Brody reached the doorway then leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms. “Faith and I are leaving tonight. I’ll be back tomorrow morning. All right?”
“Okay.” Harper gave a firm nod. “Good luck.”
Brody gave a smile that she never saw much. Free and happy, without a thousand resp
onsibilities on his shoulders. Then he was gone, and she heard the front door open then close, and the rumble of his truck’s exhaust. When the sounds outside got quiet, she flopped back onto her bed, staring at her popcorn ceiling.
Marriage.
Wow. Everything was changing so fast.
The sudden beeping of her cell phone snapped her out of her thoughts. She grabbed her phone off the bed, finding a text from Chase.
Plans for tonight?
An idea began to form. Want to live dangerously? she texted back.
Always.
Come to my place.

On the drive over to Harper’s house, Chase forced himself to leave his work behind him. His team would work into the night finishing up with a couple of small projects at the ranch, but he was confident the inspection would go off without a hitch on Monday. Glad that he would have tomorrow off to spend the day with Harper, he pulled his truck in behind her white Honda in the driveway and cut the ignition. Next to him on the passenger seat, Houdini lay looking at him with his tongue wagging out. Compared to Gus, Houdini was such a calm dog. He had wise, inquisitive eyes. An old soul. Though, sadly, he was not cute enough to tempt Chase’s mother into taking him.
Chase sighed and scooped up the puppy, looking him directly in the eye. “We’ll find you somewhere great, buddy. Don’t you worry.”
Houdini licked his nose. Chase smiled and tucked the pup in his arm then traveled up the porch cement steps. Part of him knew how dangerous this was. Brody would likely kill him if he found him there. Though Chase trusted that Harper wouldn’t want him dead. He almost knocked, until he spotted a note taped to the front door.
I’ve got a treat for you inside. The door is open.
Curiosity building, he grabbed the note, crumpled it into his hand, then shoved the paper into his pocket. He entered the house, discovering a dog crate in his path, and another note.
Put Houdini to bed. Come find me.
Heat rose in his groin as he placed Houdini in the crate where he discovered treats, a comfy bed, and a stuffed animal. Houdini looked at him once, then ate the treats. After spending so much time at the vet’s, Chase assumed, he was used to cages now because he settled in easily.
Leaving Houdini there, he kicked off his work boots, glancing around at the living room, not seeing anything belonging to Harper there, telling him she was moving along with her packing. Intent to find her, his cock twitching with her obvious game, he approached the kitchen, with the thin hallway down to the left leading to the three bedrooms and bathroom. Silence surrounded him until he stepped into the kitchen, then his heart rate filled his ears.
Harper lay on the kitchen table on her side. Naked, her long hair blanketing the table behind her, she placed her head on her hand, one leg resting over the other.
She gave a sensual smile, swirling her finger into a bowl of chocolate resting atop a warmer. “I considered making a gourmet dinner for you to taste-test, but then thought you might appreciate tasting me instead.” She slid her chocolate-covered finger across her lips. “I’m really quite delicious. Want a taste?”
His muscles quivered, cock hardened to the point of near pain in his Levi’s. “Had I known you were waiting for me like this, I would have driven faster.”
Her heated eyes twinkled. “Good thing you didn’t know, then. I would have felt terrible if you had gotten into a car accident.”
He swallowed deeply, taking a moment to absorb the scene around him. She had left a condom for him on the table near her feet. The only other thing on the table was the chocolate. And her.
That’s all he saw since the day she had come back from Denver. Her confidence. Her playfulness. She had him all caught up. He arched an eyebrow. “You want to play, Harper?”
“Oh, yes, do I ever.” She smirked.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her as he strode forward and captured her chin, then licked the chocolate off her bottom lip, tasting the sweetness. He slid his hand into the soft strands of her hair then sealed his mouth across hers. Her low moan vibrated across him. Her body softened beneath his mouth.
Determined to deliver the fantasy she planned, he broke the kiss then gathered her in his arms, placing her on feet. He slid his finger into the chocolate then glanced at her. “I will kiss wherever this chocolate touches. Show me the path to take.”
A sexy smile curved her mouth. She pointed to her lips. “Here.”
