Mackenzie
blinked her eyes and then nodded.
“
Yeah,
Ash
.
”
Ash.
Kaelyn smiled at the nickname then
opened on
e
eye to look at her.
“
Well
,
he delivered my refrigerator yesterday.
”
“
What?
”
Mackenzie
sat up on the chair and then groaned as she brought a
man
icured
hand to her forehead.
“
Oh shit! Brain freeze.
”
Kaelyn chuckled softly and
waited for
Mackenzie
to breathe normal again.
“
Okay, I’m fine. Now what
were you about to
say?
”
she said almost impatiently.
“
He delivered my refrigerator. I met his brother
at the store
,
so I had no idea
Ashton
worked there.
”
“
Worked…
What else did he tell you?
”
Kaelyn
noticed
a
mischievous grin curled her painted lips.
With a full body
stretch
, Kaelyn
slid up slightly on the seat
.
“
Not much except Kilmer Appliance
s
has be
en in their family for years.
”
“
Hmmm,
”
was all
Mackenzie
said, running a finger along the side of her
frosted
glass.
Kaelyn met her eyes head
-
on.
“
Why? Is there something you’re not telling me? I remember asking you the other night and you avoided the ques
tion.
”
“
For obvious reasons
.
”
Mackenzie
made a face
.
“
Like I said before
, t
he two of you are my friends and I don’t believe in doing that matchmaking
crap
. If
anything
goes wrong
,
then I’m the one to blame.
”
Kaelyn studied her friend
over the rim of
her g
lass
.
“
But you would tell me if he was married?
”
She nodded.
“
He’s a single as it gets.
”
Her shoulder sagged with relief. At least that was something.
Her cottage had one of the best waterfront views in town. Kaelyn
stared out onto the water
with Ashton s
till heavy on her mind.
“
Why? What’s up with you two?
”
Mackenzie
asked between sips
and shifted her petite frame on the chair
.
She
shrugged and
tried to avoid the question.
“
Did you kiss him?
”
Mackenzie
demanded
and leaned forward as if she could smell
the
truth
on her breath.
There was a long pause.
“
I did a lot more than kiss,
”
Kaelyn
finally
admitted.
Her friend started screaming.
“
Oh my goodness. You slut!
”
If she only knew
.
“
It just sorta happened,
”
she said innocently.
“
One minute we were having break
fast and th—
”
“
Breakfast? You made him breakfast?
”
Mackenzie
chirped
. He
r
slanted amber
eyes bulging wide as she studied Kaelyn.
“
You never make me breakfast.
”
“
That’s because you’re not as
cute
as he is,
”
she said with a saucy grin and then started laughi
ng.
“
Seriously,
he was flirting on the phone—
”
Mackenzie
’s
jaw dropped.
“
Wait a minute! Back this up and start over.
”
While she sipped
her margarita, Kaelyn
told
Mackenzie
about
Ashton
calling and hearing his sexy voice.
“
By the time he hauled in the
fr
i
dge
, I had bacon on the stove.
”
Her friend
was shaking her head with disbelief.
“
I still can
’t believe you fucked him
!
”
Kaelyn
stared for a moment
,
then released a long sigh.
“
Actually, he was the one doing all the fucking… and sucking.
”
S
uddenly, s
he star
ted laughing.
“
Oh my God. I am a slut
!
”
Her head whipped around.
“
Is that a bad thing?
”
Mackenzie
shot her a dark look.
“
Hell no. If we weren
’t
besties
I’d
fuck
him myself.
I’ve heard the rumor
s
and always wondered if they were true…
”
S
he purposely allowed
her voice to trail off
while she
stared at
Kaelyn
over the rim of her glass.
“
I don
’t know what you heard
,
but that man rocked my world.
”
Kaelyn’s
breath caught as she recalled every detail of their afternoon. She had carried those erotic feelings into th
e night. He was gorgeous, sexy
,
so generous
, and
everything she had ever
dreamed about
in a man. No wonder she had tossed and turned all night with memories of him sliding deep inside her body
,
fucking her until she thought she would go insane.
Gawd
, she c
ouldn’t wait for round two!
