“Excuse us…” he heard Josh’s voice.
He turned around to find Josh and Natalie standing. “We’re going now.”
“Didn’t you drive here?” he asked Natalie, remembering seeing her old truck in the driveway.
She lifted her chin. “Yes, but Josh will follow me with his truck just to make sure I get home okay.”
“No need. I’m going soon too,” he said. Hell, he’d leave now if it meant the young buck kept his damn paws off her luscious body. “I can follow you.”
Dina nudged his elbow. “Let him follow her home. I’m glad y’all showed up.”
“Thank you for dinner,” Natalie hugged Dina.
Josh glanced at him, motioning to give him a hug or a handshake, but Vincent just shook his head and looked away. Manners be dammed.
An hour later,Vincent paced the living room of her house—alone. He’d left Dina’s not long after they did, and a foolish part of him had hoped she’d be home already. Yeah, right. He’d showered, slipped on some shorts and a white undershirt. Then, he worked up a sweat again, doing push-ups on the laminate floor he couldn’t wait to rip apart and replace with the type of hardwood she deserved.
He’d kept the porch light on, but inside he’d turned off any distractions. Natalie was bound to come home soon, or he’d go out looking for her. The full moon spilled brightly into the living area. Every so often, he peered out the window.
Damn the woman. She’d proved her point. He wanted her—wanted her so badly he not only knew in his gut he’d make the second worst mistake of his life by pursuing her, but there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening. His temples throbbed, and he rubbed them, eager to will away the headache. For better or worse, Natalie would be his tonight.
