step back and she knew the magic of the evening
was fading as Trey, the lover, left and her beloved friend returned. “You going back to Jamie’s?”
She nodded, wondering if that idea upset him. “He invited me to spend the day with him.”
“Good. I’m glad.” His answer was short and his tone gave her no clue to his thoughts.
“See you Monday?” she asked.
He reached up and ruffled her hair playfully as she giggled. “See you Monday, Gracie.”
She climbed back into the truck and as they drove away, her concerns about her relationship with
Trey being awkward when they returned to work faded. They’d both gotten what they wanted and Grace
knew Trey would take the secret of their threesome to his grave. He wouldn’t tell tales, wouldn’t brag or expose her. He would always be her friend.
As she glanced across the seat at Jamie, she realized the same didn’t hold true for him. While her
emotions hadn’t been engaged as far as Trey was concerned, her heart was definitely succumbing to
Jamie’s charm. Hell, it had always beat faster for the man. This weekend had only solidified her crush on him and she knew returning to “just friends” status with him would be much more difficult.

“Where are you going?” she asked when she realized he was heading for her house, not his. Her heart
lurched with the thought that perhaps he’d changed his mind about spending the day together.
“I thought we’d swing by your place so you can get some clean clothes and your toothbrush.
Anything else you might need for the night at my house.”
“Night?” His invitation included another night in his bed? She wished she could restrain the grin
bursting to get out.
He looked over and spotted her barely suppressed giddiness. “You thought I was finished with you?
Damn, Grace, I haven’t even started taking you all the ways I want to.”
She tried to deny how hot his words made her. Jamie was a master of dirty talk and she feared a few
more sentences from him would have her bursting into flames on the front seat of his truck.
He reached over and grabbed her hand, holding it in a gesture that was friendly and possessive at the
same time. “It’s going to take a lot more than one night between the sheets to get you out of my system, angel.”
As they pulled up to her house, she captured his words, tucking them inside and holding them close.
He made her feel special. It had been such a long time since anyone had made her feel like this. She only spent a few moments in her house, Jamie waiting patiently on the couch as she packed an overnight bag.
She briefly toyed with the idea of packing a sexy nightie, but dismissed it, knowing full well Jamie
preferred her naked.
She was about to leave her bedroom when she caught sight of him lounging in the doorway. He
looked perfectly at home in her room and it struck her that no man had been in her bedroom in nearly six years.
“Let me see what’s in your bag.” His voice was laced with the commanding tone that had her instantly
going wet. Suddenly she was regretting she hadn’t thought to throw a few extra pairs of panties in.
“Why?”
He shrugged. “I have a feeling you might have missed some of the essentials.”
She looked at him, confused, and then opened her bag to double check. “Toothbrush, comb, some
makeup, extra clothes. It’s all here.”
Jamie shook his head and she thought for a moment he looked disappointed. “Where do you keep
your toys, Grace?”
Rather than waiting for an answer, he crossed the room to her nightstand.
“Toys?” she asked.
He turned to look at her. “You’re a grown woman with an amazing sex drive. There’s no way you’ve
spent the last six years without a man and not taken care of those needs by yourself.” He pointed to the drawer of the nightstand, but he didn’t open it and she was touched that he respected her privacy. “Are they in here?”
