Luke = 5, Amy = 3. She bugged with the Drama Queen crap!

Two days, and not a word from Luke. He was probably engaged to someone new by now. She balled her fists and pressed them against her eyes to keep the tears at bay. She knew she was being overly dramatic. But dammit, why did she keep pushing away the only man she’d ever loved? And why did he keep walking away without a second glance?

“What the hell?” He stared at her, his hazel eyes snapping. “Why are you making this so awkward?” “It’s time for you to go.” “Noah’s home early so you’re just going to throw me out of the house?”

“About damn time,” he said, then he crushed her against him for a kiss that completely wiped her mind of any rational thought other than getting him into her bed. “Hurry.” “Baby, I didn’t wait fifteen years for another chance with you to hurry once I finally have you all to myself.”

“Please tell me you’re not drinking Amanda’s wine again tonight.” She grimaced. “I’m not drinking any wine tonight.” His head dipped closer to hers. “That’s good, because I think we have some unfinished business to take care of later.” A warm shiver ran through her. “Do we?” “I know I do.” With a wink and a look that left her breathless, he walked off toward the bar.

Luke gave her a long look, then his lips curved in a soft smile. “Do you always put everyone else’s needs above your own? You like the tree. I’ll find a way to save the tree.” “It’s just a tree.” And what was he talking about anyway? “It’s okay to speak up for what you want, Amy.” With a slight shake of his head, he walked away.

Luke knew an opportunity when he saw one, because he’d never been satisfied with the way things ended between them back in high school. He wasn’t letting Amy walk out of his life a second time until he was damn sure this thing between them was finished, and, right now, it sure didn’t feel finished.

She stumbled giving the dog a shake to get him to quit peeing, and her head bumped into something—or someone. She turned her head and found herself eye level with a man’s crotch. And she had just head-butted him in the groin. She lurched upright, sending a stream of Yoda pee all over the poor guy’s pants in the process.
