chance to think of the perfect one-liner in response to that
suggestion.
Alex obviously didn’t intend for this to be a quick peck on the lips. His mouth stayed on hers, forcing her to slip her arms around his waist so she
didn’t lose her balance. He pulled her in close, wrapping his arms around her
shoulders as the kiss became deeper with his tongue sliding over her lips.
If this went on much longer she’d insist they really go home to the same bed. She’d forget all about her thing with sleeping with guys on
the day she’d met them, but then he made the choice for her.
“Sleep tight and sweet dreams.
I’ll see you in the morning.”
He opened the car door for her
and she slipped in, putting the key in the ignition and starting the car. He
waved and walked over to his truck.
The worst thing was he’d stirred her up, her panties were drenched, her pussy throbbed,
and she was going to have the most uncomfortable ride back to the apartment.
Chapter Four
A familiar smell greeted Alex when he entered McQuire’s Café the next morning His mom was obviously
cooking her famous waffles. Judging by the smiles on everyone’s face, things
were back to normal. He’d order those instead of his
usual Café Classic. He put his nose in the air one more time suddenly missing
both his dad and brother and thinking back to the days when they were still a
family, all seated around the kitchen table on a Saturday morning, which in the
Davis household had been waffle day.
Eva waved to him. She had her
hair tied up in a ponytail again, and tight black pants and a white t-shirt
completed her look. He walked over to her, remembering their kiss the night
before. Yeah, he’d paid the price for that. He’d had a hard-on for a full hour, and driving home had
been downright uncomfortable. In fact, since he’d gone
to see her at the doctor’s office, his cock had been in a constant state of
turmoil. Maybe tonight he’d put the erection to good
use. He found a table by the window and pulled out his newspaper.
“Morning, Sheriff,” said a man
sitting across the way to him.
“Morning.”
“Food’s a hell of a lot better
today.”
“Glad to hear that.”
Eva walked toward him with the
coffee carafe in her hand. She turned his mug over and filled it to the brim.
“So what can I get you today, Sheriff?”
She winked at him.
How about you?
“My mom doing
okay back there?”
“She is a huge hit and I think
she’s thinking about taking a job here.”
Now wouldn’t that be perfect. She’d had something else to occupy
her time and maybe she’d stop babying him.
“I take it she’s making her
famous waffles.”
“They melt in your mouth,” said
the man sitting opposite.
“I guess that’s what I’m having,”
said Alex. “Extra syrup and butter for me.”
“Now as your doctor, I should
warn you about too much cholesterol.”
She winked at him again. He
winked back almost wanting to slap her butt and order her into the kitchen to
get his waffles.
“I’ll get your order in straight
away.”
Alex watched as she headed toward
the kitchen. The pants pulled across her ass, and her cheeks bounced just a
tad. He’d never liked skinny girls. He liked his with
curves. Yeah, Eva was almost damn near perfect.
He flipped through the paper and
sipped his coffee. A few minutes later Eva placed a plate of waffles in front
of him.
“Here you go. And the butter and syrup. Anything else I can get you?”
“Not right now, but when you’re
passing again, maybe you can top up my coffee.”
“Sure, and you’ll be glad to hear
that we’ve already collected one hundred and fifty dollars in the donation
jar.”
He nodded. That was a great
start. He watched Eva walk away again. It was also a great start to the day.

“Oh, she’s so cute,” said Eva,
looking at the tenth photo that Alex’s mom had handed her of her granddaughter
Sasha. She wondered just how many more the woman had in her purse. Not
