Tailwind (Love By Design 4) - Page 29

“Maybe, but I’ll never tell a soul where the money came from.” We’re laughing and I felt lightheaded, giddy even that this man looked at me as though I was something special. It’s nice.

We walked outside to the parking lot weaving in between cars and waving at friends. I figured we might stop for something at the diner but he seemed in a rush to get out of out there. He popped open the trunk to put his suit and then opened my door waiting for me to slip inside. He shut my door and then got in on his side starting the car up.

I fiddled with the radio turning it on low and let my fingers tap on my knees. Chase backed out of the spot and drove us back toward his house.

“So when does date night happen?” I asked with curiosity.

“Next week actually.”

“You think she’ll make it that long?”

Chase shrugged as he continued to play with my hair.

“She signed a waiver.”

“Does she have a curfew?”

“I’ll have her home by nine so she can play bridge with the ladies on her floor. I hear they have a rousing game and bet their hair money for the week each.”

“Huh.” I bet that’s how his date had the perfect shade of Lilac curls. It was cute and I knew Chase was doing a good thing.

“Come on, Winsome Gray, I’m taking you home.” I cupped my hands around Winnie’s flushed face. Something about tonight and being up on the auction block made me hot for her.

“Funny, I swear you’ve said that before.” She coyly disengages and we get to my car. She barely buckled herself into the seat when I rounded the side jumping in myself. I took off for my house eager to get her under me in bed.

Winnie interrupted my thoughts tugging on my arm. “I need to check on the furry trifecta.”

I hummed thinking about the dogs and slipped my hand over her knee traveling higher to her soft thigh muscle. Those dogs cramped our style sometimes, but that was the downside of being a responsible pet owner. The constant cockblocking. They loved her and they did grow on you after a few slobbers.

I thought about having her bring them to my house. We could make it work and I treaded lightly with my suggestion.

“We should see how they react to my cat.”

“The cat?” She looked at me like what did the cat have to do with any of this?

“Yes, you could stay over more often if all the animals were in the same place.”

“But they poop everywhere.”

“I have a backyard.”

“They like to sleep on the bed.”

“We can train them to stay outside the door.”

“Why is this becoming an issue, Chase?”

“Because I like you Winsome.”

“Oh.” She had nothing to come back from with that.

“Yeah, Oh.”

I pulled my car into the driveway and hopped out before she could open her door. I help her out and she skirts around me before the front door unlocking it. I put my hand on the door frame and one arm around her waist pulling her flush against my body.
