around his advice. “But I’m going to be late for work!” she told him, starting to panic now.
He almost rolled his eyes. “I’m on my way. Go out the back door, and I’ll drive you to work.”
“And the cupcakes?”
“History, honey. Sorry.” But he wasn’t. He was actually jealous of the moose as well as the kids in her class. She’d made cupcakes for them and he wanted one! Damn it, what was going on in his head?
Five minutes later, he pulled up at the street and saw Andie sprinting out of her back door. She was cute when she climbed over the fence and hurried down the yard. When she popped into his SUV, she smiled her thanks and he groaned as a fresh wave of lust hit him. “You’re really great to do this for me.”
He only grunted when he pulled away, unable to say anything since she was wearing a long skirt and boots, but he’d gotten a glimpse of her stocking covered leg. “Put your seat belt on.” Was he so seriously gone that he got turned on by the flash of a leg? It wasn’t even a bare leg! Her tights were opaque!
“Here,” she said as he drove down the street. “This is for you.”
He looked down at what she was holding out to him. He almost crashed when he saw the cupcake in a small box for him. “This is for me?” he asked, feeling something warm hit him inside.
“Of course I saved you a cupcake,” she said, shaking her head as if he shouldn’t have asked.
He opened the box with one hand while he steered the truck with his other. “What are you doing?” she asked, smacking his hand when he started to lift the cupcake out of the holder. “You can’t eat that now.”
“Why not?” he asked, avoiding her hand and taking half of it in his mouth. “Wow!” he mumbled when the sugar and cake hit him. “You’re amazing,” he mumbled around a mouthful of cupcake. He wished it was a mouth full of her breast, but he’d take what he could get.
She squirmed in her seat for a moment but he caught her blush. “Don’t talk with your mouth full,” she admonished, and tried to hide her smile of satisfaction when he complimented her cooking.
Andie sighed with frustration when he pulled into the parking lot of the school building. She wanted more time with Knox. She wanted to slide across the seat and kiss him, to feel that crazy stirring inside of her when they touched.
Her hand hesitated on the door handle, but she stopped when she felt him touch her arm. “Andie…” he started to say something but his eyes moved to her lips.
Her breath caught in her throat and she looked up at him, aware of the male power of his body, the way his green eyes felt like crystals when they glanced at her. And the male scent of his body, the clean soap and the slight woodsy smell of his cologne. “Knox,” she whispered back.
His hand moved slowly up her arm, his fingers curling against her neck. Andie waited, wondering what he was going to do. His fingers tightened and his gaze made her feel hot, sexy.
With strong hands he pulled her across the seat and into his arms. She went willingly, desperate for another taste of this man. When his lips covered hers, she gasped at the electricity, the heat that rushed through her body. His strong hands tilted her head, deepening the kiss even while she reached up and touched his cheek. She couldn’t deepen the kiss enough for her need and whimpered, wanting him to do so much more.
Everything inside of her wanted to curl up on this man’s lap, to revel in his amazing touch, the way he could make her feel. She wanted this heat, these sensations to continue forever.
Unfortunately, the bell ringing startled her and she looked around, surprised to find herself kissing Knox in the school parking lot.
“I have to go,” she said, but looked at his mouth with longing. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“Sorry?”
“For disrupting your morning,”
