Made For Him
seduce her and then bask in her submission.
    "Are you heading there now?" Jessa asked, tossing the towel down onto the newspaper laden floor. She noticed the keys to the Silverado hanging loosely from his middle finger.
    "Where?" Tanner had drifted off in thought and lost the gist of the conversation.
    "The Carson house." Jessa raised an eyebrow at him.
    "Oh, yeah. Just to check around and make sure the crew got everything done. Eddie's been having some problems with the new tile guy and after the problems at the Willis house I want to make sure everyone has their damn ducks in a row." Tanner kicked his boot against the door frame.
    "Mind if I come with you?" Arms clean, she adjusted her belt and ran a hand over her hair, pulling out the elastic and causing a fiery landslide of raucous waves and curls down her back.
    Tanner felt his body respond to her shift from worker to temptress in under sixty seconds flat. His heart and cock couldn't handle it when she pulled that stunt. It sent both into overdrive.
    "Fine by me," he told her and waited for her to finish cleaning up the workspace.
    Ten minutes later she was inches from him in the truck, smelling like adhesive and gingersnaps.

    P ulling up to the newly rehabbed house, they decided it looked good from the outside. The landscaping was on point and the stone path was completed.
    "I love the colors out here," Jessa sighed, hopping down from the truck before Tanner had a chance to turn it off. She was in the middle of the flower bed and then off into the house before he got out of the truck. He loved her enthusiasm.
    When he entered the house after inspecting the roof and landscape, he found her on the living room floor with her sketch pad balanced on her knee drawing out a two-story tile and stone fireplace and adding detailed furnishings to the room.
    "Not sure the Carson's had any intention of adding a grand fireplace," Tanner leaned on the wall behind her, watching the sketch come to life in charcoal and lead.
    "Maybe not yet, but once they see how it will act as an anchor in the room and tie it all together they'll demand you put it in." Jessa didn't look up from her work as she answered him.
    "You think you can talk them into a $20,000 project like that?" Tanner raised his eyebrows doubtfully.
    Jessa looked up at him with a mischievous expression on her face "Do you know me at all, Tanner?"
    Tanner knelt down next to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
    "Maybe I need to get to know you a bit better,” he suggested softly.
    Jessa's gaze locked on his silvery green eyes. She hesitated as the urge to kiss Tanner's soft lips filled her mind. Her eyes darted back to her sketch in an attempt to mask the temptation she was feeling.
    "Oh?" She asked, adding unneeded shading to the chimney.
    'Tanner Coleman is not flirting with you right now,' she told herself sternly, trying to snap herself out of it.
    "Have dinner with me tomorrow, Jessalyn." It wasn't quite a question the way he spoke it.
    Could she have been wrong? Apparently so.
    "Really?" She asked, letting herself look up at him.
    "Yes, I'd like to get to know you better. I think you and I should have a stronger relationship. You never know, maybe you'll even have a good time," The sound of that laugh had always made the muscles in her stomach tense up in arousal.
    'How much better would be determined by how she handled their evening together,' Tanner thought.
    "Okay. Yeah, sure" Jessalyn wiped charcoal from her fingers, leaving black streaks on her jeans.
    When she stood up Tanner straightened. They were a breath away from kissing when Tanner's cell phone started ringing.
    He could have thrown it into the cement mixer.
    "Hello." He answered slightly more sternly that he intended.
    Jessa went out to the truck to wait while he finished up with his phone call with what sounded like the lumber yard. When Tanner came out and joined her he seemed to be deep in thought.
    Pulling into the office lot Tanner got out and
