Chapter 15

Piper dropped her paintbrush and palette on the table, knocking over a cup of dirty water as she raced across the room to grab her ringing phone. It was probably just a stupid telemarketer, but she couldn’t help it — she was desperate for some excitement.

She was home by herself, making unnecessary touchups to her latest painting for lack of anything better to do, and seriously contemplating going to bed at 10pm, just to end the boredom.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the name on the caller ID. This night might have some promise after all! She pushed the green button and dashed back over to clean up the spill.

“Hey Houston, how’s it going?” She tried to sound casual but it was hard since she was breathing like she’d just run a marathon. She grabbed a rag and started sopping up the spilled water.

“Hey Piper. I’m sure you probably already have plans, but if not, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.”

She should have plans. It was Saturday night, and she was young, single, and decently attractive, or at least she thought so. But she couldn’t remember the last time she’d done anything really fun. What happened to the wild and fun-loving Piper who used to go out drinking and partying on Saturdays with a bunch of friends?

Ever since she moved back to Modesa and took a job at the middle school, she’d turned into a boring adult.

She was embarrassed to admit the truth, but hanging out with Houston sounded like the perfect cure for her weekend doldrums. They could go dancing, or maybe his friends were having a party. “I actually just finished a project I was working on and could use a break. Did you want to meet at a bar or something?”

“I was thinking of somewhere more… private.” His voice got low and rumbly like the purr of a tiger, and the sexy sound went straight to her center. He wanted to go somewhere private? Did that mean…?

She wandered over to the living room and dropped down on the couch, fanning her flaming face with her hand. “Uh, yeah, sure. Do you have someplace in mind?”

“What about your place?”

She glanced around at her apartment. She probably should’ve spent the evening cleaning it. Her dining room turned art studio was a chaotic jumble of canvases and art supplies, and now there was a pool of paint-tinged water soaking the table and dripping onto the paint-splotched drop cloth on the floor. Hopefully, Houston would be too preoccupied by her to notice.

“That sounds great.” She gave him her address.

“Cool. I’ll see you soon.”

She went into a frenzy as
