something about cupcakes?”
    Joe pulled a cupcake from behind his back and pressed it in her hand. “Enjoy.”
    Her eyes lit up. She took a bite, and nodded her head. “This is good.” She licked the thick cream cheese frosting and rolled her eyes. “Oh yeah. Salty. Sweet. So good.”
    Joe froze, as if the sight of her having a gastric orgasm was too much. He cleared his throat. “Glad you like them. One of my fans dropped them off.” His mouth twisted.
    “Nice. She’s a keeper. I thought you were going to lie and tell me you’d made them.”
    “I may not have baked these, but I can bake .”
    “Really?”
    “Men bake too, you know. My great aunt taught me.” His ears had turned pink and she hid her grin at his little boy defensiveness. “It’s not unheard of,” he muttered, tucking his hands in his pockets. He bent to inspect her rim. Maybe he wanted to check something but her guess was he wanted to avoid her gaze.
    “No, guess not. I wondered about the Kitchen Aid mixer in your kitchen.”
    “It’s not for show.” He stood and glared down at her. “So now you know the bio is partly true. Baking is my secret hobby.”
    She gave a two-finger Scout salute. “I won’t tell a soul. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I can’t cook at all.”
    “Nothing?”
    “Not a damn thing. Dylan and Derek make sure I don’t starve and before moving here I existed on microwave dinners and take out.”
    “I thought you just liked washing dishes at the family dinners I’ve attended.”
    “It’s too dangerous to allow me in the kitchen, or rather in front of the stove. They know better. I’m good for prep work and clean up crew, that’s it.”
    “That bad, huh?”
    “Almost burnt down the house making hot chocolate once. Who knew chocolate could spew so high? Never could get the chocolate stain off the kitchen ceiling.”
    He chuckled and braced an arm against her car roof. Her girl parts clapped and cheered as his biceps bunched when he leaned close enough for her to count his eyelashes. She focused on breathing through her nose—not through her mouth. Panting would not be cool.
    “So, you’re not a poster for the 1950’s ideal woman?” He grinned at her. Small lines fanned from the corner of his eyes while the golden light in their depths warmed her.
    “Nope. No man would have me. At least if he wanted to eat.”
    “There’s more to relationships than cooking skills. It’s the new millennium. Men cook.”
    “True.”
    She got quiet. Nice and charming Joe was different. No wonder women adored him. He probably hadn’t meant to be flirty and sexy and it was her fault for putting more meaning into it, but when his eyes sparkled like that, it zapped her defenses.
    She didn’t know if her libido could handle the charming Joe. Pain-in-the-ass Joe was much safer.
    He reached into the car and tucked a rogue strand of her hair behind her ear. His touch both burned her and kick started her heart to a racing pace. “Tell Janie happy birthday for me.”
    “I will,” she whispered.
    They locked gazes. She couldn’t read his expression and hoped like hell, he couldn’t read the yearning in hers. She wanted him to repeat what he’d said that night after she’d fallen asleep, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Their visual standoff was interrupted.
    “Hello there.”
    The spell was broken and she drew her gaze from Joe.
    “Hi. I’m Dani.” She smiled at the attractive older man with warm green eyes. “Also known as Joe’s magical unicorn.”
    George chuckled. “Hi Dani. Glad to finally meet you.”
    Dani smiled. “Joe’s told me a lot about you.”
    “Well, he’s been pretty tight lipped about you, that’s why I thought you were a unicorn he’d made up. All I know is you’re Derek’s little sister and a PhD candidate.”
    “That’s about the gist of it.”
    “Well, you’ll have to spill the details on how you captured this boy. Women have tried time and time again, but have never been
