team ran out to meet him and began
talking to him as they walked back together. When he got near enough to notice Kayla,
he stopped walking and grinned.
Kayla wasn’t sure if it was possible but somehow he’d become even better-looking during
her absence. He was even more incredible in his jeans than when he wore his tough-guy
camouflage pants.
After shaking off the girls, he headed up the steps of the bleachers to where she
sat. Stopping in front of her, he simply put his hands on his hips and smiled at her.
She actually heard her own sharp intake of breath. He was stunning up close, and warmth
spread from her belly down to her knees and up to her breasts until she had to look
away from his sinful grin.
Was this enhanced reaction to his nearness because of their upcoming date, or had
she really just missed him that much?
“We should move down closer to the front row,” he recommended.
“Okay,” she said hesitantly.
“One for offense, two for defense. Remember?” He gave her another delicious smirk
that only brought back memories of how that mouth of his felt on hers.
“Oh, yeah. I almost forgot.” She smiled back.
She followed him down to the front row, near the middle. They would be directly in
front of the cheerleaders. Addie and the other girls on the team were doing some warm-up
stretches with a couple of the boys they had been talking to earlier. Ronnie sat down
next to her—so close she could smell the aftershave he wore, which again filled her
stomach with a tingly ball of sensations.
Leaning down close to her he whispered, “Addie wasn’t the only one who missed you
this week. Did you miss me, too, Kayla?”
He stared at her. With each passing second her reasons for not getting involved with
him were put to the test. Technically, he worked for her, and it was wrong to get
involved with an employee. But he initiated most of the flirting, even if she’d been
the one who’d kissed him last week. She was a single mother and shouldn’t have meaningless
flings with men. It was a bad example for Addie. But Addie was the one who’d invited
him over for popcorn and a movie. He probably only wanted Kayla for sex. But she had
to admit that “only sex” wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
“I guess you didn’t miss me,” he said, still smiling. “Here I was hoping you would
tackle me to the ground and kiss the cute off of me.”
“I shouldn’t have done that.” She blushed even as she felt the grin spreading across
her face.
“No, you probably shouldn’t have. It left me a mess this whole week. It is really
hard to focus when all I can think about are your arms around my neck and the passion
in your kiss. I realize you’re technically my boss and I shouldn’t be having the wicked
fantasies about you that I have had, but…even though you probably shouldn’t have kissed
me, I can’t
wait
for you to do it again.”
“What if I
don’t
kiss you again?” she asked breathlessly.
Glancing out to the field where Addie and her friends were still stretching and talking—and
paying no attention to them—he leaned in and captured Kayla’s lips in a hungry kiss
that had her raising her arms to wrap them around his neck. Before she could touch
him, though, he grabbed her wrists and halted her movement.
Pulling back, he said, “Do you want to kiss me now, Kayla?”
“Yes,” she replied. Her whole body wanted to kiss him.
“You had your chance. Now you have to wait until our date tomorrow because your daughter
and her friends will be heading this way any minute,” he whispered against her lips.
He captured them one last time and just as quickly released them, along with her wrists,
and sat back.
It was only a few seconds later when Addie and her friends turned and headed toward
the bleachers. Ronnie moved slightly, giving Kayla a little more room on the bench.
