sat at the table, laughing.
Her pretty, twenty-something house sitter gazed adoringly at J.J. They looked good together. A wave of jealousy split Kat’s heart in two. Sadness overwhelmed her. Amy could give J.J. everything she couldn’t. Kat made up her mind. She would let J.J. go when she moved to Maine. Kat just needed to find a way to tell him.
“Hi, you two,” Patty said.
Amy stood and grabbed her purse. “J.J. stopped by to see you, Mrs. Henderson.” She turned to look at J.J. “You never said why you came by.”
She almost hissed and clawed at the younger woman. “Thank you so much, Amy. Did you have any trouble?”
“No. It was nice to have the place to myself.” Amy looked at her watch. “I need to go, Mrs. Henderson.”
Kat wrote her a check and thanked her.
“We’ll be at the new club on Main Street when you get done with your paperwork,” Amy said to J.J.
J.J. sent Kat a pointed stare. “I’ll be doing paperwork all night.”
A bolt of lightning-hot desire reverberated through her body.
“Well, I’ll see you later,” Amy said and left.
Patty winked at her. “I better go. Ron and I have plans tonight.”
Kat’s gaze locked onto J.J.’s. He looked so good. “Give him a kiss for me.”
Patty turned and walked back to the front door. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. I’ll call you tomorrow,” she called over her shoulder.
Since Ron and Patty were into freaky stuff, she thought she and J.J. were safe. “Thanks.”
J.J. stood and ran his eyes over her. “Are you okay?” he asked, concerned. “You look tired.”
She ran her hands through her frizzy hair to smooth it. What if he’s changed his mind? “You really know how to charm a lady.”
He flushed red. “Sorry.”
“I need to take a bath and have a big glass of wine.”
Remorse covered his handsome face. “We don’t…”
“Oh J.J.” She placed her hand to his cheek. “If you think you can get out of having sex with me that easy, you’re sadly mistaken.”
A wicked smile covered his face and he turned his face into her palm. “I don’t want to be mistaken.” He pressed a kiss into her hand. “Are you hungry?”
She slid her hand to his shoulder. You didn’t do some things before you had sex for the first time in almost twelve years. Eating was one of them. “Not really.” At that moment, Kat’s stomach decided to announce how it felt about her lie by rumbling. She bit her bottom lip and hoped he hadn’t heard her traitorous belly.
He smiled. “I’ll go get something from China House.” J.J. stepped back. “You get in the tub and have that wine.”
Her mother’s comments about her weight echoed in Kat’s mind. “You go ahead. I don’t want anything.”
The heat in his eyes almost burned her. “I don’t want to hear about you not eating.” J.J. moved closer. “I love your body. I want it, all of it. I want to feel you under me, over me, beside me.”
Her hormones had a dance party in her core. Kat stepped back. “I want to be sexy for you. I don’t want to be all bloated.”
J.J. yanked her against him and kissed her hard. “Go take a bath, I’ll go get dinner.” He cupped her face. “I think you’re beautiful as you are. I don’t want you to change.” He kissed her softly on the lips, turned and walked out.
Kat had to admit J.J.’s words flattered her. It had been way too long since she’d felt this sexy. Kat jogged up the stairs and hustled to the master bedroom. She didn’t have much time to get herself sex ready.
She drew a bath. She shimmied out of the sticky clothes, smeared anti-ageing goop over her face and neck, stepped into the large tub, settled in and put cooling pads on her eyes. The bubble bath she’d poured in earlier smelled like oranges. Kat turned on the jets. Hot water pummeled her stressed muscles into relaxation.
The bath took longer than she had intended. Kat had forgotten how long it took to shave certain areas of her body. Kat now knew why
