The grin on my face dimmed when he took a step toward me. My heart beat loudly in my chest. Jack from a distance was charming; Jack up close was intoxicating.
My hand shook as he handed me his cell phone. He was so close, it was almost impossible to think straight. I nervously programmed my number into his phone. I could feel his gaze on me as I looked down to the ground and handed it back to him.
His strong fingers reached under my chin and lifted it to meet his eyes. “Thank you for giving me a chance. I promise you won’t regret it.”
And with that, he turned and stepped into his big off-roader and drove away.
Once I got in my little Maxima, I banged my head on the steering wheel. Reentering the dating world would be a hell of a lot easier if I hadn’t been single for so long. As much as I wanted to get my feet wet again, I was afraid of what would happen if I wasn’t ready.
Something told me Jack Jenson was not the kind of guy I wanted to test the waters with. In fact, he was the exact opposite. I needed someone stable and a little bit more mature. Not that I was being judgy because he was handsome, charming, and financially well off. I’m sure he had a stable career, but the problem was, he seemed to have too much free time on his hands. He screamedI’m a good time only. Let’s have fun and fuck so I can show you how good I am and we’ll go our separate ways.And if I was lucky enough, maybe I’d get a booty call whenever he passed through town.
I grabbed my sunglasses off the visor and slipped them over my face, trying to block out images of his handsome face that kept floating around in my head. It was time to get home to the real love of my life, the only person in the world who mattered. My son.
