Owen stood so close to me now that I took in his scent, a fresh and clean fragrance that fit him well. Lifting a tip of a finger to one of the red buttons on his polo, I tapped it as I said, “What areyoudoing tonight, Mr. Nosy. Can you breakyourplans?”

“I wish. I have a work meeting and then we are headed to a restaurant with some out of town clients for a few drinks.”

“Ah, I see. Well, how about we exchange numbers and I’ll let you know when I get back. Maybe we can get together then.” He gave me his business card and I slid it into the pocket of my black pencil skirt. “Okay, I’ll hang on to this little guy. See you later!” I pushed off the truck, but he grabbed my arm and stopped me before I could take a step.

“Jake’s Pub, in Garner,” he told me. “It’s right beside the…”

“I know where it is.”

“That’s where we’ll be. Maybe I can run into you there accidently tonight, say nine?”

Glancing back at him as coyly as I could, I said, “Maybe,” then walking away, I swayed my hips and flung my ponytail over my shoulder.

“Jesus Christ,” he swore and I felt empowered.

There was a certain adrenaline rush I got from shamelessly flirting, especially with someone as delicious as Owen. I only hoped I would be able to do so much more than that when I saw him again.
