“I want details of that date with Leo…and a picture as proof you actually went on the date.”
“I want grandbabies.”
“Oh God, I’ve got to go. Love you Mom.”
“Love you too honey.”
Jinx hung up, still feeling confused about her feelings toward Drake, but with a resolution that once she completed her assessments, she would address her feelings. If nothing was to come of it, she would keep her distance and move on. That would be easier said than done. Images of all the naughty things they had done the night before kept replaying over and over.

Drake was frustrated. All day he kept thinking about Jinx; her soft warm skin, the way she gasped when he reached a spot inside of her that brought pleasure to her. Every time the door opened, he looked up expecting her to walk in. Every time his phone rang, he hoped it was Jinx calling. He filled out a bail bond agreement, but instead of entering the client’s name, he entered Jinx’s full name.
He went to the vending machine to grab a snack, and selected the small bag of jelly beans. After opening it up Drake sorted the colors in two sections, one that resembled the color of Jinx’s hair and the other looking for the exact blue of her eyes. Frustrated, he stood up and went downstairs. Maybe going to the shooting range would help him use up his excess energy.
No matter what he did, Drake couldn’t get his mind off of her. Finally, he decided the best thing to do would be to go home and confront her about what was happening between them. He needed to know that she had ended things with the other male. He wasn’t about to share his female with anyone.
His female?When had she becomehis female? Maybe he had known the moment that he saw her that she would be special. Or maybe the first time he touched her, he couldn’t get enough of her sweet flesh. After making love to her, he wanted only her. It was insane that he could feel so strongly for someone he just met days ago. It might be crazy, but he didn’t care. Drake had to find out where this might lead.
Half an hour later, he opened the door to his apartment and knew immediately that she wasn’t there. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed that she had left. She must have gone back to Shy’s apartment. He could seek her out, but what would he say? Walking to his bedroom, the blend of their scents and sex almost overwhelmed him, turning him on.
He couldn’t stay there. He would be in hell scenting her and not being able to touch her. He needed to go somewhere that would help kill his arousal. Drake grabbed his keys off the table where he had tossed them and left once more, hoping he could find a way to get away from Jinx for a little while. He needed to have a clear head about things.
