My heels clicked when I rounded to the other side of the van. Lincoln was out, and Eric peered inside.
“Hey, sis. How do we know which one is Mrs. Johnson’s?”
Boxes were topsy-turvy in the back. My temper tantrum was going to cost us time, but hopefully none of our product.
“We’ll just have to dig it out. Like an Easter egg hunt,” I said with forced brightness.
“Fun!” Eric leaped into the back and began sorting boxes.
Heat warmed my back.
That crazy good scent filled my nose.
Warm breath hit my ear. “I don’t have a honey-bunny.”
I shivered and clutched a stray box I’d picked up. When I turned my head, a close-up view of a strong, stubbled jaw greeted me. I hadn’t been this close to a guy since high school. That was a long time ago, and Lincoln was no teenage boy. He was all man.

My phone vibrated against my thigh from the front pocket of my dress. I scrambled for it, accidentally brushing against him in my haste. It was a sensory overload. He was too close, and that touch sent a shot of lightning zipping through me.
I checked the caller ID and didn’t recognize the number. Being in business for ourselves meant no call went unanswered.
“Hello.” My voice was breathless, affected. I hated Lincoln heard what he’d caused.
“Hi, baby doll. Daddy’s out of jail and needs to see you. Now.”
