She wiped her hand on the side of her dress and tried again.
    “Backward,” Jake said. “You push it backward.”
    “Oh.” Erin stared at the door handle, wishing it had opened the first time. Wishing she could skip all the in-between bits and get naked with Jake. She wanted to look confident, in control, not scared silly that she was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.
    She scrunched the bottom of her skirt in her hands, holding it away from her legs. Skidding on the edge of her dress and falling flat on her face wouldn’t look confident, it would look ditzy.  
    She made it safely to the ground. “I like your garage.”
    Jake moved around the back of his truck. “It’s…well…it’s a garage.” He waved toward a pile of boxes stacked in one corner. “I’ve still got some unpacking to do. Do you want a cup of coffee?”  
    “No, thanks. If I drink any caffeine now, I’ll be up all night…” Oh Lord, she wanted to be up all night, but not because of a cup of coffee. She dropped her arms to her side and felt the heavy weight of her dress anchor her to the floor.  
    “How are you feeling?”
    “I’m good,” she whispered. “Really good.”  
    Jake held her hand. His skin felt as hot as hers. “I’ll show you the rest of the house.”
    Erin nodded. It seemed a lot easier than trying to string words together. They walked up the stairs, their feet echoing on the wooden steps. Jake hesitated in the hallway, gazing around his home as if he couldn’t remember which way to go.
    She watched a frown slide across his face and her fingers itched to reach forward and rub the lines gently away. She didn’t know Jake very well, but she wanted to know more. For once in her life she wouldn’t plan her whole life around what happened in the next few hours.  
    Tonight wasn’t about long-term commitment. Tonight was about need, and her body needed Jake like she’d never needed anyone before. No questions asked, no second guesses.  
    She turned toward him, running her hand along the front of his shirt. His muscles flexed beneath her touch. “I don’t mind making love to you in the hallway,” she said softly, trying to ignore the rush of heat to her cheeks.   “But you could show me your bedroom first.”  
    He took a deep breath, devouring the smile on her face with one hungry look. His hand tightened around her fingers, drawing her close to his body. “Are you sure?”
    “I’m sure.” Erin ignored the voice inside her head telling her to be careful. She’d listened to that voice her entire life and it hadn’t gotten her anywhere.
    “Follow me.” Jake’s arm wrapped around her waist, holding her tight as they moved through the house. She breathed in the scent of the man turning her world upside down and felt dizzy with longing.  
    They stopped outside a bedroom and she couldn’t help the grin that slid across her face. Two suitcases were open on the bed, clothes thrown all over the place.  
    “I’ll just tidy up. I threw my bags in here when I got home from the airport.” He moved into the room and flung his clothes into the suitcases and flipped the lids closed. They thumped to the ground, echoing in the quiet room.  
    “You’ve been away?”
    “I’ve been at a conference in   Los Angeles.” Running his hands through his hair, he stared at a chair overflowing with boxes of kids’ toys. His carry-on had tipped on its side, spilling a book and magazines onto the floor.
    Erin walked over to him. She didn’t care about his suitcases. She cared about the man standing in front of her looking like he’d suddenly found the end of a rainbow and didn’t know what to do next.  
    Reaching up, she softly kissed his warm lips. He bent his head and sighed, nudging her lips with his mouth, almost as if he was giving her time to decide if she wanted to be with him. She didn’t need more time. She knew what she wanted, and she wanted him.

    Erin woke to the first rays of sunlight
