The lady beside him made him curious, though. She didn’t seem to want anything at all, either.
Who is she?
Suddenly, his thoughts were on a singular track to finding out. He’d had strangers on their knees and begging to suck his cock in the same amount of time he’d spent trying to get that one little word from her. He knew how to work people like those, though. They’d expected him to play the part of the dom. The lady beside him didn’t. Regardless, that didn’t mean he couldn’t work her the way he wanted.
“How about a little more honesty for you?” He leaned against the door and tried to make himself a little less imposing to her, which was hard. He was well over six feet tall and was already calculating which maneuvers he’d used to get out of the tiny car without bruising his middle-aged hips.
Extending his hand to her to shake, he said, “Tim Dowd. I build high-end, custom boats for a living.”
Her eyes widened again, and her hand stopped midway to his. “You’re the Dowd behind Dowd Wave Cruisers? Your boats are all over the coast.”
He took the hand she extended halfway and gave it a gentle shake and squeeze. The skin of her warm had was nearly as soft as her face.
One less item to find out about.
She had pretty hands. Femininely tapered fingers. Elegant oval nails slicked with nude polish. Her grip was careful. He bet he’d have to teach a lady like her that she wouldn’t break his cock with a little squeeze. He’d show her how to grip him tight and then sit back and watch her make him spill all over that opaline manicure.
“Yep,” he said hoarsely and swallowed hard.Fuck, he wanted that. Wanted her hands on his secret places. Wanted to see how a lady who wore nude nights liked to play. “That’s me. Now would you please tell me your name? You’re beautiful. I’d like to talk you into letting me take you back to my place to fuck you tonight—because I’m all about honesty—and that seems like a natural next step.”
Her hand tensed inside his, but she didn’t pull it away. Her lips shaped soundless words and nose crinkled. As the start of some strained sound worked its way through her throat, there was a knock on the window behind him.
“It’s Carine, isn’t it?” he asked.
The lady in the car nodded.
“Who’s with her?”
“She’s alone.”
“Then she can wait. She keptyouwaiting, right? You gonna tell me? No strings attached if you do, but I meant what I said about taking you home.”
Her wary gaze flitted past Tim to the lady behind him back to Tim again, and she furrowed her brow. “Valerie Lawson.”
Valerie…
A stately name, he thought. It suited her.
“Truly?” he asked.
“Yes. No reason to lie. Why don’t you open the door and see what she wants?”
“Not gonna answer me about the other thing?”
“Do I look easy to you?”
“I don’t know what easy looks like, but I suspect you’re not it. I’ll give you a moment to think it over, though.”
He gave Valerie back her hand and opened the door a crack. “You find some gas?”
“No, and the tow guy I called can’t bring me any until tomorrow. I’d be better off finding someone here to drive me to an open gas station on their way out tonight.”
“Good luck with that way out here,” Tim said. “Most have the pumps turned off after nine.”
She rolled her eyes. “Can you drive us home? I’m not in the mood to stay and play tonight if no one’s feeling chivalrous beyond Heidi. I didn’t want her to end her evening early, though.” Carine made a sputtering sound and stared at the house over the rows of cars.
“Yep. I’ll drive you home.”
“Great. I won’t trouble you to bring me back in the morning, either.”
