Morgan believed her. Jenna was so gone over Brett the guy could do no wrong. And he was an incredibly nice guy. Oh, and gorgeous. He had this way of looking at Jenna like she was the most beautiful woman on the entire planet. It was sweet.
A few weeks ago she would’ve rolled her eyes but now she thought it was sweet. See what finding a good man did?
“He has great taste.” Mia grabbed Jenna’s hand and admired it closely. “Did anyone help him pick it out?”
“I may have dropped a hint or two what I wanted my ring to look like.” Jenna giggled. “But nope, he did it all on his own.”
“Too good to be true, that one,” Morgan couldn’t help but add.
It had been two weeks since Jenna went on her weekend mini vacation with her boyfriend and come back an engaged woman. It had taken the three of them that long to get together for a Saturday afternoon. They were having a long lunch at one of their favorite restaurants.
“Don’t you play the cynical card, Morgan,” Mia chastised with a knowing grin. “You need to dish about your new hunky boyfriend.”
Mia didn’t work with Jenna and Morgan any longer so she hadn’t heard all the details. Not that Morgan shared many details with Jenna, for that matter. For once in her life, she was keeping things…quiet.
Private.
Savoring Evan all for herself to enjoy.
“She won’t even dish to me.” Jenna shook her head. “And I thought I was her best friend.”
“You’re too in love and planning your wedding. I didn’t want to bore you with my life.” Jenna was totally wrapped up in wedding plans. They’d set the date nine months away, and she was already in full panic mode.
“I am never too busy for you.” Jenna’s expression was serious. “Come on, spill.”
Morgan sighed. How could she explain when she really didn’t understand it herself? It was just happening so…fast. Like a raging wildfire out of control and consuming the side of a mountain and she didn’t know how to slow it down. Didn’t know if she wanted to slow it down since she was sort of enjoying the wild and bumpy ride.
She was really enjoying the wild and bumpy ride. Not only did she have fun with Evan and liked talking to him, they had a lot in common. And the sex was unbelievably good.
It was almost too perfect. And that was the part that scared her the most.
“We get along great,” Morgan started, shooting the both of them a withering glare when she saw the smirks on their faces. “He’s really sweet. He makes me feel good. The only drawback is that he’s busy. His work keeps him going constantly, and he’s never one to say no. If they ask him to work an extra shift he never hesitates. I haven’t even seen him in a couple of days.”
Though he had called her late last night and said the hottest, most arousing things she’d ever heard. The moment she got off the phone she’d well…gotten off. But her hands didn’t bring her the satisfaction Evan’s could.
Sigh. She was so gone for the man it wasn’t even funny.
“He sounds like Brett. Oh! In fact, I talked to Brett about your guy.” Jenna smiled, and Morgan’s cheeks heated with embarrassment. She didn’t want to know what he said.
Well, fine, yes she did.
“What did he say?” Mia asked eagerly.
“I had no idea about this but I guess there are quite a few EMTs and paramedics out there who have quite the lothario reputation.” Jenna shook her head and laughed. “Brett said they’re a bunch of players.”
Morgan’s heart sunk into the pit of her stomach. Great. Her potential boyfriend—she really didn’t know what to call him—was a player. Just what she wanted to hear.
“But when I mentioned his name, Brett said Evan was a pretty stand up guy. In fact, he said Evan was very serious, almost too serious. He works hard and is very good at his job, but he has a hard time letting loose.”
He didn’t have a hard time letting loose with her.
“Ah, is he all serious and no fun, Morgan?” Mia waved a hand and smiled. “I doubt that very much.”
“He’s very driven. He’s saving money to buy some land so he could build a house on it.” He’d admitted that to her a few nights ago, the last night he spent at her place, in fact. They’d been talking after a particularly delicious bout of lovemaking, and he’d admitted some of his future dreams. How he’d even found the land he wanted to buy and was saving every extra penny so he could purchase it and soon since it was such a good deal, what with the way real estate was currently priced.
He was very serious. Brett wasn’t kidding. So purposefully driven and he treated her so wonderfully.
It scared the crap out of her.
