“My mother loves flowers as well,” Felina followed Lucas through the door.
He waited for her, then turned to lock it behind them.
Felina’s heart skipped a beat and then settled.He wasn’t going to seduce her.He was only keeping her safe.
His loss.
She wondered how she could be so sexually aware of this man after breaking up with her boyfriend only a couple of short weeks ago.
Probably because they hadn’t had sex in months.Sadly, she hadn’t missed sex with Marty.How had she let their relationship wallow for so long without doing anything about it?She’d thought that perhaps she wasn’t a sexually motivated woman or maybe even a little frigid.
Following Lucas into the flower shop, she was feeling anything but frigid.
The man had broad shoulders that pulled his T-shirt taut across his chest and emphasized the thickness of his biceps.As broad as his chest was, it narrowed significantly to a trim waist and tight ass.
Her mouth watered much like Pavlov’s dog.
Lucas chose that moment to turn and caught her staring at his ass.
His lips curved.“Like what you see?”
Her cheeks flamed.“Don’t know what you’re talking about.”She flipped her hair over her shoulder and started to pass him.
He held out an arm and clothes-lined her.
Her chest bumped into his arm.“What?”
Lucas shook his head.“Let me clear the building before you go any further.”
“Seriously, it’s okay.I’ve worked and lived in this building alone for the past five years.I’ve never encountered a boogeyman in all five of those years.”
He pressed a finger to her lips.“Humor me.”
She wanted to take the finger into her mouth.Instead, she backed away.“Fine.Do your thing.But make it quick.I have to be up at five in the morning to get my orders ready.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he said with a mock salute.Then he disappeared into the back of the shop.A moment later, footsteps sounded on the stairs leading up to her apartment.
Felina frowned, trying to remember if she’d made her bed and if she’d loaded the dirty dishes into the dishwasher that morning.Then she remembered the lace panties she’d hung to dry on the shower curtain rod and winced.
Then again, maybe those panties would inspire Lucas to stay a little longer.
No, no, no.Don’t go there.Even if he wants it, we shouldn’t.
She had to remind herself again that he was her employee, not a real date.She couldn’t take advantage of him past the original agreement.Sex was not on the table.
Although, her worktable in the back of the shop was certainly big enough to accommodate them...
Felina closed her eyes.Hell, she’d gone way too long without satisfying an itch.It was time to break out B.O.B.—her battery-operated boyfriend.
Hmm.She’d need to change the batteries.They were so old they probably wouldn’t work.
“Felina?”
Her eyes popped open.
Lucas stood in front of her, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.“Were you asleep on your feet or concentrating hard on something?”
Heat rose up her neck and suffused her cheeks.“Just thinking about what I had to accomplish before tomorrow’s deliveries.”Including finding batteries.
