But not so much as a spark.
Just being near Bryce made my skin tighten and tingle. This guy?
Nope.
But what did that matter? I wasn’t looking for a husband. I was looking for a date. And I got one. He was a good date. A damned good date.
I smiled to myself, still staring down at the card. When I finally looked up—
Bryce stood in front of me.
Chapter Thirteen
Bryce
Marjorie’s cheeks were flushed, and her hair was damp. She looked fresh and relaxed after her workout.
That flush probably covered her entire body, from the swells of her plump breasts down her flat tummy to the tops of her perfect thighs.
My mind edged to the jagged scar on her left thigh. I’d meant to ask her about it, but I never had.
“Where’s Henry?” she asked.
“Mom picked him up. He was getting fussy and he needed a nap.”

I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her against the brick of the building we stood next to. “I’ve tried, Marjorie. I’ve tried so hard to get you out of my head.”
“According to your note, I basically mean nothing to you, so I don’t see why it’s that hard, Bryce. Now if you’ll kindly let go—”
I couldn’t help myself. I captured her lips with my own.
Usually she opened without prompting, but not this time. I slid my tongue over the tight seam of her beautiful mouth, coaxing, coaxing, coaxing…
