Chapter 37: Jane Calls a Lifeline
Jane
I can’t recall ever wanting to strangle anyone as much as I want to strangle Ethan right now.
The truth is that I’m not sure I can make it three months working alongside him every day, but I’m equally afraid of the romantic schemes he might try to pull if I agree to date him. Three dates a week is simply too many, and the word date is a minefield all on its own.
Yet when he calls me that damned fake name and basically accuses me of being a chicken, I can’t help but rise to the challenge. “Define date?” | huff.
“You and I, spending quality time together in the evening or on weekends.” He shrugs, eyes twinkling with mirth. “Surely you’ve been on a date before?”
Rolling my eyes heavenward, I waver back and forth. Five boring days a week for three months, or a few heated hours? In the end I feel much more confident in my ability to rebuff him for a short period than day in and day out, and I know the sly wolf will take every advantage he can, working or not. Finally I suggest, “Two dates a week, no more than two hours long – and no funny business.”
His white teeth flash against his bronze skin, “Don’t worry little wolf, I won’t lay a hand on you until you ask me to.”
“That is never going to happen.” i grind out, giving him my best scowl.
“Then you have nothing to worry about.” He informs me huskily, his lips mere centimeters from my own, “do you?”
“No.” | insist, stubbornly tilting my chin up. “I don’t.”
“Then we have a deal.” Ethan offers me a predatory grin, and the triumph in his eyes makes me wonder if I haven’t made a terrible mistake. “Seal it with a kiss?” He suggests.
“You’re unbelievable.” I remark dryly, slipping out of his hold.
“Tomorrow then?” He says to my back, “Around noon? I’ll pick you and the pups up from Linda’s.”
“The pups?” I repeat in surprise. “Why should they come?”
“I thought we could take them on a picnic.” Ethan explains, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
