Unlocking my front door, I swing it open and hit the switch beside my alarm on the wall to unlock the electric gates, granting him access.
He spins around to face me.
He didn't know I’d figured out he was standing outside my home.
“That this isn’t a one-sided decision. You didn’t let me decide or have my say. You made a decision that involved two people and I disagree with you.” I stand inside the open doorway.
He walks slowly up my drive, his phone still glued to his ear.
“What don’t you agree with?” His eyes sparkle under the moonlight.
“Not giving us a shot. You didn’t ask me if I wanted to see what would happen between us. Or at least consider being exclusive. You wouldn’t be breaking your stupid self-inflicted ban either. You’d be embracing a new adventure with someone who might just end up being your forever.” I test him. “And what if it is only six weeks of fun? Does it matter? Where did your sense of adventure go? We only get one chance in life, and if we make mistakes, then we’ll make them together. But you will never know if you don’t try.”
“I think I would need more than six weeks with you.”
On my doorstep now, he stares down at me in my purple pajama booty shorts and lilac tank top. I’m suddenly conscious that I have very bare legs, no bra on, and the girls are facing south.
And he’s still holding his phone to his ear, even though we are only two feet apart.
“I want more than six weeks with you too, but you might turn out to be a complete asshole. You were an eighth of an asshole tonight.”
He gives a genuine chortle, finally lowering his phone. I lower mine too.
He hits the end button and tucks it into his back pocket.
“Just an eighth?”
I lift one shoulder up to my ear. “Meh, the rest of the night was okay.”
“So seven eighths of the night was just okay?”
“Yeah, I suppose.” I tease him, then I put us back on course. “Also, it’s been a very long time since I had sex too. Six weeks of it together could be fun. You mentioned something earlier about more than once a day. Where do I sign?” I smirk. I may be a little self-conscious of my body, but I love sex. When it’s good, it’s good. I just haven’t had it good for such a long time. It was years ago at university with a guy named Daniel, so very many moons ago now. I’ve waited long enough. It’s my time now.
Lincoln has shared his innermost thoughts about me, too. He likes me as I am, and I find that so sexy and sweet at the same time.
I am Violet West and I have a banging hourglass, perfect body.
I’m writing that affirmation on a sticky note so I can reaffirm it to myself every day. Screw my sister for making me feel less than I am.
He shakes his head. “You, Violet West, have thirty-foot poles that are your nemesis, but you are my undoing.”
“Your leap of faith?”
“Yeah.”
I hold out my hand.
“Are you taking it? Or are we going to play a game of verbal gymnastics all night?”
CHAPTER 10
Violet
He doesn’t take it.
Instead, he steps toward me, moving inside my house, coaxing me to take a step backward, then with one foot, flamingo style, he closes the door behind him and the automatic catch locks us in.
He launches himself at me, crashing his lips against mine, hard, while simultaneously lifting me into the air and into his arms. My phone slips out of my hand, falling to the floor. I don’t even care if it broke.
