Both sets of eyes turn to me. Summer’s expression warms, and if I’m not mistaken, her smile brightens.
Evan’s eyes narrow. I keep my face passive but quirk an eyebrow.
This idiot can fuck right off.
“Well, hey there,” Summer says. “It’s good to see you, Chase.”
“Hey. My mother swears she baked too many of her famous peanut butter cookies, and I can’t eat two dozen by myself, so I thought I’d stop in to share with you. Also, I wanted to see how your security systems are working out.”
“First of all, I never turn down a cookie,” Summer says and accepts the plate from me just as Lily the dog hops out of her bed to come and greet me. “And second, everything is working great. I think I’ve finally got the hang of checking the app, and I love being able to see both places when I’m not there.”
“You got a security system?” Evan asks.
“I did,” she confirms. “Both here and at home. I’m sorry, Evan, I assume you know Chase Wild?”
“Sure,” I say with a nod to the other man. “How’s it going, Evan?”
“I’m great,” he says and turns back to Summer. “Why do you need a security system?”
“Oh, I had some kids try to break into my house on the Fourth,” she says, waving it off. “Chase and Brady installed it for me.”
“Well, that was…nice,” Evan says with a forced smile. “You’re okay?”
Summer bites into a cookie and closes her eyes with a groan.
Jesus Christ, I want to make her groan like that for completely different, more primal reasons.
“These are seriously so good. Tell your mama I want the recipe, Chase.”
“You’re okay?” Evan repeats, clearly irritated that he’s being ignored for cookies.
“Oh, yeah. Totally fine now.” She waves him off and takes another bite of cookie.
“Well, you know you can always call me. I’m just down the street. I’m pretty sure I can be at your place in just a few seconds.”
“I appreciate it,” she says to him. “Chase arrived and saved the day, and now I feel a lot safer. You should try one of these cookies.”
“I’m allergic to peanuts.” His voice is tight as he shakes his head. “I’d better go back to the office for my next appointment.”
He nods at me, then looks longingly at Summer before walking out the door.
Looks like Evan Spencer, Attorney at Law, has a crush on the florist.
And he’s going to be damn disappointed if I have anything to say about it.
“Seriously,” Summer says as she chews another cookie. “Do these have crack in them or something? Because holy moly, they’re addicting. Ida, come eat some cookies before I eat them all myself.”
She breaks off a tiny piece of her cookie and offers it to Lily, who’s sitting patiently like a good girl.
“I’m glad you like them,” I say with a chuckle. “They were always a hit when we were kids.”
“They’ll go right to my already too-wide hips,” Summer says with a shrug. “But I don’t seem to care.”
“Nothing wrong with your hips.”
I love her curves. She has a phenomenal body. Today, her long blonde hair is down around her shoulders, wavy and begging for my fingers. She’s in jeans that hug those curves perfectly, and a green T-shirt that shows off breasts that would make any red-blooded man sit up and beg.
Summer Quinn is a gorgeous woman, and I’ve been attracted to her since the first day I laid eyes on her years ago.
