Tender Kisses Read Online Free PDF

row, Justin watched Siobhan drive away. He raked a hand down his face. He wasn’t supposed to kiss her, only engage her in friendly conversation. He certainly hadn’t planned to ask her out again. He walked to where his car was parked an aisle over, got in and leaned against the headrest. Her full, sexy lips were softer than he’d anticipated, and he could still taste the sweet flavor of honey from the kiss they’d shared. When she had scooped out the bit of honey left in the package with her finger and sucked it off, he almost came out of his seat. Justin had wanted to smear honey all over her and lick off every drop. If he ever got her to his house...
    He shook the thought away. No honey and no more kisses. He needed to focus on the goal and not get distracted. Except he had just asked her out on a date. He groaned. What was he doing? Okay, maybe dinner, nice conversation and sharing more childhood stories. Nothing more. He could do that. He had never allowed a woman to stand in the way of his dreams, and he wouldn’t now. Feeling confident he could pull it off, Justin started the engine and drove home.
    Once there, he went directly to his home office, booted up the computer and worked on his in-home safety sensor program. An hour later he placed sensors in his living room and used his cell to test whether it would distinguish between heights.
    â€œYes!”
    Now that he had solved that problem, he had only a couple more additions he wanted to make. He was close to having a system that would outperform his competitors. And if it hit the market in a big way...
    Excitement raced through his veins. Justin’s stomach rumbled. The toast and coffee was long gone. He removed the sensors, shut down the computer and padded to the kitchen to find something to eat.
    After finishing his meal, he tried to concentrate on the basketball game he was watching, but thoughts of Siobhan continued to play in his mind. Although she laughed and talked, she seemed somewhat guarded, even a little tense at times. He had fully expected her to bolt after the first few minutes and was surprised but pleased she stayed as long as she had. Sitting here now, he realized Siobhan had revealed very little about herself, preferring to keep the subject focused on her family and him. He chuckled thinking back on some of the stories they’d shared, especially the ones about dating, and wondered if her brothers still ran interference. Not that he should care one way or the other. Dating Siobhan Hunter did not fall under the scope of his mission. Yet something about her made him want to peel back the layers to find out what lay beneath her prim exterior.
    Justin glanced over at his cell and debated whether to call her. Was she still having dinner with family, or had she gone home to an empty house like him? Several minutes passed, and then he picked up the phone. It buzzed in his hand immediately.
    â€œHey, Joce. What’s up? Your ears must have been burning.”
    â€œHey, Justin. You were talking about me, huh? Hopefully it was to some cute guy.”
    He snorted. “In your dreams, Short Stack,” he said, using the nickname he had given her when she was five.
    â€œHey, I may be short, but I’ve got my assets in all the right places,” Jocelyn retorted.
    Justin frowned. “I don’t want to hear about your assets , and there’d better not be anybody else looking at them, either,” he gritted out.
    She laughed. “Oh, lighten up, big brother. I’m too busy right now to deal with guys. So, who were you telling about me?”
    â€œI was sharing with a friend some of the pranks you and Yvonne used to pull. Turns out she had siblings who did her the same way.”
    â€œDid you say she ? I haven’t heard you talk about a woman in ages. Ooh, wait till I tell Yvonne.”
    â€œSlow your roll, girl. It’s not like that. Anyway, I know you’re not calling to get in my business,
