Patty didn’t know how long she and Goldman tongued and lapped at each other’s lips, but she knew she was under a spell when they finally stopped. Her lids were heavy. Her breathing was deep and shallow. Patty was in a haze. She felt his hands move from her waist to her back. Goldman was standing behind her. He expertly untucked and loosened the ribbon to the bodice of her dark red dress. He gently shoved the dress down to her hips. Patty slowly switched her hips as he pushed the dress to the floor, covering her feet. She heard the ruffle of cotton. He was taking his shirt off. Patty was still in a haze as his hands glided up the waist of her red, longline strapless bra. That’s when she remembered she was wearing one of the pieces of lingerie Jackie bought her. The red bra came with matching panties and a garter belt. The garter belt held up her black thigh highs. Goldman kissed and licked her ear as he slowly squeezed her waist. She le

Goldman watched Patty’s luscious apple ass sashay away. She looked good from the back, too.“Goddamn,” Dalton said with astonishment. “What the fuck has gotten into you?”He turned to look at Dalton.Dalton’s eyebrows were raised. His brown eyes were wide.“What do you mean?” Goldman asked.Dalton laughed. “Jesus, you’re obsessed with her.”“No, I’m not,” he said. “I just enjoy a good lookin’ woman. You know that.”“Goldman, I’ve seen you with your . . . women,” Dalton said. “And you’ve never been so - how can I say this . . . clingy. Not the way you were with Patty, anyway. Why did you make her stay in here with us to make a phone call?”“I wanted to see if there really was nothing going on between her and Carter,” Goldman answered bluntly.“What?” Dalton chuckled. “Her and Carter? Man, shit.” He laughed.“You’re laughing, but it’s possible,” Goldman said. “Did you know that Carter goes over to her house at least twice a week?”Dalton laughed again. “I don’t care if he goes over the

It had been four days since Goldman had returned to Arizona, and he was a wreck. He had gone to Patty’s house as soon as he got back into town. Her car hadn’t been home. Goldman had gone back that evening, and her car was still gone.Monday and Tuesday, Goldman had gone to her house, again. Patty was home, but she wouldn’t come to the door. He had pleaded for her to let him in. She wouldn’t. Patty wouldn’t even give him a verbal response. The only response Goldman had gotten was Rufus barking when he had rung the doorbell and yelled at the door.This morning he had gone to her house - again. The same process was repeated. The only one that wanted anything to do with him was Rufus – barking his head off that a visitor was at the door. Goldman had done one thing differently. He had yelled at the door that he wasn’t going anywhere until she let him in. He had hung out in Patty’s yard for an hour and a half. Goldman would have stayed all day if that’s what it took. But, Williamson had cal

Matt and Williamson were chatting at the reception desk. Williamson was reassuring Matt that Goldman was crazy about Patty and he was willing to go to the ends of the earth to make things right with her.“I hope your right, Williamson,” Matt said. “It’s more than her being an invaluable employee here. She’s like a sister to all of us. I would miss having her around.”“Me, too,” Williamson said. “And her cooking. I love her lasagna.”“Don’t forget her baked spaghetti,” Matt said.Williamson chuckled. “Remember when she made that strawberry cheesecake from scratch and she wouldn’t let any of us touch it?” He smiled. “It’s for Goldman. It’s his birthday,” Williamson mocked in a high-pitched female voice.Matt laughed. “Oh, god, Lawrence was pissed,” he said and chuckled. “I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on how she felt about Goldman back then.”“You had a lot going on back then,” Williamson said.“True,” Matt agreed.A college student ran up the stairs. Matt hired her as a temp to do so

Patty’s head whipped to the side. Goldman stood in the doorway of her bedroom with his arms crossed and his eyebrow arched up. A black box dangled in his hand. He had on a black dress shirt and dark jeans. Rufus didn’t bark for the hell of it. He had barked because someone else was in the house.Her mouth dropped open at the sight of Goldman in her house. “How the hell did you get in here?” she yelled.Carter blew out an exasperated breath. “I thought you were going to let me soften her up before you made your presence known?”Patty’s head snapped in Carter’s direction. “What?”“I didn’t know your softening up method was letting her strip for you,” Goldman quipped.Patty whirled around to look at Goldman. She quickly adjusted the shoulder of the robe back on her shoulder. “I wasn’t strip - You know what? It’s none of your business what I was doing!” she yelled. She turned her attention back to Carter. “You let him into my house?” More of a statement than a question. “How could you do
