Sean never thought it would take so much effort to keep from swallowing his tongue. She was so damn beautiful in her simple black dress, with her curls, brushed loose and shining, hanging in a thick, luxurious mass down her back. He wanted to bury his hands in her hair and smooth the shining strands against his face. He wanted to see it spread across his pillow. His body tightened at the pillow idea, and he had to clench his teeth against the rush of desire that swept through him.

“I didn’t know what to wear,” she said hesitantly, and he realized he’d been standing there silently staring at her like an idiot, probably with his mouth hanging open like the fish on the wall at O’Malley’s. The one that came to life, sang songs, and heckled the customers.

“You look amazing,” he told her honestly, and then he realized he hadn’t told her they were going to a barbecue. Women had dress codes or something for what they wore. She probably wouldn’t have wanted to get so dressed up for a barbecue, but he’d be damned if he’d regret it. She looked like his own personal dream of the perfect woman, come to life just for him.

And he was ambushing her with dinner with his family.

He was an idiot. The fish was smarter than him.

“Are you okay?” She was starting to look concerned, and little wonder.

“I’m going to throw myself on your mercy,” he confessed. “I ran out of here so fast the other day that I didn’t get your number, because I was afraid you’d find a reason to say no if I hung around. So I didn’t have a way to call you and tell you we’re actually going to a barbecue.”

She raised one eyebrow as she stepped out and locked the door behind her.

“Yes, I can see the problem. So hard to look up Scruffy’s in the Bordertown phone book or online,” she said dryly.

The dress came down to a few inches above her knees, but there was a little discreet slit up the front that flashed her leg at him as she walked, and it distracted him completely as he opened his car door for her.

“Yeah,” he said, clearing his throat and shoving away all thoughts of pinning her against the car and biting her neck until she moaned. “Yeah, that would have been a great idea, if I’d thought of it. Although honestly I would have been worried that if I called, you’d have had a chance to change your mind.”

She stopped, inches in front of him, and the scent of violets and spring rain teased his senses.

“You’re being very candid, Sean,” she murmured. “Is it sincere or is it meant to disarm me into telling you my secrets, I wonder?”

He blinked. “You have more secrets?”

Brynn started laughing and then slid into the car, flashing an appealing length of bare leg. “Smooth, Sean. Very smooth.”

By the time they finished discussing her day
