Closing the door Lucy cocked her head. "You're cooking."
Jake speared her with an amused look.
"Wow, you could be a detective," he drawled, dark brows winging upwards over sparkling brown eyes. Eyes that she remembered boring into hers last night, inviting her to let go of her inhibitions.
As she hung back by the entrance, Jake approached with deliberate steps, his gaze unswerving. Taking the grocery bag from her frozen fingers he said quietly, "Forget about last night, Lucy. I was ready. You weren't. End of story. Don't get embarrassed."
She gave a quick nod and edged around him. She'd nearly reached the bedroom when he continued, "But, for future reference, make sure you tell me when you are ready, sweetheart. Because you wanted me, that much I know. You just weren't ready to act on it. And I can deal with that."
A/N: This is the last teaser before Prisoner of Love is published. Next Monday the book comes out, and I hope you all buy it! You helped make it a success here on WP, let's do the same in the big world! Thank you!
