Free Just Sex by Heidi Lynn Anderson Page B

tonight after Sam’s asleep?”
    “He won’t be asleep until late. We have to pack for Maine.”
    Shit. The reminder of not seeing her over Thanksgiving crushed his good mood. “I’m trying to forget the fact that you are leaving.”
    “It’s only for a week.” She pressed her soft lips to his.
    J.J. grabbed Kat, lifted her off her feet and stepped to the bed. His cell signaled again. “Shit.” He placed her down. “I have to go.”
    She sent him a sexy smile that just set his groin on fire. “Go.”
    For the first time since he opened Elite Lawns, he hated his job. J.J. sent a text to his foreman to let him know he was on his way and took one last look at Kat. “Have a good time.”
    He heard her snort as he left the room. “You don’t know my mother.”
    * * * * *
     
    Exhaustion washed over Kat. She’d spent the whole day after J.J. left her, all hot and bothered, setting up her home. It now looked like the comfortable showplace she always wanted. She placed a sweater in her suitcase and zipped it.
    Kat wanted to call J.J. just to hear his voice, but she didn’t want to seem desperate. Her core still tingled from the mind-blowing orgasm he gave her. J.J. opened something inside her. “Is this what dating is like in the new millennium?” They had yet to go out, which was for the best.
    She didn’t want him to be the topic of gossip. This morning, after he left, it hit her that he was twelve the last time she went out on a date.
    Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Kat jumped and glanced at her watch. “Eleven o’clock. Who’s calling this late?” She retrieved her cell and smiled at the readout. “Hello.”
    “Hi, sexy.”
    Happiness engulfed her. “How are you?”
    “I’m fine. Would you like some company?”
    “I would love some, but I’m getting everything ready for Amy Mayfield. Sam and I are leaving for Maine tomorrow.”
    “Amy Mayfield?”
    “Yes. Do you know her?”
    The doorbell rang.
    “Yeah, we went to high school together. I’ll have to stop by and say hi.”
    The ugly green monster clawed his way into Kat’s heart. “I need to go.” Kat walked to the front door. “Someone’s at the door.” She pulled it open. J.J. stood on the other side.
    Her heart jumped into her throat. “What are you doing here?” She hung up her cell phone.
    A cocky grin split his handsome features. “Can I come in?” J.J. yanked her against him and kissed her hard. He stepped back and looked around. “Wow, this is nice.”
    Pride bloomed in her chest. “Thank you. Would you like a tour?”
    “Absolutely.”
    Kat led him through the house, showing him every room. She stopped at the door to Sam’s room. He slept under his new soft comforter he’d picked out himself. It matched the newly painted blue walls. She turned and saw an odd look run over J.J.’s handsome features. “Would you like some wine?”
    J.J faced her. “What?” His eyes cleared and he focused on her.
    “Would you like some wine?”
    “Sure.” He took her by the hand and headed back downstairs.
    She knew she could never satisfy the longing on his face. “Make yourself at home in the living room. I’ll get the wine.”
    “Do you need help?”
    She turned to go in the kitchen. “No.”
    He grabbed her and tugged her to him. Her body hit his and her breasts pressed against his chest. Power surged through them. “God, Kat.” He latched his mouth to hers.
    Her lips parted with surprise and he took full advantage and explored her mouth with his tongue. Kat’s arms wrapped around his neck as need washed over her. She kissed him with fervor. Kat wanted to show J.J. how much she wanted him. She pressed her hips into his. His denim-clad cock hardened against her stomach.
    J.J. groaned and rested his forehead to hers. “You better get that wine.”
    “Be right back.”
    Nerves attacked her. What are you doing? You can’t do this. You can’t give him what he wants. She made her way to the small wine cooler and opened
