live in town?” Cori asked as Ben drove toward the outskirts.

He shook his head. “No, she said she always preferred living away from the general populace. My brother-in-law took over running the family farm and my mom said the best way not to turn into an interfering mother-in-law was to have her own place. Mama had a house built on the edge of the property where she’s close enough for baby-sitting and the grandkids to visit her, but far enough away to have her privacy.”

Cori thought of the Italian matriarchs she’d seen in movies—always laughing, bodies like large soft pillows and eager to mother anyone who came along. For someone who lost her mother at a young age, the idea was appealing.

“What did you tell her about me?” she asked Ben.
