“What if I told you that I’m back for good?” she asked in a husky voice.
For good? She was staying permanently? “Why would I care?”
Her lips pursed in mock disappointment. “Why would you not?”
He felt stifled in the small space and parted his knees for more comfort. She apparently saw that as an opportunity to step between his legs and come even closer. Her tight jeans brushed against his thighs and he cursed himself for getting aroused.
“What do you want, Lisa?”
She leaned down to whisper in his ear. Her scent teased him with memories of their time together, and for a second, he closed his eyes.
“I want you, sugar.”
Her words caressed his ear, but then his eyes darted open and he rolled his chair back abruptly. “You’ve lost your damn mind.”
She stepped back with a smile. “Not at all. I haven’t been more clearheaded in my life.”
The sound of motorcycles riding up to the shop sent waves of relief through Ryan. Customers were pulling up, thank God. He didn’t have time for this.
Lisa slung her purse over her shoulder as if it was a leather jacket and turned to go. “You better clear your schedule, baby, cause I’m here to stay.” She gave him a last look over her shoulder before walking out.
He felt as though he’d been run over by a train. Did that just happen? He leaned toward the window and saw her getting into her car, then she drove off. Yes, she’d really been there. He hadn’t just imagined it.
Dave walked in, looking sweaty and overheated. “Was that your ex?”
Ryan nodded, too stunned for words.
“You don’t see that every day. What’d she want?”
Ryan stood and marched past Dave out of the office. “She wants me,” he mumbled irritated under his breath.
For once, he wished he could trade places with her and just take off, leaving everything behind.
