He gave that some thought and knew she had it right. Besides, if she was at
the diner helping him, then he d have her close. Not a bad deal, all things
considered. What are you doing tomorrow afternoon? he asked. We can head
over there, and I can show you around, if you want.
Her eyes brightened. I d love that. Thank you.
Don t thank me yet. Wait until you ve seen the mess you re about to walk
into.

Vance s Rules
She reached up, grasped the towel and pulled. It fell away from her head,
and a tangled mass of wet red hair fell down around her shoulders. Vance
reached out and fingered a lock. I ve always loved your hair, Shay. So soft and
baby fine.
Thank you. She yawned. Oops, sorry.
You re exhausted. Come on, Vance said as he stood and reached out a
hand. She took it willingly and smiled up at him. How s your stomach?
He watched her swallow. Better. Much better.
Good, but you need a good night s sleep.
You re leaving?
She sounded disappointed. Hell, Vance knew that feeling well. He cupped
her face in his palms and whispered, Only because you aren t one hundred
percent right now. Tomorrow, when you re feeling better, I plan to make up for
it.
Her gaze turned drowsy as her small hand came up to cover his. I m
looking forward to it.
Vance groaned and lowered his head. When their lips touched, the fire inside
him built to an inferno of need. Her lips were the sweetest temptation. For a
moment, he allowed himself free rein. He forgot that he was supposed to leave.
Everything went up in smoke as the flavor of her fresh mint toothpaste and
warm tea hit his tongue. Vance licked her bottom lip and sucked it into his
mouth, nibbling and enjoying the eager sounds she made. She arched against
him and whimpered, as if ready to plead for him to fuck her. He wanted to. God,
how he wanted to. He would take her hard and fast. Slow and easy. He wanted
her in so damn many ways it made his head spin.
When Vance reached out and massaged her left breast through the heavy
sweatshirt with the palm of his hand, Shayla shuddered. He skated his lips over

her cheek to her neck. He licked a spot just above the neckline of the sweatshirt,
and Shayla let out a greedy sound. As he cupped the back of her head, her wet
hair against his hand brought Vance back to reality. She wasn t up for this, he
reminded himself. Not an hour ago, she d been hugging the porcelain. Christ, he
was a royal ass.
With the last remnants of his willpower, Vance pulled away from her.
Sleep, honey, he whispered. You need it.
Uh, I d rather do other things right now, she said as she reached out for
him. He took her hands in his and kissed the backs of her knuckles before
dropping them away.
Think of this as the end of chapter one, he said. Tomorrow we ll get to
chapter two, I promise.
Shayla wrinkled her nose and plopped into the chair. In that case, chapter
two better be fantastic, because I m not happy how this one ended.
He chuckled and crouched in front of her. Chapter two is going to be
explosive. Just you wait and see. He kissed her one last time, needing another
taste of her, then said, Two o clock sound good to you?
She thought for a moment. That should work. And I can fix us lunch.
He nodded and touched her lower lip with his thumb. The soft, plump lip
brought a carnal image to his mind. Her mouth wrapped tight around his cock,
suckling and licking. I ll see you then, he said in a rough voice. Sleep tight,
Shay.
Without another word, he strode to the front door. If he didn t get out fast,
he was never going to leave. A man had only so much control, damn it.

Chapter Seven
It was a little before two in the afternoon, and Vance would be showing up
any minute. In fact, if Shayla remembered correctly, the man would be early.
Being late had always been a pet peeve of his. She grabbed the pepper grinder
and sprinkled some over the salad before turning to the stove. She d decided on
grilled chicken, oven-roasted russet potatoes and a garden salad. Unless he d
changed drastically in the years they d been apart, Vance was a meat-and-
potatoes man. Shayla had wanted him good and satisfied. Part of her also
wanted to show him that he wasn t the only one who could cook.
As she placed the plate of chicken and potatoes on the table, the phone rang.
Shayla froze. Was he cancelling? God, she hoped not. When it rang again, Shayla
dragged herself to the other side of the room and picked up the cordless phone
attached to the wall next to the fridge. Hello?
Hi, sweetie, are you busy?
Oh, thank you, God. Hi, Mom, not at all. She looked at the lunch she d
prepared and smiled. How are things at home?
Everything s fine. I just called to see how it was going with the new
apartment and everything.
Her mom was her best friend. They d been through thick and thin together,
which was why Shayla knew that the everything her mom referred to was
Vance. Um, great. The cold weather is taking some getting used to, but other
than that, I m good.

There was a beat of silence, and Shayla thought maybe they d gotten
disconnected. Have you talked to him yet? her mom asked in a quieter tone.
Shayla heard the worry in her mom s voice, and that was the last thing she
wanted. Evelyn Riggs had had enough to deal with in her life, having been
married to a monster like Peter Riggs, not to mention the breast cancer. She
certainly didn t need to waste time fretting about her daughter s love life, or lack
thereof.
We ve cleared the air, Mom, so you don t need to be concerned, Shayla
said. In fact, he s coming over for lunch in a few minutes.
It s been a long time since you two were an item, she prodded. I imagine
a lot has changed. I m sure he s changed.
True, Shayla said, unsure where her mom was going with the
conversation. But don t read a lot into it. It s just lunch.
She tsked. Ha! You ve cared about that boy for as long as I can remember,
young lady. Moving to Florida didn t change a darn thing, much to your father s
dismay.
Why had she thought she could fool the woman? You re right, but if I start
overthinking it, I ll make myself crazy. Today we re going to have lunch
together, nothing more. If I hope it ll lead to more, well, that s my business.
How d he react to seeing you again?
At first he was angry, but we talked, and I think he understands why I did
what I did.
You told him about your father? she asked, her voice a little unsteady.
Yeah. I think if Dad were still alive, Vance would ve&
Of course he would ve. He s an honorable man. Nothing like the man I
married.

Vance s Rules
Sympathy for her mother prompted her to say, Vance is a good man, that s
true, but so is Fred.
Her mother sighed. He s so good to me that sometimes I can t believe he s
real.
Tears sprang to her eyes, and Shayla said, But he is real, and you deserve
someone like Fred.
We both do, sweetie. She paused, then added, I love you.
I love you too, Mom, Shayla replied. After they hung up, Shayla s nerve
endings were firing like pistons in a racecar engine. Was she doing the right
thing? She d gotten frustrated with Vance for wanting only a physical
relationship, but she couldn t deny her body ached for his just as much. All he
had to do was glance her way, and her clit swelled and throbbed. When she
imagined him stripping out of his jeans, his engorged cock within her reach,
Shayla s panties grew damp. All they d done so far was some hot and heavy [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
