Someone Like You Read Free

been dying on the remote because
it wouldn’t budge. He was too lazy to get up and switch channels on the
console, so he suffered through the couple experiencing one rip-roaring orgasm
after another. What he wouldn’t give to enjoy one of those again.
    Jake glanced
at Katie’s photo. There covering her face sat the gift certificate.
    He rubbed his
eyes and shook his head. Just what the hell was going on in his house?
    There was no
wind, no draft, he didn’t have the air conditioning on, or the window open, yet
the certificate flew from the photo frame and hit him smack in middle of his
chest.
    He peeled it
off his shirt and studied it.
    What if he
used it to find a woman who’d be willing to get together for just sex? Could he
request that? Would that appear shallow? He wouldn’t be dishonoring Katie’s
memory because the woman would never get his heart, just the use of his body for
some mutual pleasure.
    He looked up
at Katie’s photo, positive he’d seen her nod and wink.
    Jake reached
for the phone and punched in the numbers on the certificate.
    “Good
afternoon. Perfect Pairing.”
    “Hello, can I
speak with Sadie Sutton?”
    “One minute
while I put you through to her office.”
     
     

Chapter Three
     
    Gen had grown
up here. She knew the place like the back of her hand. Or so she’d thought.
Today she was lost. The address the person on the phone had given her couldn’t
be in
Idaho Falls
.
    She pulled over
and took a sip of the coffee she’d bought ten minutes ago when, for the fifth
time, she’d driven by the local hangout for caffeine addicts, hoping to locate
the address of her 10 a.m. appointment.
    Was life out
to get her today or what? What with Nicky acting out, the strange ad, and now
not being able to find the location of what could be a big landscaping job.
    Always ask them what town or city they’re
located in.
    She heard her
father’s words ringing in her head. Thompson Landscapes had been her parents’
business before it had been hers. Now her dad was gone, and her mother not that
interested in running it without him, so she’d taken over.
    Gen leaned
back, thinking about the matchmaking service. She’d cut out the ad and coupon
and placed it in her purse. Why? She had no idea. She dug it out and studied it
again.
    While she’d
love to find a great guy to settle down with, she knew the chances of finding
one who’d want to take on someone with a son were slim at best. And now with
Nicky acting like the devil incarnate, the prospects looked even bleaker.
    Truth was she
missed the physical side that relationships offered. There was only so much you
could do with a vibrator. Some nights she woke up not only longing to find a
man lying beside her, but a dick deep inside her, pounding away and making her
toes curl upward.
    She figured
the coupon. Would it be disgusting of her if she used the free membership to
find a guy who might be interested in only having sex? No expectations from
either of them, and no broken hearts if it didn’t work out. No worry that she’d
fall for a guy who couldn’t handle Nicky.
    Gen looked at
the address.
    Shit, why
hadn’t she noticed it before? The address she’d been given was right near the
matchmaking company’s office.
    Maybe it was
Kismet, fate, whatever, but she was going to visit the office, sign up, and
hopefully be paired with a guy who would rock not only her world, but her body
too.

    He’d done it.
He couldn’t believe he had. He’d used Mitchell’s gift and signed up with
Perfect Pairing. He sat on the bed not believing he’d had the nerve to say that
for now he was only interested in a physical relationship and nothing more
because he was still madly in love with his late wife.
    Sadie Sutton
had been more than understanding of his needs and had put him at total ease.
She’d laid her hand on his arm. The strangest thing was it had made him feel
relaxed, euphoric almost. When she’d promised to find him the perfect
