She laughed. “You look more like trouble.”

He leaned close and murmured, “Trouble can be fun, sweetheart.”

Roni shivered and wondered if she was finally in over her head.

After updating her virus protection, Jake gave her his jacket to wear, effectively covering her see-through blouse, and took her to a fast-food restaurant. Jake had insisted that everyone should eat a burger and fries from time to time. He’d winked and said it would be un-American otherwise. She hadn’t gone out for hamburgers with a man since high school. Fast food tended to be a solitary event for her. Watching Jake wrap his strong, capable hands around the cheeseburger and take a large bite shouldn’t have been a turn on. Jake made it seem sexy as hell. An image of him holding her breast in the same manner and nibbling on her nipple had her squirming in her hard plastic seat.

“You’re blushing,” he said as he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.

“I never blush.”

“Do too. You’re doing it right now. What’s in that pretty little head of yours, Roni?”

“You are,” she stated boldly as she swirled a fry in a pool of ketchup. It wasn’t her way to play coy with a man.

He chuckled. “You aren’t the shy type, are you?”

“Not usually. If I see something I want, I go for it. I see no reason to pretend.”

“And do you want me, sweetheart?”

Jake was turning out to be quite a surprise. Without realizing it, he’d stumbled onto her one real desire. To be with a man who didn’t feel the need to treat her like fine china. The bet she’d made with Lydia and Jeannette came to mind and she realized this was her chance to make her fantasy a reality. She wanted to get down and dirty with a man. Roni had a feeling Jake could do dirty really well.

“Yes, I want you,” she candidly replied.

Jake’s expression changed, turned dangerous, his gaze darkening as he pushed his hamburger aside. “You know how to push a man, don’t you, Roni?”

She kept swirling the fry in the ketchup and asked, “Are you saying you don’t want me?”

He leaned across the table and took the fry out of her hand, then held it out for her. Roni opened her lips and let him feed it to her. He watched in silence until she finished the deep-fried treat. “You want the bald truth, is that it?”

“Please,” she whispered, her throat suddenly dry.

“I want to strip you naked, taste every inch of you for about an hour, then fuck that hot little pussy until the sun comes up.”

Roni’s eyes widened in shock even as liquid heat pooled between her thighs. “And you think I’ll go home with you? Just like that?”

“You don’t strike me as the type to play games.” He paused, then murmured, “Are you afraid, Roni?”

“No, I’m not afraid. Should I be?”

“I’d never hurt you,” he promised. “I wouldn’t do anything you didn’t want.”

Trying to act nonchalant, Roni slid her hand across the table and touched his arm. She’d ached to feel his powerful muscles beneath her fingertips from the moment he’d sat at her computer. She stroked upward, teasing them both. When his gaze narrowed, Roni smiled. “Yes, I want you. But first I’d like to know more about you.”

“I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

Roni drew her hand away and picked up another fry, pointing it at him. “You own your own business. How long?”

“I opened my doors five years ago. It was tough going at first, but I’m doing well enough now that I’ve been thinking of opening another office up north.”

“Do you enjoy being a computer geek?”

He tilted his head to the side. “Do you enjoy being a shrink?”

Roni laughed. “Touché.”
