responsible for the wholly unholy thoughts I’ve been having about you?”
    “Tell me more about these unholy thoughts about me.”
    “Jack, focus please.”
    “I am focusing on the important stuff,” he said with a wink flashing that dimple that was becoming her Kryptonite.
    “Jack. I am really confused right now. Calling off an engagement to one guy and having uncontrollable, somewhat irrational, and very foreign feelings for another man that I just met have me not knowing up from down. I just need some time to think.”
    “Okay, that’s reasonable. Let me give you something to think about.”
    He stepped closer. He cupped her soft smooth cheeks in his hard work roughened hands. He looked into her eyes for any sign of resistance, but only saw anticipation and desire. She inhaled deeply just before his lips touched hers. Her lips were soft and warm. He could taste her berry flavored gloss. Involuntarily her hands pressed against the solid warmth of his chest. A low, deep sound came from him at the feel of her hands. She could feel his heart beating faster than hers. Slow and tortuously her hands moved up his chest until her fingers tangled in the curls at his neck.
    She pulled him deeper into the kiss. His hands slid down her back until they reached her waist. He pulled her closer. Her soft breasts pressed against him. Another primitive sound escaped him. He knew if he did not stop this now he wouldn’t be able to. Slowly he pulled his mouth away from hers. He rested his forehead against hers with his eyes still closed and their bodies still together. Her breaths were rapid and shallow. He wasn’t certain that he was breathing at all. He was certain he would do everything in his power to get her.
    Her soft voice broke the silence. “Well, that is something to think about.”
    He kissed her forehead. “Enjoy the food,” he said as he left the apartment with a smile on his face. As he closed the door to his truck his phone vibrated with a text message.
    From Diane: Here’s your one chance. Plan the best date ever for tomorrow.
    As soon as she pressed send on the text to Jack she called her friend Amara. As the phone rang excitement rose in Diane. When her friend answered words erupted from Diane like steam escaping from a kettle that had reached its boiling point. “I kissed a country boy I met two days ago.”
    “Who is this?” Amara said teasingly.
    “It’s Diane.”
    “That’s what the caller ID says, but there’s no way it’s you. Are you drunk? Has Alan’s transgressions driven you to drinking?”
    “Who?” said genuinely clueless for a moment. Jack had driven Dr. Insincere so far into the recesses of her mind that she had to think about who her friend was referring to. “Jack’s the one that’s going to drive me to drinking.”
    “Seriously, are you drunk? Who is Jack?”
    Diane filled her in on everything from the car break down to Thanksgiving dinner. “Tonight he drove all this way to bring me food because he knew my only other option was delivery.”
    “That’s nice, in a stalker kind of way.”
    “If you tasted his mother’s cooking, you’d wish he were stalking you.”
    “My mother can actually cook so I’ve had good home cooked food on more than just holidays.”
    Diane laughed because everyone knew how bad a cook her mother was accept her mother. “Then he told me he wanted to get to know me and when I said I needed time to think he kissed me to give me something to think about.”
    “What kind of kiss? A peck on the lips or…”
    “The call the fire department and Ripley’s because I think I’m about to spontaneously combust kind,” Diane interrupted. “We have a date tomorrow. I’m so confused Mara.”
    “Why are you confused? Some women go a lifetime without being kissed like that. Other’s only have memories of being kissed like that by the proverbial one that got away.”
    “But, Dr. Insincere and I just ended.”
    “Dr. Insincere? Is that what we’re
