Whetted Appetites Read Online Free PDF Page A

as sinful as her voice did.  He could imagine that sultry voice moaning and screaming in ecstasy.
         Imagining was the only thing he was going to do.  Particularly when he got home tonight.  A hot shower and a little self-pleasure wasn’t against the law.  He could sure break a few with Victoria.  How would her naked, wet body feel under his?  Over him?  Hell, just with him?
         He mentally shook his head.  Months of celibacy had him crazy.  One look at Victoria and he was ready to re-think the possibility of a little casual sex. 
         She had him feeling like a horny teenager ready to experiment for the first time.
         Where was his self control?  He then realized he didn’t have much where Victoria was concerned.  He could just imagine a single touch of her hands on his body would have him coming in his suit.  Just how humiliating would that be?
         He looked at Victoria to find her smiling at him.
         Oh, no.  He had to hurry up and fix her problem and get her out of his office before he did or said something stupid.  Why did women have the power to make a man forget he had a brain?  Just a little bit of sexy talk from Victoria and he would be grunting like a prehistoric caveman.
         Dalton started nervously rummaging through papers.  “Well, Miss Bradley,” his voice cracked.  He cleared it and tried again.  “Miss Bradley.  I will personally see that the shipping department starts paying extra attention to their customers’ demands.  Though I rarely hear of complaints from other restaurants and stores like your own, I know mix-ups will happen.  I will see that this problem is fixed promptly.  I know your bakery is new but that shouldn’t matter.  It will not happen again,” he vowed.  “I’ll see to that.  I like to see my customers happy and satisfied.”
         Oops.  Wrong words, buddy.   He noted a mischievous gleam in Victoria’s eyes.
         Victoria rose from her seat and stretched her hand.  He took it.
         “I’m sure that from now on you will see that I’m very satisfied, Mr. Hughes.”
         He let go of her hand and gulped.  She saw his Adam’s apple bob up and down.  It made her want to lick it.
         “If you plan on staying with our supply company, your next order will be discounted forty percent.”
         Victoria laughter was just a little flirty.  “Why, Mr. Hughes, are you trying to bribe me into staying one of your customers?”
         Dalton relaxed and chuckled.  “Well, not really.  But I value you as a respected customer.  Besides,” he shrugged, “it’s our way of apologizing for our mistake.”
         Victoria pretended to think it over.  She already knew she was going to stay when he promised that her delayed items wouldn’t happen again.  For some reason, she trusted him to keep his word.  Anyway, she wanted to see more of Dalton Hughes.
         She nodded in agreement.  “I will stay your valued customer then, Mr. Hughes.  I trust that my catering supplies will be on time from now on.”
         “They will be.”
         Victoria turned to go but changed her mind and faced him once again.  She never got tired of looking at his handsome face.
         “I was wondering if you would like to drop by my bakery and sample some of my treats.  You bring my supplies, so I would be pleased if you would taste my confections.  You know, see what I have to offer,” she suggested coyly.
         Dalton definitely decided he wanted to see her again.  He wouldn’t mind tasting more than just her sweet treats.  It was a safe bet that she tasted even sweeter.  “I would love to.  You have to watch out, I’m afraid,” he warned playfully.  “I do have an incredible sweet tooth.”
         Victoria laughed softly.  “Good one.”  She started for the door and looked over her shoulder.  “Come by sometime this week if you can.  I’ll be open from
