Because some things in life just hurt so much that you need to feel physical pain to start to heal from it.

One side of his lips quirked up in a sexy smirk. __ot a cure forthat frustration you got going on,_ he said.__ot a cure for your ego?

The Milked Duck was empty, save for Dahlia__ two part-timehelpers, but they were all rushing around, anticipating the firstguests for her Risqué Flavor Tasting event any moment now.The up front freezers were stocked with Chocolate Orgasm,Peachy Passion, Sexual Favors, Mikey__ favorite Cherry Popperand more. She had a case of Sin on a Stick treats ready to go and atemporary menu up on the board behind her.

I am so not kissing you tonight,_ she informed him.He chuckled softly. And if she thought his smile wasdangerous, his chuckle should__e been classified as a biologicalweapon. Sin in a sound wave.__ut now you__e thinking about what it would be like, ain__you?_ he said.__nly my stupid parts.

Two years ago, she had inherited The Milked Duck Ice Cream Shoppe in downtown Bliss from Great Aunt Agnes. After gettingher degree in sociology and then bouncing around the country, waffling from job to job and one relative__ couch to another, she__ finally found where she fit: creating and serving happiness to the locals and the destination wedding tourists in Bliss.

Those gray eyes slid back to her. __our shower big enough for two?___es, but the cats don__ like to get wet. Neither does theguinea pig. But you might have some success with the lizard.__ad, bad move. Because both corners of his mouth weregetting in on the smile action. He moved them one at a time, first the right corner, then a slow follow from the left corner.And then he showed his dimple.

He looked up from the paper he was scribbling on and offeredher a lopsided grin. __ey, sweet pea. You bring me anythingspecial?__he lopsided bit wasn__ odd, but there was something forcedabout it. __ot a fresh bag of cat food outside._ Cat food that she__bought with the twenty he__ left to pay for his ice cream.He pushed his makeshift drum set aside and rose with astretch. __ords every man dreams of hearing. Make my night ifyou say you got catnip too.__he tried not to giggle. She tried hard.But she couldn__ help herself. __xtra strength,_ she said.This time, his grin came out bigger, less forced. __oman ofmy dreams.___n your dreams,_ she said.

Jeez, you two,_ Savannah muttered. __hush. It__ like free porn,_ Riley teased.

He knew the saying was __he way to a man__ heart was through his stomach,_ he was kind of counting on it working the other way around.

Her eyes fluttered open and she found Matt to be impossibly close _ so close she could see the flecks of gold in his green eyes, could almost count his incredibly long lashes. Vivienne swallowed hard. This was it. There was no going back. And she really didn__ want to.

I always hated guys who were so damn wrapped up in themselves they thought they could do no wrong._ He gave a mirthless laugh. __urns out I__ one of them.

I don__ know,_ she said quietly. __ guy in a pair of ripped jeans who takes off his shirt because he__ all sweaty is kind of hot.

The only thing standing between her and her beautiful new home was her own silly insecurity and Matt Reed.

Matt?_ __mm?_ __iss me._ He leaned in and rested his forehead against hers. __weetheart, I thought you__ never ask.

Ladies, ladies, ladies,_ Hugh Shaughnessy said as he strode into the room with his son in his arms. __here is plenty of this baby _ and his poop _ to go around.

Baby, the tumbleweeds can wait.

Matt hissed her name as she moved above him, sliding along the hardened length of him. __hat is it you want, baby?_ he asked, his voice gruff. __ou,_ she replied honestly. __ want more of you._ __ou have me. All of me.

Brace yourself, Savannah Daly. I__ taking you home to meet the family.
