Excerpt:
J.C.
looked incredibly handsome in a shepherd’s coat, jeans and boots,
with snow dusting his thick, black, un covered hair.
“You
never wear a hat,” Colie mused, trying not to let her hands tremble
as she took the coat to hang up for him. He was so tall that she had
to stand on her tiptoes to pull it back off his shoulders.
“I
hate hats,” he remarked. He glanced at her as she put the coat on
the rack in the hall, his pale gray eyes narrow and appraising on her
slender, sexy body. She dressed like a lady, but he knew all about
women who put on their best behavior around company. She was just out
of school; college, he was certain, because she had to be at least
twenty-two or twenty-three. Catelow had several thousand people, and
J.C. didn’t mix with them. He only knew what Rodney told him about
his sister. And that wasn’t much.
“I
noticed,” Colie said as she turned, smiling.
His
eyes flickered down to her pert breasts and he fought down a raging
hunger that he hadn’t felt in a long time. He had women, but this
one stirred him in a dif ferent way. He couldn’t explain how,
exactly. It irritated him and he scowled.
“It
wasn’t a complaint,” Colie added quickly, not understanding the
scowl.
He
shrugged. “No problem. What are we eating?”
“Leftover
turkey with cranberry sauce, mashed po tatoes, salad and apple pie.”
She hesitated, insecure. “Is that okay?”
He
smiled, his perfect white teeth visible under chis eled, sensuous
lips. “It’s great. I love turkey.” He chuck led. “I like
chicken, too, although I usually get mine in a bucket.”
Her
eyes widened. “You put it in a pail, like you milk cows with?”
she asked, shocked.
He
glowered at her. “There’s this chicken place. They sell you
chicken and biscuits and sides…”
She
went red as fire. “Oh, gosh, sorry, wasn’t think ing,” she
stammered. “Let’s go in! Daddy’s already at the table.”
Rodney
went ahead, but J.C. slid a long finger inside the back of Colie’s
sweater and gently stopped her. He moved forward, so that she could
feel the heat and power of him at her back in a way that made her
heart run wild, her knees shiver. “I was teasing,” he whispered
right next to her ear. His lips brushed it.
Her
intake of breath was visible. Her whole body felt shaky.
His
big hands caught her shoulders and held her there while his lips
traveled down the side of her throat in a lazy, whispery caress that
caused her to melt inside.
“Do
you like movies?” he whispered.
“Well,
yes…”
“There’s
a new comedy at the theater Saturday. Go with me. We’ll have supper
at the fish place on the way.”
She
turned, shocked. “You…you want to go out with me?” she asked,
her green eyes wide and full of delight.
He
smiled slowly. “Yes. I want to go out with you.”
“Saturday?”
He
nodded.
“What
time?”
“We’ll
leave about five.”
“That
would be lovely,” she said, drowning in his eyes, on fire with the
joy he’d just kindled in her with the un expected invitation.
