Chapter 14

After Jordan told him to hurry, Mason grinned like the lunatic he’d become since he met her. He drove toward Eastward Look much faster than he should have, but whatever. There were few advantages to giving most of his awake hours to the town of Gansett. Speeding without consequence was definitely one of them. He resisted the temptation to flip on his emergency lights, laughing to himself over the idea of using his lights to get to a woman faster. That was a line he wasn’t far enough gone to cross. Yet. It took eight minutes to get to Eastward Look when it probably should’ve taken fifteen.

He tore into the driveway like a man possessed, and that was probably a fitting description. Because what other explanation could there be for a thirty-five-year-old man who certainly knew better to be losing his mind over a woman?

Jordan came out of the house, her dark hair down around her shoulders, her eyes big with excitement and her smile even bigger as she came toward his vehicle.

Mason kept himself perfectly still as he took in every detail of the frilly top and tight cropped jeans she wore. But it was her stunning face that was the showstopper. He should’ve gotten out to hold the door for her, but she was in the car before he had the thought, bringing the distinctive scent of expensive fragrance with her.

She grinned at him. “Glad to see you and the sling.”

Mason could only stare at her. How was this incredibly beautiful, smart, sexy woman interested in him?

“You okay?” she asked, her brow furrowing.

“I think so.”

“You think so? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” he said gruffly. “Not a goddamned thing.”

Her smile got even bigger. “Is that right?”

“Uh-huh.” Mason’s brain had been scrambled by the sight of her, and he had to pull himself out of his dazzled state to put the SUV in Reverse, to drive, to remember where he was going and what his own name was. Shit, this was bad, and getting worse by the second. Ask him if he cared.

“Where’re we going?”

He had no fucking clue. “I need to run home to change, and then we can decide what we feel like doing. Okay?”

“Sure.”

“I have no idea what condition my house is in.”

Jordan’s low sexy laugh was like a lightning rod of desire that electrified every cell in Mason’s body. Christ have mercy, she would be the very death of him at this rate. “Are you a slob?”

“I wouldn’t say I’m a slob, per se, but things get messy when I’m working all the time.”

“I’m a slob. Just ask Nikki. It drives her crazy. She’s a neat freak. The way I see it, life is too short to be worried about cleaning all the time.”

“Agreed, but I don’t do dirty.”

“In general, or are we still talking about housekeeping?”

Mason released a long deep breath. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

“Doing what?”

“Being so sexy you make my head spin while pushing my buttons and tossing out suggestive one-liners that make it so I probably shouldn’t be driving in my current condition.
