Chasing You (Love Wanted in Texas 5)

I didn’t say a word as I climbed into the truck. By the time he walked around the front, Melissa had run back out and handed him something. My mouth dropped open when I saw him kiss her on the cheek.

“What the fuck?” I whispered as Melissa glanced into the truck and gave me a quick wave. Somehow my hand lifted as I waved back with a stunned smile.

Grayson jumped into the truck and started it up. “What in the hell was that all about?”

Grayson shot me a confused look. “What do you mean?”

“Seriously? You’re showing them kitten videos and kissing my boss on the cheek?”

Grayson threw his head back and laughed. “She gave me a brownie. It was nice of her. Besides, she’s like the age of my grandmother. I was being polite.”

I rolled my eyes and sighed in disgust. “Whatever. And she isn’t that much older than us you jackass.”

“Are you jealous, Meg? Do you want a kiss on the cheek?”

I shot him a smirk. “Friends, remember?”

Grayson’s head pulled back. “Isn’t that where you kiss friends, on the cheek? I mean I wasn’t about to lay one on Melissa’s lips.”

“Whatever, Gray. What are we doing today anyway?”

With a chuckle, he reached down and turned the radio on. “I need to change so first stop is my place.”

My heartbeat sped up. Oh shit, alone at Grayson’s place. The things we’ve done at Grayson’s apartment. My face blushed as I thought about all the places we’ve had sex in that place. The feel of his hands moving up my skirt as we rode up the elevator after a night on the town. Grayson pushing me up against the wall in the entrance hall as he ripped my panties off because he couldn’t wait a second longer to be inside of me. Grayson slipping a condom on and—

“You okay over there?”

My head snapped over to look at him. His blue eyes commanded mine. It’s almost like he knew what I was thinking about. “Yeah, why?”

“Your face is flush.”

My eyes darted to the heater as I pointed to it. “I guess I’m just hot.”

Grayson reached over and turned the heat off. Good thing I had a light jacket on since it was still rather chilly outside and with the truck heater off now, I was surely going to get cold.

“So, where are we going after your place?” I asked, trying to change the subject quickly.

An evil smile spread across Grayson’s face. “You’ll see.”

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest as I let out an annoyed sigh.

Grayson tittered as he placed his hand on my leg and gave it a quick squeeze before pulling it back away. My body instantly came to life. It’s getting hot in here again.

“Don’t be a baby, Meg.”

With a pout, I said, “I’m not being a baby.”

Grayson’s smile caused my heart to skip a beat. I wanted to dream of a future with him, but who was I kidding. The moment I open my heart he’ll stomp on it and move on to Claire.

I decided to stop talking as I pulled out my phone and began checking emails.

“It’s Saturday. Put your phone away.”

“I’m just checking my email.”

“Not today. It’s a technology-free zone today.”

My laugh was somewhere between a yeah right and a hell no as I continued to look at my phone.
