sort the mess out about her sister, but he wanted more than anything to make love to her again. Wanted to make sure he experienced the amazing pleasure he did last night, because he knew it would be for the very last time.
As he moved towards her, he gave her a winning smile. “I know it's an inconvenience, but I'm hoping that we can see each other again after the wedding. I would like to know your sisters results so I can deal quickly with the problem if there is one.”
For a few seconds, Cooper mulled over what he said, she didn't trust that devilish smile on his face. Nevertheless, he did make sense and if Sandie was pregnant, the matter should be dealt with as swiftly as possible. She felt herself tingling at the thought of this man sharing her bed again. It might be wrong , but God help her, she just couldn't resist the temptation. “Well if you can amuse yourself until I come home from the wedding, I don't see why not.”
It took an effort, but he managed to keep the smile on his face and followed her out the room and down the stairs. Walking behind her, his brow rose, when he finally took notice of what she was wearing. Good Lord, she looked like a wild haired gypsy . She wore high heeled ankle boots, a black skirt and the hem was flouncing uneven reaching the top of her shoes. Her light long sleeved purple blouse sat at the rim of hip hugging skirt.
The outfit was the most bizarre thing he'd ever seen a woman wear, yet somehow on her it looked as sexy as hell. He stopped thinking when they reached the foyer, and she opened the front door and waited for him to leave. Grimacing, he stepped outside and turned to face her. “What time can I expect you home?”
Eyebrows lifting in amusement, Cooper shrugged. “Probably around midnight.” She watched him give a curt nod before he spun around and headed for his car, she eyed his butt in appreciation and let out a sigh of disappointment when he hopped in the vehicle. Without bothering to watch him drive away, she closed the door and leaned her brow against the cool wood. Dear heaven, she was in trouble. She hoped whatever madness was possessing her now, would disappear as quickly as it came.

SEVEN
Actually, Nate was surprised he had such a productive day after leaving the house. Once he drove away, he headed for the diner to have a cup of coffee and some breakfast. It was just his luck to run into the woman he spoke to last night. After receiving a glare of angry disappointed from the waitress named Kate, he managed to talk himself back on her good side.
It proved to be a very smart decision and after promising to return later in the day, he drove the fifty miles out to the oil fields to check on how things were running. More than pleased with how things were going, he spoke to the foreman, Jake, about his cousin and wasn't surprised at what he learned. Late afternoon, he showered, changed into a suit and headed back to town. He couldn't stop grinning as he pictured how Cooper would react when he turned up at the wedding with the waitress Kate.
No doubt about it she would be furious, well too damn bad . He might hate weddings and try to avoid them as much as possible, but he reckoned that this one was going to be very enjoyable. He swung the car into the diner parking lot and saw Kate waiting outside, he raised an eyebrow at her outfit. Good God, he better be on his toes with this one . If that dress wasn't man eating material, he didn't know what was.
The bright red dress swirled around the top of her thighs, any shorter she may as well wear it as a top. The neck plunged low, barely covering her breasts and he knew trouble when he saw it. Well, he was certain he could handle the woman without any difficulties. Pulling up in front of her, he reached over and opened the door. “Hop in.” Suppressing a grin, he knew she was disappointed when he didn't get out and open the door for her like a gentleman.
Well, he wasn't going
