Accurate. I’m just about to shower.
Sweetheart, you can’t say things like that to a man over text.
She replied with a kiss emoji and almost danced into the shower.
Jack was sexy and fun. He was just what she needed in her life. She had every intention of keeping her brothers out of the loop. Seriously, if they got a sniff of anything, they’d be like a dog with a bone. Especially if they learned who he was.
When she finished her shower and dried off, she sent Stella a message apologizing for not calling and promising to follow up with her in the morning. Then, pulling on a pair of sweatpants and a sweater, Amelia sat down on her vast four-poster bed and re-read Jack’s messages.
He had replied.
I will be dreaming of those lips tonight.
Tucking her feet under her, Amelia wished she was in his bed so she could feel his lovely, big arms wrapped around her. His nose nestled into her neck as he had been this morning.
This was insane.
She’d known him one day.
Blowing out a breath and reminding herself this was a quick, passionate affair and nothing more, she flopped back onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling.
Where are you taking me?Amelia texted back, not because she wanted to know but because she wanted to keep talking to him.
Her phone rang.
Facetime.
“Crazy man. Are you a boomer?” she teased, giving him a cheeky smile, aware she had zero makeup on and a messy bun.
“No, I’m a horny thirty-something man who wanted to hear your voice,” Jack smirked. “God, you look fuckable.”
“I’m not sure how to respond to that.” Amelia let out a laugh, thinking he, too, looked fuckable. “But you look pretty hot yourself.”
He did.
Jack was lying on his side, his blond hair mussed and those beautiful big blue eyes which mirrored hers. His cheeks had a little stubble slightly darker than his hair, making her fingers twitch to reach out and touch.
“We could have phone sex,” Jack offered.
“No. My brother is down the hall.” She coughed out her awkward laugh.
“Why? Is everything okay?” His voice turned concerned as his head lifted and damn her heart fluttered at his concern.
Amelia turned to her side. “Yeah, he just brings me dinner. Annoying like I said.”
“I think that’s called love.” Jack let out a laugh.
She shrugged and sent him a soft smile. The tiredness from the past twenty-four hours kicking in. They hadn’t slept much last night, nor had she stopped working all day.
“I’m glad you called.”
“Me too. Is it inappropriate to say I missed you today?” Jack asked, tucking a hand under his face.
“No. I thought about you a lot, too.”
“Oh, yeah?” Jack grinned as Amelia felt her cheeks warming. “Does that mean you won’t mind coming shopping with me tomorrow?”
“Sure. As long as it’s not for your wife and kids that you forgot to tell me about last night.”
