store, two men stopped and stared after her. She waved. Oh yeah, she could get used to this. A Porsche beat her old dependable Chevrolet she’d driven since she got her license at sixteen years old and bought for five hundred dollars. The old beater saw her through college and a few fender benders, and still worked perfectly fine.
    She flounced into the store with Dominic’s wallet in hand, filling the shopping cart with everything she’d need for a week. On a whim, she grabbed a container of vanilla ice cream and four Butterfingers before calling it quits.
    When she arrived back at the condominium, she took an extra circle around the block before pulling into the garage and shutting off the engine. Dominic came out and helped her carry the groceries into the kitchen.
    Dressed in a black T-shirt and faded pair of Levis that hugged his ass, he stepped into the garage. She followed him inside, making sure she looked him over while his back was to her because if he caught her sneaking a glimpse, he’d turn it into something sexual. It wasn’t. She was simply learning more about the man she was going to live with for the next two weeks.
    “Is there any kind of food you can’t stand?” She left the eggs out on the counter. “Speak now, or be poisoned later.”
    He seemed to read the side of a box of cereal. “No. I guess not.”
    She glanced at him again. “Is something wrong with the cereal?”
    “Did you know they put riddles on the back of the box?” he said.
    “Welcome to my world, Dom.” She opened cabinets until she found a skillet. “We’re in luck. You have kitchen supplies.”
    “The condo came furnished when I bought it. If you need something, let me know. I’ll have Tanner go out and buy whatever it is and bring it to the house,” he said.
    “That’s okay. If I need something I’ll go get it.” She cracked eggs into a bowl.
    He approached the stove, watching her. “You like my car.”
    It wasn’t a question. She’d be an idiot if she said no. “Yes.”
    “I’ll let you drive for the entire time you’re with me if you go out on a date with me.”
    “Sure.” She grinned. “Be prepared to find your own way home though.”
    “You’d dump me for my car?” He feigned shock.
    She laughed. “In a heartbeat. Now, get out of here and let me finish our breakfast.”
    “Only because I’m starving, I’ll go.” He grabbed the keys to the Porsche off the counter and pocketed them, eyeing her suspiciously. “Just in case you get any wild ideas. I’ll keep these with me now that I know how you really feel about my car.”
    “Chicken,” she called after him, laughing.
    A half hour later, she had two plates of omelet and buttered toast on the table when the doorbell rang. She hurried into the living room.
    “Go eat. I’ll go see who came over.” She motioned to the door. “Are you expecting anyone?”
    “Gary.” Dominic stood and tossed the newspaper on the couch.
    She smiled, excitement filling her. “Gary Satchel?”
    “Yes … ” He hesitated. “Don’t tell me you like Gary, and not me.”
    “I love Gary.” She turned and hurried to the front door.
    Maybe she exaggerated her feelings to play with Dominic’s ego, but after meeting Gary in Cottage Grove two months ago, she’d found the professional football player easygoing and a good sport. They’d played darts at the Quayside Lounge late into the night over a few drinks, and she’d found out they had a lot in common, besides their friendship with Shauna and Grayson Schyler. Lucky for her, she and Gary enjoyed each other’s company but there wasn’t a spark between them to be found.
    She opened the door.
    Gary rushed her. She barely had time to prepare herself for one of his bear hugs when Dominic dove in front of her, plowing into Gary. Both men fell against the wall.
    “Watch your hands,” Dominic growled, pushing Gary as he stepped away. “She’s a lady. You’ll hurt her if you hug like you tackle out on the
