Chapter Seven

Thad had always known Janey was one hell of a sexy woman, and when he arrived to pick her up for their date the next evening, she looked it in a spaghetti-strap chantilly lace dress several shades darker than her hair. It fell to just below her knees, and was cinched in at the waist with a ribbon belt he immediately yearned to undo. Her long sexy legs were encased in sheer dark stockings, and high-heeled sandals added three inches to her height. Making her, he thought, just that much easier to kiss…

“You look…amazing,” Thad murmured as she ushered him inside her home. Everything about her was perfection, from the soft chestnut waves tumbling down around her shoulders, to the subdued rose lipstick on her lips and the smoky taupe shadow on her lids. And she smelled fantastic, too. Like expensive perfume that filled his senses and beckoned a man to a woman’s bed. The only problem being, they weren’t going home to his bed but to a party for his sister and her bridegroom. So, unfortunately the ravishing was going to have to wait.

“I think she looks pretty good, too,” Chris said proudly as he popped up behind Janey, eager as always to talk to Thad. “For a mom, I mean,” Chris finished hastily.

Thad smiled at Chris, then turned back to Janey. He couldn’t stop looking at her, and she seemed to feel the same way about him. “She looks amazing, period,” Thad murmured as Janey flashed a shyly appreciative gaze his way, then gathered her evening purse and keys. Unable to help but put her mom hat on once more before they headed out the door, she said in an I don’t want any trouble while I’m gone voice, “Now, about your evening…”

Chris held up a silencing palm, adroitly cutting off whatever speech she had been about to make. “Not to worry, Mom,” Chris said with a look that promised he would be on his best behavior in the absence of parental supervision. “I’ve got my evening all planned out, too. I’m going to start getting my stuff ready for camp on Sunday, and watch the hockey video Uncle Joe gave me, take a shower, get something to eat and head to bed. So you can come in whenever you want because I won’t be waiting up.”

Flushing, Janey avoided Thad’s gaze. “That’s very considerate of you, honey. But I’ll be home by midnight, I promise.”

Chris shrugged, looking as unwilling for his mother to have to cut short her fun on some arbitrary time clock as Thad was. “Don’t rush on my account,” Chris repeated.

Janey rolled her eyes, then leaned forward to kiss the top of his head. “See ya.”

“See ya!” Chris hugged her then darted off, turning when he was nearly to the kitchen. “’Bye, Coach!”

“’Bye, Chris.” Thad smiled at Chris, thinking what a great kid he was, then held the door for Janey and escorted her down the sidewalk to his waiting SUV.

As expected, Janey’s embarrassed apology wasn’t long in coming.
