was two questions. Second, you’re on vacation. I’m not talking about work with you. If someone needs you, they know how to find you.”
“Fair enough.” Ryan was quiet for a second. “I guess the world is still spinning then.”
“Ring around the fucking rosie. Enough stalling. Tell me about Cody.”
Ryan could picture Madison sitting at her desk, chewing on a pencil, dying to drag all of the sordid details out of her. “Well, we went to the beach yesterday, hung out with a bunch of his friends…”
“Okay, are you going to get to the good stuff or what?”
“Are you only interested in whether or not he’s a good kisser?”
“And if he’s got a smoking hot body.” Madison added and Ryan knew she was 100 percent serious.
“Yes, Mad, he is a very good kisser. And you would not have been disappointed when he took his shirt off.”
“Woohoo!” Madison nearly screamed in the phone.
Ryan really hoped the girl was at home and not in the office. “Oh, shut it, Mad.” Ryan could feel herself blush even though she was alone and no one could see her.
“It’s about time you find yourself some hunky dude that treats you right. He did treat you right, right? If not, I’ll come down there and kick his ass.”
Ryan laughed. “Yes, Mad, he was a perfect gentleman.”
That is, if gentlemen kissed like that.
“Are you going to see him again?”
“I am,” Ryan said and Madison could hear the smile in her voice. “In fact, he’s coming to pick me up in about ten minutes. He’s running late, which is why I had time to call you.”
“I see, ditching your friends already?”
Ryan laughed. “No. I ended up running some errands and stuff this morning, and then had a late lunch with Abby. I think I’ve told you about her.”
“Wasn’t she the girl you hung out with on your vacations when you were younger?”
“Yep, that’s her. You’d love her. She is totally down to earth and can make me pee my pants I laugh so hard.”
“That’s cool. Glad you had a chance to catch up with her.”
“Yeh, me, too.” Ryan heard a door slam. “Hey, Mad, I think Cody is here so I need to go.”
“Okay. Have fun tonight. And don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!”
“Umm, Mad? That would leave me with a lot of options.”
“Exactly! Let me know how it goes. If you happen to walk down his happy trail, I’m definitely going to want details!”
“Oh my God, Mad!”
“Love you, girl! Have fun and don’t forget your raincoat!”
“Don’t you mean his raincoat?”
Ryan heard Madison make a kissing mwah sound in the phone and the line went dead.
She is such a shit!
Laughing to herself, Ryan walked to the door to greet Cody. She hadn’t realized just how excited she was to see him until he was standing on the other side of the glass. He had on his ball cap, of course, backwards this time, a dark green t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts. The color of his shirt made his eyes appear darker than they had been the day before. She opened the door.
“Hi,” Ryan said, a smile on her face.
Cody didn’t say anything. Instead, he wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her to him, and pressed his lips to hers.
He had been looking forward to this moment all day.
When he pulled back, he left his arm around her waist and smiled. “Hi.”
Ryan looked fucking gorgeous. She had pulled her hair into a side ponytail so it laid over one shoulder and was wearing two tank tops, one blue, the other white, and a pair of denim shorts. He was going to have a hard time keeping his hands off her tonight.
“Well, hello to you, too.” Ryan grinned and gave him a light kiss.
“Sorry I’m late. You ready to head out?” Cody asked. If he was being honest with himself, he would have been more than happy to forget the sunset and walk her straight up the stairs and spend the night kissing her and introducing himself to every part of her body. Yes, he wanted to get to know her better, but there was a magnetic
