angrily toward the fancy car.
Her tight little behind swayed sexily beneath the dress she wore, the clingy
fabric dancing gently just over a pair of truly cute knees. She had long
dark-brown hair with sexy red and gold highlights that had sparkled in the
flashing lights of the club when he was dancing with her. Her body was lithe
and she moved with a confidence only a woman who’d experienced life could
enjoy. She was beautiful.
    Garrett had always been drawn to older women. They had many
things going for them, including knowing how to make a man feel really good in
bed. He also appreciated the fact that they rarely wanted a relationship. They
unabashedly pursued him just for the sex.
    Garrett was okay with that…usually. But something about this
particular woman pulled at him. He hadn’t felt this type of connection to a
woman since…
    He shook his head to dispel the thought.
    The woman in his arms sagged suddenly and he realized she’d
passed out. Reaching down, he scooped her up and started toward the Lincoln
with her. The birthday girl held the passenger-side door open for him, her face
still clouded with anger.
    He settled her friend inside the car and closed the door. He
pulled his keys from his jeans pocket. “I’ll follow you home.”
    Birthday girl jumped in surprise. “What? No! I mean…why?”
    Garrett glanced at the woman in the car. She had fallen
sideways and her full, lush mouth was smashed against the glass. She looked
like a large, brown suckerfish. “You’ll need help getting her into the house.”
    Some of the panic left Felicia’s eyes. “Oh, you meant her
house. Okay.”
    Garrett chuckled as she realized how bad that sounded and
her face took on a horrified look. “I mean…not that I want you to know where she lives either! Umm…that is…I don’t think you’re a lecher or anything…” Her voice
trailed off and she bit her lip, lost in a maze of her own making.
    He shook his head and turned toward his car. “No worries.
Just make sure you don’t leave me at a light or something.”
     
    Felicia found herself staring at his yummy backside and
broad shoulders as he sauntered away from her toward a black Jeep parked at the
far edge of the parking lot. She swallowed the saliva that had pooled in her
mouth and ran her tongue over her lips. She’d never felt an attraction like the
one she felt for the young, gorgeous dancer. She’d have to be seriously on her
guard with him.
    Or she’d embarrass herself.
    Big time.

    He settled Bliss onto her bed with little apparent effort.
Felicia slid her friend’s shoes off and covered her with the throw she kept at
the foot of her king-sized bed. When she turned away she was standing way too
close to him. Mere inches. His breath bathed her face in sweet warmth.
    He smelled like mint with an underlying scent of beer.
    “Thank you so much for helping me get her home. Her
boyfriend is away on business, or he would have helped. I could have gotten her
home, eventually, but it was nice to have some help. I don’t mean nice as in…”
The words clenched in her throat and came out as a breathless whisper. She
sounded like the worst kind of tease. Sighing, Felicia just shrugged, grinning
stupidly.
    He reached toward her and slid an errant dark curl from her
face. “It was my pleasure.”
    Felicia sucked air and tried to take a step back, but Bliss’
damn island-sized bed was in the way.
    He moved an inch closer.
    She could smell his heat, taste his scent. Her mouth
watered.
    “You’re a very beautiful woman.”
    “I’m too old for you.”
    He smiled. “Not a chance.” He reached up to slide a ribbon
of hair off her cheek. His touch was warm and slightly rough against her skin.
Felicia stopped breathing, her body going on sensual alert.
    “I really enjoyed our dance tonight.” He bent his head and
branded the spot he’d touched on her cheek with a soft kiss. So soft, if she
hadn’t felt the heat of his breath against her skin she
