Wild Men of Alaska 02 - Moosed-Up
left him stumped.
“I don’t have a clue what to do with Eva.” And he shouldn’t be confiding in his ten-year-old nephew. But it was either that or the woodland creatures.
“Have you told her how pretty her hair is?”
“Uh... no.”
Fox made a tsking sound. “Women like to be complimented, to know they are thought of.”
“So then what do you suggest I do? I can’t get her to keep her door open long enough to tell her how pretty she is.”
“Take her some flowers. How hard is this?”
Hell, no. “I’d have to drive back to Fairbanks to buy her flowers.” With his luck she’d hate roses. Would she prefer daisies? Lilies? Ugh, too many choices. Flowers were way more difficult than chocolate. He’d never survive it.
Fox pointed to the field of wildflowers that made up Lynx’s backyard. “Pick her some flowers.”
“Huh, would you look at that.” He reached out and ruffled the boy’s hair. “How’d you get so smart anyway?”
Fox shrugged. “Mom watches a lot of chick flicks.”
Chapter Nine
Eva felt a ping of guilt for not letting Lynx in earlier. She could have been nicer. Not yelled at him as much. Maybe not slam the door as hard as she had. But damn it, she was still mad. A part of her realized the mad came from being scared, and he was to blame for that too. She liked control, and he’d left her in a situation where she’d had none. Granted, she might have driven him to leave her.
Seemed she was good at that too.
Hadn’t she driven Davis into Jeremy’s arms? Or was it the other way around? Not that she’d wanted to keep Davis, but she sure missed Jeremy. He’d know what to do about Lynx. He’d want to know what the hell held her back from partaking of such a beautiful man.
A bittersweet smile played at the corners of her mouth. Maybe she should pick up the phone and check in with Jeremy?
She reached for her cell and then set it down. No, that part of her life was over. She was on to new and better things.
New, yes. Better? That still remained to be seen.
Though she had to admit, she’d been happier in the short time since arriving here in Alaska than she’d been in Cincinnati. She might be considered a Cheechako, but she was learning, making new friends, discovering new things daily. But the one thing she really wanted t o experience was sex with Lynx.
It wasn’t healthy to go this long without sex. Her mouth watered with the thought of being with Lynx. He made her feel desirable.
Lynx was so big and manly, she felt like a woman, all fragile and feminine around him. Not something she’d had a lot of experience with around Davis. With Davis, she’d been the man in their relationship. Funny, she hadn’t figured that out before she’d found him and Jeremy in her bed.
Lynx made her feel desired.
That’s it. She needed to apologize to Lynx, and the best way to show her sincerit y was to have her way with him.
Plan decided, Eva quickly went and changed her clothes, slipping into sexy under things that would make Lynx stutter. She followed the lingerie with a low, snug-fitting violet top that let the lavender lace of her bra peek over the edges of the material. That would drive him crazy. She added a blue and purple glass pendant on a long silver chain around her neck to help draw his eye to her pushed up cleavage. Just in case he missed it.
Slipping into a floral skirt in pinks, blues, and purples that ended just above her knees, she hoped she wasn’t going too far. She hadn’t noticed a lot of skirts being worn here in Chatanika. This was Carhartt and Timberland country. But the day was nice, with the sun hot and high in the sky. Besides the skirt would allow her freedom of movement and quick access to Lynx when she got him horizontal. That thought had her inner muscles clenching with excitement.
She stepped into red-hot strappy sandals, knowing they would to be murder to walk in on the gravel driveway, but they completed the look and did great things for her legs. She wouldn’t be walking long in them anyway. She planned to drive over to his house. No more trekking through the forest until she got her bearings or bought a handheld GPS.
She stood in front of the full-length mirror and shared a satisfied smile with her reflection. The man would have to be dense as wood not to understand her intent.
Eva picked up her purse and opened her front door, skidding to a stop. A surprised squeal escaped her before she could cover her mouth. A Bull Moose chomped
