I needed to do.” He shrugged. “It seemed the best solution for the problem.”
“I think the better solution would be to try to get along.”
He arched an eyebrow. “Darlin’, that was our problem, we get along too well.”
Something flashed across her face. Was she remembering the sparks, too? She finally glanced away. “I thought we agreed what happened at Otis’s house was a mistake.”
She blushed, but before she could answer, a loud alarm sound went off.
With a curse, Sloan ran back into the kitchen and saw the grill with flames shooting high into the hood. He turned off the burner, then covered the fire with a large pan lid. Soon the flames were out, but his meal was charred. “Well, I guess it’s soup for supper.”
That was when Jade took over. “It’s surprising you haven’t starved. You clean up the mess, and I’ll see what I can throw together for a meal.”
He glanced over her in her tailored slacks and pretty bright-blue blouse. “You cook?”
She managed a smile. “Of course. My mother made sure of that.”
“I thought career women didn’t have the desire to spend time in the kitchen.”
She frowned. “Don’t judge all women by one.”
She opened the refrigerator and stood back to allow him to see the many containers of leftovers. “Looks like Marta doesn’t want you to starve, either.”
He shrugged. “Someone cares if I eat.”
“And here I was feeling sorry for causing you to burn your steak.”
He’d been caught off guard seeing her walk into his house. And he was drinking her up, unable to get enough of her.
“What can I say? You’re one hell of a distraction, Jade Hamilton.”
