Cade eyes traveled over her when she answered the door…
““Cade eyes traveled over her when she answered the door, coming to rest on her shoes. “Are those the ones from Monday night?” “They are.” He stepped inside her apartment and kicked the door shut. Well, then. “I have good memories of those shoes.” With a warm gleam in his eye, he reached up and cupped the nape of her neck, leaning in to kiss her. Hmm. She might have to wear these shoes all the time around Cade, if they put him in this good of a moo— He jerked back, cursing under his breath. Brooke blinked in surprise, still feeling the warm press of his lips on hers. “Um . . . what just happened?” He winced, rotating his arm gingerly. “I reached around to grab your ass.” “And . . . it electrocuted you?” He chucked her under the chin. “No, sassy. My shoulder’s a little sore after playing football today.” That was news to her. “I didn’t know you still played football.” “I don’t. I was helping out someone else and got caught up in the moment.””
