My Kind of Girl by Candace Shaw

step and his stomach churned into a knot. The
last thing he wanted her to do was leave.
    “ I was hoping you’d be
there when I returned.” He frowned. He couldn’t believe he was
disappointed. Normally, if one girl wasn’t available he’d just call
another one, but Traci wasn’t some girl and he only wanted to see
her.
    “ Okay, I can stay and wait
or I can leave and come back. I need to take a shower and change
clothes. Grab something to eat.”
    “ I have four bathrooms and
a fridge full of food.”
    “ I don’t have a change of
clothes.” She tossed the bag on top of the others and pivoted
around to the front of the house. A stunning smile crossed her face
showcasing her yummy dimples. He assumed she was admiring her
finished project for she jokingly patted herself on the back and
the continued up the sidewalk. She stopped as if she was pondering
something and he hoped it was a yes about waiting for him to
return.
    “ I have a closet full of
clothes.”
    Her face wrinkled, causing her cute
dimples to scrunch up. “Um … I totally doubt I can fit anything of
yours.”
    “ Just go to the bedroom off
of the kitchen. You can’t miss it. It has two double doors. Put on
what you like. I’ll be home in about ninety minutes. My house is
only a subdivision away from Raven’s house. Make yourself at
home.”
    Her face brightened up. “Okay, I’ll
see you then.”
    Once he hung up, Sean realized she was
the first woman to be alone in his home outside of family and the
housekeeper who came twice a week to clean and cook dinner. She was
also the first woman he was getting to know that would have access
to the master bedroom. When he had overnight guests which was rare
for he usually stayed at their places, he would take them to the
guestroom on the other side of the house. His master suite was his
retreat after a long day.
    He glanced down at his the cell phone
again to see Traci in his kitchen looking through the refrigerator.
She grabbed a bottled water and a hand full of grapes. Afterwards,
she tramped to the hallway to the master. He didn’t have any
cameras past that point, but now he wished like hell that he did,
especially in the shower.

    Traci carefully opened one of the
double doors to Sean’s bedroom and peeked inside into the
immaculate space. A California-size king bed greeted her that was
overflowing with decorative pillows at the headboard and topped
with a gorgeous plush black and gold comforter. The cherrywood bed
was high off the floor which was perfect for his height, but she’d
need a mini-ladder to climb into it. On the other side of the room
was a sitting area with a black leather couch and a matching
recliner that faced the fireplace. There was a small antique desk
in the corner with a laptop and a picture of his parents. Above the
mantle was a flat screened television. She found the remote on the
little table next to the chair and turned on the TV. A football
game was on, so she decided to leave it there and walked over to
another set of double doors that opened into the bathroom. In the
middle there was a huge garden tub that looked as if it could hold
at least four people, and she wondered if that had ever been a
possibility. With Sean she assumed yes and glanced at the vanities
facing each other on opposite walls. The one that was clearly for a
female was empty of toiletries, but instead displayed pictures of
his siblings with their families or pictures of when they were
younger. She’d recognized some as duplicates from his parents’
home.
    She moved further into the room and
opened the door to the closet that was almost as big as the
bedroom. There were hundreds of dress shirts and suits that lined
one long wall. On the opposite wall were casual clothes and in the
center a huge island sort of like the one in his kitchen. It was
adorned with jewelry boxes, cologne, and some of his watches were
laid out as well. She ran her fingers along his dress shirts.
Everything was
