They talked about boardgames and TV shows.

They talked about nothing important.

And it was fucking wonderful—all that he’d hoped for.

But then her phone chimed, and he remembered it was a weekday, that she had to go to work.

He might be going on four whole hours of footloose and fancy-free, but she had responsibilities.

So, they packed up their trash and he walked her to her car, and it spoke of how much progress they’d made, how much distance they’d covered that she didn’t protest, that she let him hold her hand.

That she let him press her against her car, run his hand along her side.

That she let him brush his lips over hers.

But eventually, he had to lift his head, had to let her go.

But, good God, he didn’t want to.

Which was probably why he asked, “You free for lunch?”

A flash of straight, white teeth. Humor in her bright, hazel eyes. “Is this what it’s going to be like to date an unemployed man?”

“Yup,” he said, kissing the tip of her nose.

Laughter that she let him taste on his tongue.

Then she pulled back.

And she smiled at him. “I can go for lunch.” Her fingers drifted across his jaw and then she turned, tugged open her door.

Legs in her car, fingers brushing his as she reached for her belt.

He pulled it over her, snapped it in place, took advantage of the fact that they were close, and kissed her again.

This time it wasn’t short, wasn’t just a taste.

It was a clash of teeth and lips and tongue. It was a dangerous kiss for a parking lot, for somewhere he couldn’t strip her naked and fuck her in every way he’d dreamed of.

Her cell went again, and he pulled back, bumping into the steering wheel, making the horn blow, the noise finally snapping him out of the haze.

“Dangerous woman.”

Her fingers on his jaw. “Dangerousman.” A beat. “I really have to go.”

He leaned back, crouching in the opening of her door. “I know.”

“Jeremy?”

He’d begun to straighten.

Her voice stopped him. “Yeah, baby?”

“What do you want to do?”

“You,” he answered without hesitation.

Lips twitching, she touched her jaw. “I meant, what do you want to do for work?”
