With his index finger, he pointed at her top teeth. “You have something in your teeth.”
Oh crap. How embarrassing. Had it been there the whole time she’d been talking to everyone? She ran her tongue over her teeth, but felt nothing. Moving to the glass window at the front of the shop, she checked out her teeth but they were clean. “Where? I don’t see it.”
He gave her a sly look. “Hmmm. Must have been wishful thinking—imagining my clothing in your teeth.”
She gasped and then laughed as he pulled her against him.
“I love you, Jane Dixon. I can’t wait to see what you do with this business. With your brains and heart, you’re going to be a massive success.” He kissed her until she was breathless and light-headed, neither of them caring about people passing them on the busy street. “I do have one question, though,” he said, lips against hers. “Where on earth did you get the name Animal Attraction?”
As she looked into his warm, brown eyes, her chest felt as though it would burst. “It must have been a premonition about you.”
And then, Jane led Eric to her apartment, where they spent the rest of the day practicing the fine art of removing each other’s clothes with their teeth and exploring the nuances of her new business’s name.
