Since today is Opening Day for the 2016 NASCAR season, here's a snippet from SWEET CAROLINA.
Dell
closed the door behind her and watched through the sidelight as Caro walked to
her car. Who would have thought little Carolina Hawkins would grow up to look
like that? When he opened the door and saw her standing on his porch, he
thought he was hallucinating. He'd heard she was back, and running Hawkins
Racing, but he hadn't seen her until tonight.
Damn.
Now he understood some of the bawdy comments he'd heard around the garage. Caro
had always been pretty, but she'd also been a tomboy – smudged with dirt and
grease. She couldn't go five minutes without getting dirty.
She
wasn't dirty tonight. Nope. Her classy clothes were spotless with that crisp,
don't-even-try-to-guess-how-much-I-cost look about them. Her father had been
right to send her away. She turned into a first-class lady, and a beautiful one
too. When her taillights were out of sight, he shook his head and returned to
the den and the six-pack he'd been working his way through when she came
calling.
He
opened another bottle and downed half in one long pull. The cold liquid did
nothing to ease the ache in his groin or erase the image of Caro Hawkins'
shapely ass from his memory. The skinny tomboy wasn't skinny anymore. She'd
developed more curves than the track at Sonoma, and those legs… what he
wouldn't give to see the full straightaway of those. Preferably wrapped around
his hips, or spread on his bed. Then there was the thing she did with her hair.
Some sort of tight coil intended to ward off the entire male population, but
having the opposite effect. On Caro, it looked utterly feminine and screamed a
challenge no human with a y chromosome could ignore. He had a sneaking
suspicion if you got the hair to unwind, the prim little skirt she was wearing,
and the silk blouse would disappear faster than a pit stop.
But he
wasn't going to be the one to make it happen. For some reason he couldn't
fathom, he agreed to drive for her. She was the boss, and Dell had never
screwed an employer, and he sure as hell wasn't going to start now. No matter
what.
