concerned.”
    “Oh, no. Please. I’m glad you asked. I mean,
thank you for your concern. I…I’d better go now.”
    He nodded politely and in a gentlemanly
fashion rose as she, too, got up from her seat.

 
CHAPTER SIX

 
 
    Blue drove down the main road heading into the
city, still breathing hard. Her mind was reeling with delight from the passionate
kiss with Zack, the electric sensation dancing through her body. She could not
believe what had just transpired.
    Zack
Romero. The notorious playboy with a hard-ass body.
    Have
mercy, Lord. This man is simply exquisite in every way. Unforgettable. That’s
what this day will be. Unforgettable.
    She pressed her right foot on the gas,
glancing at the display clock on her dashboard of her Ford. She also caught the
fuel gauge and realized she should have filled up her tank before leaving
Mayberry Hill. But it would only be another thirty-five minutes before she
would be back in the city. She could refuel at the station near her apartment. The
sky was turning a musk color as the late afternoon turned to early evening. Her
cell phone buzzed and she instinctively reached for it on her seat. She often
placed it by her seat when she was driving so she could see the display in case
it was a call from her sister. Whenever she left the phone in her purse while
driving, she would let it ring so that she didn't end up taking her eyes off
the road to fish for it.
    Of course, she could just learn to use her Bluetooth,
which would solve all matters.
    The caller was an unknown number. Again.
She carefully kept her eyes on the road while reaching over and grabbing the
phone then hitting the answer button and speaker option.
    “Hello?” she answered but the caller hung
up.
    Again.
    It had happened quite a few times in the
past week alone. She wondered if it was a wrong number and the person on the
other end of the line realized it then dialled the intended number.
    Blue shrugged then replaced the phone on
the passenger seat. There were very few cars on this stretch of road going into
the city. It wasn’t a very busy road considering. But she didn’t mind being
able to drive to the limit with little traffic on the road. The window of her
Ford was cracked open and the breeze from the speed of the vehicle whisked her
hair and cooled her skin. The air conditioner wasn’t working so she was glad to
have the gentle breeze from outside.
    She enjoyed clear summer days. Blue relished
in the thought of no cares for a change. She guessed the magic of excitement
did that to a person. Inner excitement over having this wonderful
opportunity to work with her new boss—or client, however she looked at
it. This was her first major assignment since starting her fledgling production
company.
    Zack Romero.
    “God, you’re incredible, Zack,” she said to
herself, grinning from ear to ear.
    Blue's mind drifted back to his alluring
face and delicious appeal. Oh, if only she could be with a man like that. She
knew that was farfetched. He clearly was a bachelor for life. She’d read about
him beforehand. He had given interviews a while back about not being a marrying
man. Not that she could possibly have a chance with him.
    But, oh, he kissed her. It was as if a part
of him stayed with her. The soft tingle of his lips on hers was pleasantly
memorable. Zack Romero had kissed her.
    Zack had a compelling presence.
Mesmerizing. He had that special something about him. Blue couldn’t quite put
her finger on it. But it wasn’t often she met a man who had that raw electrical
effect on her. When he shook her hand earlier in the day, there was a surge of
power that coursed through her veins. The man oozed charisma from every pore of
his body. His hands were strong yet smooth. His eyes, so
captivating. She had a chance to finally be up close with him and her
body reacted in such a surprising way. Her mind turned to scrambled eggs for
one thing. All she could do was gush uncontrollably at his masculine
