Description
"What kind of questions do you have now?"Her wariness was adorable, Elliot moved forward and she predictably moved backward. He repeated the process two more times until she encountered the edge of the Carrera marble slab on the center island. "Oh just a few details I would like clarified.""Such as?" Jenna reached out her hands to stop his progress and again only encountered a hard and very warm muscle mass. She didn''t like the grin she saw on those well shaped lips either. He was toying with her and finally she was mad enough to get past the weak knees barely holding her up. She moved to slide sideways but found his arms were now on either side of her and before she could stomp on his smug toes, he had lifted her up by the waist to sit her on the counter."I think my feet, shins, and er, other body parts are safer with you up here." Elliot kept his hands on her small waist out of enjoyment not peril. "Now, what time next Saturday are the newlyweds due back?""Put me back down or I''m not telling you a thing!""Ewww, a stand off? Well, okay... anyway, I can ask Ruby, she''ll tell me. I will be back this Friday Jenna but it will be late, around ten o''clock probably. Would you save me some dinner so I won''t have to stop and be any later than that?""No... I don''t care how late you''ll be... or how hungry. Ask Ruby to take care of that too!""What a miserable attempt at being hard-hearted. You''re softer than goose down and everybody knows it. A sandwich will do but I uh, was informed you are having Italian that night... just for family. Save me some lasagna.""Put me back down and I''ll think about it." She squirmed under his strong grip, holding down a rising panic. It was getting so warm in here!"In a minute, I need to apologize first. I apparently let the shock of my father''s rash behavior... sorry, his infatuation... oh heck, call it whatever will make you calm down. Now be still, I''ll have to start over." Elliot moved his hands to her upper arms to keep her from taking a swipe at his jaw. He blew out a breath and took in a calming one."Jenna I am sorry about spoiling your surprise last night. I admit it was the most unpleasant thing I have ever done. I am still working on the cause of it or I would be able to offer you a better explanation. But my apology is sincere." Dark blue eyes met her topaz gaze head-on."Okay, Elliot. That little deed is forgiven. But...""But what?""I am just giving you fair warning mister, the other bone-of-contention you have, is not eligible for any forgiveness...""What other bone do you think I have issue with?""Your father, Sterling, marrying my mother. He has not been ''rash'' nor is he ''infatuated'' with her. They are very much in love and even an idiot can see that. So you shouldn''t miss it!""Hrmph, I suppose you have a right to brand me an idiot. I won''t look for an apology from you which is pretty generous if you ask me!""Generous! You would be looking a long time if you think I would apologize for the obvious.""Okay then, I''ll seek your regret the old fashioned way." Thank heaven she had foolishly pushed him past his restraint. That tiny little kiss last night had set off a determination in him to get an opportunity to explore Jenna''s full pliant lips. Now he was going to indulge his curiosity. But how could any woman be this supple, this provoking, or... this dangerous? His answer was found in waves of pleasure searing him with the determination to risk... his heart? Only... Jenna Foster could crush him.As for Jenna, from the initial contact with Elliot''s heated kiss, she buried her stupidity long enough to enter into the madness. He was... so sensitive, so persuasive, and so delicious! Wave upon wave of heated temptation enticed her to risk... her heart? But... Elliot Bartlett could crush her.Well, she seemed to be in complete submission at last so Elliot gentled his kiss and withdrew in small stages. "Mmm, I finally see that if you take after your mother, my father didn''t have a chance."
