“He really is. My sister Aura only went out with him three times and on the third date he told her he wanted a threesome with me. I think she was trying to figure out how to dump him anyway, so that gave her what she needed to do it, but still.”
Shuddering, he pulled himself together. “What can I do you for, Katykins?”
Let me just add at this juncture that I adored my boss. Not in a gross way, but as in he was one of the best guys I’d ever met in my life. His wife was also one of the best women I’d ever met in my life, so spending time with them was never ever a hardship. He’d heard my dad call me that when he’d dropped in to say hi two weeks ago, and since then every now and then he’d call me the nickname.
“Linda says she’s coming in to get photos of Hurst’s car, and then she’s going to beat him around the head with them.”
Not looking at all surprised by this, he chuckled, “I expected that.”
That may be the case, but there was something else. “She said she’s also looking for you and Cole because you didn’t tell her what he’d done.”
That got a reaction from him. Sitting straight in the chair, he ran his hand through his hair and looked at the door to the office. “When did she say she was coming in?”
“She called ten minutes ago and said she was leaving after she hung up.”
Looking at his watch, he jumped up and made his way quickly to the door. “Gotta go for lunch. Let me know if you want anything.” And then he was gone.
Roughly five minutes later, the door to my office opened and Jarrod was there with Linda behind him. “Hey, Linda’s looking for dumb and dumber.”
“Lunch,” I snickered and then leaned my head to the side to smile at Linda. “Guess you just missed them.”
With a twinkle in her eye, she turned back to the stairs and called over her shoulder, “Yeah, but I know where they live.”
Flashing me another grin, Jarrod followed behind her and I heard his deep laugh as it carried across the building. The man was porn for all of your senses, and this I could say without hesitation or exaggeration.
First up, if you didn’t hear or see him, you smelled him - and by that I meant the guy smelled fucking outstanding. I wasn’t sure what cologne he used or if he was just born smelling like that but holy shit. I had mental images of nurses coming into the room while his mother recovered from the arduous task of giving birth to a six foot baby and sniffing him.
Second, his voice – it was deep, rumbly and growly, had a lot of bass to it, and when he spoke it gave me goosebumps. In fact, most women stood staring at him with open mouths when he spoke because of that (and the way he looked, I’m not gonna lie on that). When he laughed it was goosebumps and Skittle nipples all the way so I had to wear padded bras to work. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the man could sing. Trying to think of someone he sounded like was impossible because he was literally pitch perfect, but in the deepest way, and again it was filled with bass.
Last but not least came the third Jarrod Kline porn sense hit – visually. Tall, shoulders I swear I could sit on one side of, not overly built in an ‘I’m gonna eat a shark’ way but in a natural ‘I’m just this built’ way. He wore thin white t-shirts to work and you could see certain muscle bumps when they tightened across his abdomen. Then there were the moments when he reached up for something and the t-shirt would lift enough to see the sexy hot V muscle thing that only sexy hot men got… again, hallelujah for padded bras. Add onto that his thighs, his butt, and his beautiful face and eyes – he was total porn for your senses.
I lied about there only being three, because there was definitely a fourth sense hit – his personality. Almost shy, quiet, hella loyal, and serious, but then something would happen and a playful side would come out that would melt you down to goo. When he joked around or let out his playful side, it was better than Christmas. I’d heard many a lady, even Linda Townsend, whimper when he did it around them, that’s how awesome it was. Any woman who was lucky enough to win the heart of Jarrod Kline would know that he would be her strength, protect her, stay loyal to her and also give her a life of laughter and hot sex (because I refused to believe that in any world he wasn’t a king in bed).
