“Hey, there. You look good enough to eat,” he growled. He
glanced back at his Bronco. “Unfortunately, Derek is waiting for us in the car
so I can’t take a nibble.”
A frisson of awareness skated down her spine. That tone
in his voice…yummy.
“Thanks,” she said as she leaned up to give him a quick
kiss on the cheek. “You know how to make a girl feel good.” She lingered for a
moment right below his ear to whisper, “You look pretty damn good yourself. But
it’s hot and we don’t want the poor thing to suffer from heat exhaustion. I’m
confused though.” She glanced at him as they walked out toward his truck. “Why
would you bring your dog golfing? Are they even allowed on the course?”
He pulled her door open for her, but stalled her entrance
into the Bronco. “Dog? I don’t have a dog.”
She sat in the seat, but scowled at him in confusion
through the still open door. “Isn’t Derek your dog?”
Mudflap burst out laughing as he shut her car door. But
it was the outraged, “What the hell did he tell you to make you think that?”
coming from the backseat that told her she’d gotten something wrong.
She turned slowly to him. He was a young, clean cut,
extremely good looking guy, who was not happy right now. He looked like a model
from a young, hip magazine ad; well, he would if he wasn’t scowling.
Wincing, she offered her hand to him. “I guess you’re
Derek, huh?”
Mudflap got into the car and continued to laugh at
Derek’s expense. Derek shoved at his shoulder and muttered, “Asshole,” before
offering her his hand. “Yes, I’m Derek. It’s nice to meet you Shanae.” His
scowl quickly morphed into a flirty smile. “Already I can tell you’re too good
for this guy. I say we dump him on the back nine and you and I can make a fun
day of it without him.” He waggled his eyebrows at her.
Uh oh, this guy and that mischievous smile was trouble.
She couldn’t help the giggle that erupted. “Sorry about the dog comment. I
misunderstood.”
“Aw, sweetheart, no forgiveness is necessary. I know who
to blame.” He turned to glare again at Mudflap. “Besides, gracing us with your
beauty today more than makes up for it.”
Shanae couldn’t help the eye-roll. This guy was digging
it deep.
“Hey, now. No horning in on my girl.” Mudflap frowned at
Derek, but the corners of his mouth twitched with humor.
The two guys continued the back and forth banter all the
way to the golf course, renting their equipment, and meeting up with their golf
pro for the day, a very attractive redhead named Lisa. Shanae clued in on the
fact that Derek had a bit of a crush on her simply by the fact that he
continued to give both Shanae and Mudflap a hard time, but then got stiff when
it came to interacting with her. It was sweet, if not for the fact that Lisa
seemed completely oblivious to Derek.
Shanae would guess there was a pretty good age difference
between the two. Derek was young, definitely early twenties, while Lisa was
probably closer to thirty. Shanae doubted Lisa even saw Derek as a possibility
for a date. She watched the two of them as Lisa corrected Derek’s form on the
fourth hole. Lisa slid her hand down Derek’s arm to adjust his grip and Shanae
could see all his muscles tighten in response.
Mudflap slid in to stand behind her. His hand wrapped
around her waist felt entirely too right, so right she completely forgot about
Lisa and Derek. She could feel the heat coming off his body and her pulse
skittered.
But then Mudflap, who’d also been watching the other two,
whispered in her ear, “I think his shaft is too big for that stroke.”
Of course, Shanae worked with guys all the time so her
gaze immediately landed on Derek’s crotch where his erection pressed against
his pants. “Don’t,” she hissed at Mudflap. “Don’t give him a hard time right
now. Poor kid is infatuated and she isn’t even aware of him.”
Mudflap nuzzled her ear for a moment before whispering,
“Ask her for some help on the next hole and make her aware. He’s a good guy. It
would be nice if he could hook up with a woman who might actually appreciate
him.”
