Opposites Attract
by
Lacey Wolfe
Book 4 in the Hot Bods series
When Randy receives a call at his auto shop one
night from a woman whose car has broken down and needs a tow, he never imagined
he'd be coming face-to-face with his high school sweetheart. Randy has never
loved a woman the way he loved Francesca, but she broke his heart, claiming he
could never provide the life she was determined to have. That was years ago,
but he's still bitter about the way she tossed him aside.
Seeing Randy again, Francesca realizes what a
mistake it was to breakup with him. She'd like to try to rekindle the old
flame, and she can tell he's still attracted to her too, but every time they're
together, all they do is argue. Can she convince Randy she isn't the girl he
remembers and that she can settle for love even if it comes without money?
Content Warning: explicit sex
Excerpt:
Randy cleared his throat, hoping to break the
tension between him and Francesca. The way she was looking at him, he was
worried she was about to pounce. It was taking everything in him to not walk
over there and kiss her.
Picking up a work towel, he wiped his hands on it
and then directed her toward the front office. She walked in front of him and
it was his turn to devour her ass. And hot damn, the jeans she wore were tight
and molded to her butt perfectly. Her pants hugged her legs all the way down.
She wore black boots that came to her knees. He wasn't sure what shirt she
wore, because his eyes had yet to make it past her luscious behind.
Once in the office, he stepped around her, getting a
whiff of a very tempting smell. He quickly sat and scooted under the desk as
far as he could. He was hard and didn't want her to see.
Francesca took a seat in front of him and he now
noticed her pink tank top that was cut low enough he got a hint of cleavage.
Inhaling again, he wondered what perfume she used. It really was igniting his
senses.
"I spent some time looking at your car today.
When was the last time you had an oil change?" he asked.
"It's been awhile."
"I can tell. And how long has the car been
leaking oil?"
She shrugged. "Not sure. I wasn't concerned
since it was just little drops here and there."
"Those little drops here and there add up. You
almost had no oil in your car. And I hate to tell you, but you have torn up
your engine."
"Well, can't you just pop a new one in and
it'll be good as new?" she asked.
"I wish it was that simple. Here, look this
over." He slid a sheet of paper across the desk. "The top portion has
to be done, the middle is recommended, and the bottom is optional. The price is
on there too."
Her eyes widened as she read over the paper. She
then glanced up at him. "This can't be right."
"I'm afraid it is. You haven't taken very good
care of the car."
"I get it washed and detailed all the time. I
take very good care of it."
Randy shook his head. "There's a lot more to a
vehicle than just its appearance. You've got to take care of the things people
don't see too."
She was quiet for a moment and then finally spoke.
"I don't know if I can afford this."
He raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't you have
some rich man who can pay for it?" He regretted saying it the moment it
left his lips.
Francesca's mouth fell open and he could see the
shock on her face.
"I'm so—" he started to apologize.
"I can't believe you would say that, Randall.
You of all people," she snapped.
"Me of all people," he repeated.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean? If I recall correctly, you dumped
me because you wanted a rich man to take care of you. Tell me, how is that
working out for you?"
Francesca stood up, placed her hands on her hips,
and leaned forward slightly. As much as he hated it, his focus darted in for a
peek inside her shirt.
"I'll have you know that I'm not the gold
digger you think I am," she argued.
"I bet you refuse to date any man whose income
level doesn't meet your standards. Tell me, why haven't you married one of them
yet?"
"Why aren't you married? Can't find a girl who
will have you as a husband?"
Randy stood and stepped around the desk. "I
haven't found anyone else who can start my engines the way you could." He
rubbed the back of his fingers on her upper arm. "Haven't you found a rich
guy yet who can kiss you breathless?"
