“Really?” she found herself asking, even though she knew she shouldn’t believe him. But she so wanted to.

Ethan was everything Kel had ever wanted in a man. He was all man and knew how to push her sexual buttons. She loved his body, his smile, his eyes. He spoke in a way she found interesting and enjoyable. He was, what seemed to be, the complete package.

She wondered if things had been different. If there’d been no bet, would Ethan still have sought her out?

He kissed each one of her fingertips as he answered her, “Really, Kel. Tonight doesn’t have to be a one-time thing for you and I.” He meant it too. The bet wasn’t about having sex then leaving the woman. It was just about who got laid first. He could keep things going with Kel if he wanted to.

The fact was, Kel was stirring him in ways no other ever had. Why would he stop seeing her?

The way she gazed into his eyes told him she was a bit worried about what he’d said. He knew she’d been deeply hurt by what her jackass of a fiancé had done to her. He had no want to hurt her. As a matter of fact, he wanted to get to know the woman he held in his arms. She was the beauty to his beast, that was certain.

“Ethan, how can I trust you?” Kel asked him. “How can I be sure you’re telling me the truth and not just telling me what you think I want to hear?”

He reached into his pocket and took out his cell. “Give me your phone.”

Kel didn’t have her phone with her. It was in her purse, behind the bar. “I don’t have it on me.”

“Tell me what your number is then,” Ethan said and opened up his contact list. He typed in her name and waited for her answer.

“555-677-5599,” she told him, giving him her real phone number.

“Your address?” he asked.

She wasn’t sure about giving him that. He might make his way to her house that night after she ran out on him if he had her address. “Not yet,” she said, stalling him. “Maybe after you call me, then we’ll see about that.”

“Oh, I’m going to call ya. On that, you can count,” he said then put his phone back into his pocket. “Can we get back to where we were?”

She nodded and put her arms around his neck and let him kiss her again. Things were proving harder to do than she’d thought they’d be. Ethan was either a fantastic liar, or he was being real with her. Kel wasn’t sure which but she knew making-out with him was a thing she’d remember forever!
