got that right! I could get used to this.” Elle said breathless as her fingers briefly touched her lips.
    “I didn’t mean for that to happen but I’m not sorry it did.” Trevor said as he looked into Elle’s eyes.
    “I didn’t either and neither am I. We were pretty good at that.” Elle said hoping she wasn’t the only one who thought so.
    “That’s an understatement!”
    Trevor pulled her close for another quick kiss but ended up nipping at her mouth on the corners first then finally gave her one last kiss on her lips that she ever so willingly accepted.
    He added with a wink and a smile. “I probably should get going now thanks for tonight.” Then reached for the door.
    She walked him out the door and stood on her porch as he made his way to his truck. She said, “This was fun,” right before he got in his truck. As Trevor pulled out of her driveway Elle wasn’t sure what the heck had just happened but was so happy it did -- the whole night in fact. It was a really good night that felt like a dream. She was definitely going to have to thank Taylor for this one.
    On Trevor’s drive home he wasn’t sure when the night took a turn to go his way, he thought it was when Ellewalked in the door at McDucker’s but maybe it was when both of their friends had to leave early. He was sure of one thing even more so than before, she was one hell of a woman and he really liked her. He also realized he had it bad and was almost definitely in over his head.
    Elle was getting ready for bed when she got Trevor’s text saying he made it home safely he added in, “goodnight, sleep well. Can’t wait to see you again.” It made the smile plastered on her face even wider if that was possible. She realized just how much she liked him and liked being with him, what a weird, amazing turn of events.

he following Thursday morning, Trevor woke up later then he planned but still had time for his usual jog, just a shorter version, in the park with Bruiser. He grabbed a breakfast shake before he left and couldn’t help but think about Elle. He hadn’t seen her in a week and he felt like he was going crazy not being able to see her. He was happy it was Thursday and that all his appointments today were on the lighter side and later in the day, because he had to admit he was tired. But tomorrow he didn’t have any appointments so he had taken the day off. His guys could handle the weekend projects without him, they could always call if they had any problems or needed him. He fed Bruiser while he finished his shake, then they were off.
    Elle got up that morning and had her usual breakfast of Greek yogurt and fruit. She was getting ready to run on her treadmill but it was so nice out she decided to run in the park. She didn’t usually run outside it made her feelself-conscious, walking outside was more her thing. But she couldn’t waste the good mood she was in or the nice weather. She was really feeling good about things today.
    Elle hadn’t seen Trevor, since the night at the bar. Friday she had meetings all day and this week she’d been busy going over notes and making plans on how to find the saboteur, keep his clients and prevent this from getting out or from happening again. She also had to work for her other clients and find time in there somewhere to exercise or she’d combust from all the stress. They had emailed about work and he did text her quite a few times with cute messages like, “I had fun the other night”, “miss you”, “want to see you again soon” and “want to get together again outside of work”. She was glad it was Thursday and her dinner night with Taylor, she needed to talk to her girlfriend about everything that happened after she left McDuckers last week. She was dying to see Trevor again; he made her feel happy and gave her butterflies in her stomach.
    Trevor was running with Bruiser at his side like always, he was on the last few miles of his usual run. When he thought he saw someone who
