so damned much."
"I've missed you, too." Jenny shivered, not only from the delicious sensual contact, but from the chill of the brisk breeze on her rain-drenched body.
Colt hugged her close and rubbed his hands up and down her arms. "There's so much to say, but not here. We need to get out of this rain, babe. Let's get you home."
"What about your truck?"
"I'll call for a tow when we get to your place. Give me your keys and I'll drive." He helped her into her car, then ran to close the hood of his truck and lock the doors.
Jenny watched him approach and her heart lurched in that familiar, yet disturbing way, only Colt could produce.
He opened the door and climbed in. "God, you look good." He leaned over and kissed her hard, before stabbing the key into the ignition and starting the car.
Colt smiled his lethal smile, and his eyes gleamed feral as he swiped the raindrops from his face and smoothed back his wet hair. A thrill shot through Jenny's veins.
He'd actually come looking for her. He still wanted her. The desire was there for anyone to see. She swallowed the lump in her throat and warned herself to calm down. The sexual attraction between them had always been strong. Did Colt want her badly enough that he couldn't live without her? Even if he didn't want a lifetime commitment, Jenny had the sinking suspicion she'd take whatever he was willing to give.
She was weak when it came to Colt Davis.
The rain intensified and poured down in sheets. The loud swish of raindrops against the windshield competed with Jenny's hammering heart. The silence in the car grew heavy as Colt drove through the blinding rain.
She had to say something. Anything. "What are you doing on this side of Dallas?"
Colt shot her a ferocious glare, his eyes squinting, his forehead bunched in a frown. "What the hell do you think I'm doing here? I was coming to see you, damn it. Why didn't you answer my calls or emails or my texts? I've been looking for you . . . seems like forever. I was beginning to think you didn't want to be found."
The deep resonance of his voice flowed over Jenny, warming her all over. She'd missed him so much. She loved him so much.
Keeping one hand on the steering wheel, Colt reached out with the other and gripped the base of her neck. She took a deep breath to still the trembling in her body, the ache building low in her stomach.
"Jenny? Why didn't you return my calls?"
She bit her lip. She couldn't tell him it had all been part of her campaign to win him back. She reminded herself not to hope too much. The fact he had come to see her was an intoxicating thought. She needed to tread carefully, though. She wasn't sure what Colt wanted from her. "You made it perfectly clear you didn't want to see me again the last time we were together."
He tightened his hand on her neck. "Hell, I was angry and scared. I said a lot of things I didn't mean. I've changed my mind. I take it all back."
The touch of his fingers against her wet skin and the desire burning in his eyes blazed a path from her stomach clear down to her toes. She wanted to feel his hands all over her body, caressing her, loving her. It seemed like years since they'd made love. She took another deep calming breath.
"Those are my apartments up ahead on the left. My apartment is the first one in the second group of buildings."
Colt released his hold on her, and Jenny felt bereft of the contact. He pulled into the parking lot and parked in the slot in front of her apartment, then killed the engine. The rain was still pouring down; dusk had given way to darkness. The lights in the parking lot stood like dim beacons straining through the silvery grayness of the rain.
He pulled the keys from the ignition and handed them to her, starting at her through the semi-darkness. Not saying a word, he leaned over and kissed her. When she didn't respond, he pulled back and searched her eyes. "You did want me to find you, didn't you, Jenny?" he asked softly.
"Yes, but I thought
