“I don’t like head games.”
“Good, I hate them.” So far, Madison was perfect for him. He was more than ready to get her the hell away from here and have her all to himself.
“What if I wanted to take you somewhere else for dessert?”
“I’d like that.”
“You’d come?”
“A hot man and a delicious dessert. Why should I refuse?”
He flashed her a wide smile. “Why do I get the feeling you’re going to be trouble?”
She shrugged. “Spend some time with me and find out.”
“That’s definitely on my agenda. Do you need to say goodbye to your girls? Tell them you’re leaving with me?”
“They’ve got eyes. But I should text my dad and tell him I’ll be a while. Then…I’m yours for as long as you want me.”
“That’s dangerous, honey. What if I want more than dessert?”
Madison sent him a flirty glance through the thick fringe of her lashes. “Ask me and see.”
“Fair enough. Grab your purse and let’s get out of here.”
With a sly smile, she swayed off the dance floor to the rhythm of the music. Matt watched her walk, her ass taut in a tight, backless dress that had him swallowing his tongue. She really was damn fine, and he wished like hell he’d taken Tessa up on her offer to introduce them months ago. Zy’s wife was pretty in a golden, big-eyed sort of way. But Madison… If there was such a thing as a sultry good-girl, she was it. The woman absolutely flipped his switch. When he looked at her, his whole body sparked to life. The fact they clicked when they talked excited him even more.
As soon as she plucked her purse off the table, she faced him again. “You lead. I’ll follow in my car.”
“Come with me. We’ll swing back and pick up your car later.”
“Can’t. They’ll tow me out of here once this event is over, and in case dessert lasts longer than expected…”
She was thinking ahead, and Matt loved it. “Good call.”
Hand-in-hand, they headed for the exit. On the way, they passed the EM Security crowd. Nash watched them with brows raised.
“The redhead’s name is Haisley,” Matt murmured in his ear. “You’re welcome.”
Then he and Madison emerged into the late afternoon, warm and humid with the promise of the coming summer. But for now, the sun gave just enough sizzle to heat his skin and make him feel stunningly alive.
“Know a good place for dessert?” she asked as she pulled her keys from her little clutch.
“You’re the local. I’ll defer to you.”
“Do you want something decent or downright decadent?”
“Definitely decadent. I want the whole experience.”
“Smart man. Follow me.”
When she started sashaying across the parking lot, giving him another fine view of her backside, he wrapped his fingers around her slender arm. With that one touch, every part of his body turned hard. “Where are we going, in case we get separated?”
Madison tossed him a little smile over her shoulder. “Keep up and we won’t.”
With a bounce of her long curls over her sexy, bare shoulder, she headed to a little burgundy sedan. Never taking his eyes off of her, he hopped into his truck, turned the engine over, and hauled ass to follow.
Together, they wended through Lafayette’s late-afternoon weekend traffic, heading south of town, until the thick of the cars thinned out and even residential streets turned rural. Twenty minutes later, she pulled into a parking lot behind a stately, historic house with rising white columns and a profusion of brightly colored flowers.
