still incredible. His tongue slid across his lower lip in hope that the taste of her would be there. It wasn’t.  He lusted for more and knew that he should say something, but what? “Abby—”
    “Would it sound too forward if I invited you back to my place?”
    Her words tugged the corners of his mouth into a smile. “Not forward, but perfect.” Turning towards the waiter, he waved to catch his attention. “Check please.”
     
    Breathing in the night air, Abby seriously questioned what was running through her mind. She had met a man on a bus, then saw him again in a night club, had become enamored of him over a couple slices of ‘the works’ pizza, and now had invited him back to her place. She was a lawyer, and supposed to be smart, but oh no--there she was, dressed in a skimpy outfit that Gina had picked out, and giving into the call of her damp thong. 
    She was a ttracted to Jack, and it was even more apparent as desire coursed through her when his hand rested at the small of her back. Abby turned and smiled at him as a cool breeze came up, causing her to shiver.
    “ Here” He slipped off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. It smelled expensive, and like spicy male. His hands rested on her shoulders and her breath caught.
    “Thank you.”
    “I should hail us a cab.” His voice was low and his eyes dipped to her lips. When he again met her gaze, she saw desire in the dark depths of his eyes.
    She had no clue what possessed her , but she stepped closer to him and his hands slid around her neck. He cupped the base of her skull and tilted her head back slightly as her lashes fluttered shut and his lips came down on hers. Harder than the kiss in the restaurant and with more intensity, the fire of attraction sent flames over her chilled body and her mouth parted in a gasp. His tongue slid over her bottom lip. Her tongue met his as it entered in her mouth.
    Jack tasted incredible and her fingers slid across the soft fabric of his dress shirt. His body radiated heat beneath her touch. He pulled her closer to him, and she melted into his kiss. The intensity and heat would contribute to global warming at this rate and she pulled back. Her dark lashes lifted and his gaze rested on her.
    “Let’s pick this up at my place?”
    Nodding, a wicked smile spread across his face. “I’d like that.” He kept one arm around her and hailed a cab. One pulled over and he held the door for her, allowing her to slip in first. She quickly gave the address to the driver as anticipation built. Jack’s fingers caressed the skin of her knee and tickled up beneath the hem of her skirt to the sensitive flesh of her thigh. She placed her hand on his knee and looked up at him as his fingers climbed higher and the tip of one brushed over the front of her thong.
    Struggling for composure , she grew even wetter between her legs from his touch. The driver stopped the yellow taxi in front of her building around the same time her desire to be wanton and go for sex in the backseat crossed her mind. Mind? No, she had officially lost hers. Jack paid the driver and they stepped out of the car. This was crazy and out of character. Never had she acted like this, and it was then the question hit her hard as Jack slammed the door closed. She turned and blinked at him. The question solidified in her mind.
    What is so different about Jack?

Chapter 3
     
    Jack walked into the apartment and admitted he was surprised. From what he could see of the condominium, everything was elegant, but not flashy and overpriced. The furnishings were tasteful, and from what he knew so far, very much like Abby. She slipped off his suit coat and rested it on the back of stylish leather chair. He raked his gaze over her and though she looked unsure, he knew by the way she had melted into the kiss, and the way her body had reacted to his touch in the taxi, she wanted him.
    Her lips pursed together and she stepped closer to him. “Can I get you
