    “What would you like to do today?”   Cade asks, while pouring the batter for the pancakes into the pan.
     
    “I’m not sure, but I was considering renting a car, so that I don’t have to rely on you or Jake all the time.”
     
    Cade quickly glances over to me, “You don’t need to do that, driving you around and showing you where I live is certainly no hardship.”  He flips a pancake, “I like spending time with you, unless you really would like a bit more independence, in which case, I’ll take you to sort out a car.”
     
    “If you really don’t mind, then I’ll leave it for now.”   I smile, “I like spe winding time with you too.”
     
    “Now that’s settled, breakfast is ready.   Let’s eat and we can talk about what to do later.”  Cade carries the platter of food over to the table, “I need to reply to some emails and make a couple of calls, after that we can head out someplace, if you like?”
     
    “I’d like that.”
     
    Having eaten some of my pancakes which are delicious.  I look at Cade, “You make the best pancakes, mine always end up thick and stodgy.”
     
    With laughter in his eyes, “It’s all in the wrist.”
     
    “Ha,” as intended I start to laugh, and then feeling wicked, licking my lips very slowly and in a seductive voice, “That’s what they all say.”
     
    Cade’s eyes darken while watching me lick my lips.  Standing up, he walks over; picking me up from the chair he places me on the table and moves to stand between my thighs.  Threading his fingers through my hair, he holds my head cradled in his hands.  I put my arms around his waist, “Teasing has consequences,” he threatens, a breadth away from my lips.
     
    With a wicked grin, “I’m ready when you are.”  Wiggling in his hold, I slowly move my hands down to his rear, bringing him even closer.  I can feel his erection against my stomach as his lips reach for mine in one hell of a kiss.  Our tongues start to dance.  I squeeze his butt.  Cade curses as he pulls away slightly, taking air into his lungs.  “We better stop this; Jake will be here in a minute.”
     
    Helping me from the table, he leans towards me and places a chaste kiss on my lips.  
     
    Going back to our breakfast, I decide I still have a bit of wickedness left in me this morning and can’t seem to stop myself, “One of these days there will be no interruptions, I hope you know what you’re going to do to me then?”   I give him a saucy smile, “because I know exactly what I’m going to do to you, and it involves my mouth licking.... and sucking on....”
     
    Leaving the sentence hanging, I catch the shock on Cade’s face.   I start laughing, changing the subject, “These eggs are good too.”
     
    With shaking hands, Cade manages to put his cup of coffee down without sloshing too much over the table, “Are you trying to kill me?” he asks, in a strangled voice.
     
    Still laughing, “At least you would die happy!”
     
    Picking his coffee back up, laughing himself now, “Minx!”
     
    Our laughter is broken by my phone.
     
    I only switched it back inched it on when I woke early this morning and dealt with the emails that had come through, plus voice messages.   They were all mainly from Nick and he was becoming a pain.  Without reading his to me, I emailed him telling him to stop with the messages and to leave me alone.
     
    Excusing myself from Cade, I dash back to the kitchen to retrieve my phone from the breakfast bar, not recognizing the number, I send it to voicemail.  Not two seconds later it starts to ring again, same number.  Figuring I might as well answer, frowning, “Hello.”
     
    “Rona.... is that you?”   Nick .  I was speechless and at the same time I shouldn’t have been considering how many voicemails he’s left and emails.
     
    I look towards Cade, “Yes, it’s me.   What do you want?”
     
    “Are you in Jackson? Can we meet?.... just to talk,
