She stared at him, entranced, her panties growing wetter with his every word.
“My favorite color is red. I like to build things. I built that television stand and those
cabinets. I have a thing for breasts and a fine ass and, in particular, for one confused,
stubborn blonde with no idea of how hard she makes me by simply breathing.”
He stood, his erection prominent beneath his shorts, and he hauled her to the door.
“It’s been fun, baby, really. But I have a long day tomorrow, and an even longer night
ahead. So drive safely, and I’ll see you here tomorrow at seven. Wear something old.
We’re going fishing.”
He slammed the door in her face, but before she left, she swore she heard his low
moan. Caught in her own web of frustration, she drove home slowly, wondering how
their evening might have progressed had they watchedBelinda’s Delightsinstead of
Stargate.

Chapter Nine
Days later, Sydney met her at a local bar downtown just minutes after work. She
eyed Hailey with sympathy and shook her head. “You poor kid.”
Grabbing the nearest waiter, she ordered them each a Cosmopolitan. “He’s lasted an
entire week? Unbelievable. And he attempted to make you dinner again last night?”
Hailey grinned and broke into laughter. “We settled for peanut butter and jelly,
which I had to make. His version of baked ziti smoked up the entire apartment and had
the place smelling like burnt tomatoes.”
“Ouch.” Sydney shook her head, amused. “You’ve got to admit he’s serious about
you, Hailey. He gave up sex to make you see how much he cares. For a guy, that’s like
sayingI love you more than pro-wrestling and football.And not only is he going without
sex, but he’s trying to woo you with pathetic culinary efforts. It’s sweet, actually.”
“And incredibly frustrating.” Hailey gulped down half her drink before the waiter
had even turned away. “Bring me another.”
“Slow down, Hailey.”
