Wyatt was there along with two other guys She stayed out of sight and watched as he directed his e him strip off his jacket and strap on a tool belt nearlyabout ato a woman’s libido--or at least her libido
She walked over to hiiant smile on her face
It was already noisy, his two laborers setting up the frame with haht with hi on the open door as she entered
"Hey"
He straightened, turned to her, frowned "What are you doing here?"
"Checking in to say hello How’s it going?"
"It’s not going at all yet since we’re just getting started"
He was good at pushing women away Tori had told her he hadn’t dated at all since the divorce It was time to put a stop to that
"If you or the guys need anything, coht up There’s coffee or soda or--"
"We have everything we need right here"
"Okay I’ll let you get to work"
He didn’t say anything, so she stepped out of the trailer and got back to doing her job Other than listening to drilling and ha, she mentally tuned him out Kids were excellent for that They co but them By the time the last kid and the last of her eured Wyatt and his creould be long gone by then, but she was curious how otten done in a day, so she put on her jacket, closed and locked the doors and set the alarm, then headed around the corner to see what had been done
It was dark, but the streetlight shed enough light on the project They’dShe was impressed
And Wyatt’s truck was still parked on the street, a light on inside the trailer She went over and knocked on the door No answer at first, then Wyatt opened the door, his typical frown on his face
"What do you want?"
She stepped up and careat job today"
"Thanks"
He stood there, ar on at the table "Are these the blueprints for the roohed "Yes"
She leaned over the table "Looks coure this out"
His gaze met hers "It’s not that hard Look This is the fra in the blueprint for her, not that she was paying attention She was close to him and he smelled like sawdust and sweat, a lethal combination She leaned closer and breathed hiainst his
"Calliope"
"Yeah"
"What are you doing?"
Fantasizing "Trying to get a closer look My prescription is old and I probably need to see an eye doctor to get new glasses, but I haven’t had ti closer to Wyatt
"Any closer and you’re going to be on top of my desk"
Wouldn’t that be fun? She wondered what Wyatt would do if she cliive hi sexier on--like a dress--instead of jeans covered in spilled chocolate milk and a sweatshirt baby Ryan had spit up on Not an alluring enseive up on him She had her jacket zipped up to hide the spit-up and it was dark enough he ht not notice the ainst the desk
"Wyatt, do you ever date?"
His eyes widened "What?"
"Do you ever date? You knooue Where the hell had that coht she’d left and he could spend an hour or so going over the blueprints to make sure they were on track with this project But then Calliope knocked on the door of the trailer, forced herself inside and then threw herself all over his blueprints, practically draping her body over him Her scent drove hih the outline of the project she’d be satisfied and leave
Instead, her curls brushed his cheek, and her hip nudged his, and then she flipped around and leaned against his table, , like bending her over his drafting table
Her green eyes mesmerized hi him out of his mind and it was only the first day of the project
"Calliope…"
"No, really I knoe haven’t seen each other in a long time, but you don’t seem very happy"
"Calliope, you need to leave"
She didn’t look like she was going anywhere She crossed her arms under her breasts "Have you been out with anyone since you and Cassie divorced?"
"That’s none of your business"
"That means no Why not? It’s been three years"
"Don’t you have somewhere you need to be?"
"No Why, do you?"
He wished he did
"If you don’t, we could go out"
He had no idea what to make of this woo out That thing you do when you’re single"
"I knohat ito out with a him on a date And she was beautiful and made his palms sweat and she was Cassandra’s sister and no way in hell was he going anywhere near her
"No"
