eyes. “I’m offering on a purely selfish basis. The sooner you deliver, the sooner you can take a break for lunch. Now, are you going to argue or are we going to deliver?” His hand slipped lower to cup her ass.
She brushed his hand away, her cheeks burning. “I haven’t had time to get a fresh pair, in case you’re wondering.” And she didn’t want him to know just how turned on she was, which would be apparent if he got anywhere close to her drenched pussy. What would he think if he knew she’d just come in her workroom? Would he want to stay and go for round two?
Her heart fluttered. God, she wanted him. The sun shining through the front window of the shop served as a reminder that she had a job to do, and making love in the back of her flower shop wasn’t going to get it done. “Okay, then, let’s go.” She ducked beneath his arm, grabbed a box lined with vases and handed it to him before he could put his arms around her again. Bunny hefted another box of arrangements and hurried toward the front door before she could change her mind. She flipped the Open sign to Closed and held the door for Jack.
He winked at her as he passed.
Her heart racing, Bunny locked the front door and climbed into the driver’s seat of her van, while Jack settled into the passenger seat. “I thought you had to work today.”
“Tonight. Got the four to midnight shift.”
“Shouldn’t you be resting?”
“I’m good.” He grinned at her and nodded toward the windshield. “Where to first?”
Bunny drove off, happy to have the help, but nervous the entire time, smoothing the hem of her dress down every time she got out of the van. A pesky Texas breeze picked up, ruffling her skirt with every step she took.
Jack had a perpetual smile on his lips every time his gaze locked in on her legs right below her hem.
Half the time Bunny wanted to slap the lecherous look from his face, the other half of the time, she couldn’t hold back the jolt of desire the heat in his eyes inspired. By the time they got to the last order, it was one thirty and, though her stomach growled, she couldn’t wait to get back to the shop, take Jack to the back room and rumble.
Mrs. Diffee smiled at Jack as she accepted the huge arrangements she’d ordered for the church. “Jack, honey, when did you start workin’ for Ms. Bunny?”
“When I noticed what pretty legs she has.” He winked at the older woman and she blushed. “You have a nice day, now, ya hear?”
Mrs. Diffee blushed and waved them away. “Oh, Jack, you’re a scamp.”
When Bunny climbed back into the van, her heartbeat ratcheted up and settled into overdrive.
“That’s it?” Jack looked at the back of van filled with empty boxes and clapped his hands together. “Time for lunch.”
Bunny shook her head. “I have to get back to the shop and work on tomorrow’s orders or I’ll never get done in time to go to the Garden Club meeting.”
Jack frowned. “But I wanted to take you on a picnic.”
“I’m sorry. I just don’t have time.” And she really wanted to go with him. She hadn’t been on a picnic since she was a little girl and her parents were still alive. “You really didn’t have to do all this. The date I won at auction wasn’t intended to last a couple days.”
“This has nothing to do with the auction. I want to get to know you better.” He stared out the front window a little longer, his forehead creased, a shadow passing over his eyes, then his dark brows rose and the sun returned to his face. “Actually, this works out even better. If you can’t go on a picnic, I’ll bring it to you.”
Bunny glanced at him. “What?”
He smiled her way. “Eyes front. Someone’s gotta drive this boat, and Wally would like to live another day.”
She looked back at the road in time to swerve and miss a golden retriever crossing the pavement. “Whew.” With both hands firmly on the steering wheel and her gaze forward, Bunny made the rest of the trip to
