**************
Amber let Moxy off the leash and watched as the dog sprinted up toward their apartment. Slowly, she followed behind. As she was about to step inside she heard her name being called. Shit, she thought as she glanced down at her big rabbit ear slippers on her feet that were so old her big toe was sticking out. No one was ever out here when she took the dog out at this hour. Turning, she came face-to-face with Jax. She noticed he was looking down. Her eyes immediately went to her slippers, then she realized she was braless, wearing an old white t-shirt, and that her nipples had decided to be fully erect as if waving hello to him. She quickly crossed her arms and felt her face become flush.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to stare,” Jax said.

Unsure of what to say, she decided to just stay silent.

“So I was thinking about your predicament with Moxy,” he said.

“What predicament?”

“You mentioned in one of our talks about needing daycare or something for her. I was thinking that since I’m in and out of here during the day that I could always come in and walk her.”

“Oh. Well, walking her isn’t the issue. It’s the barking all day that has the neighbors complaining.”

“Well, I could play with her during the day.”

It was too early for Amber to be making decisions. She was a night person, so how was she supposed to make a decision after only a few sips of coffee?

“Let me think about it today.”

“Okay, I could stop by the library later and see what you decided.”

“I’m off today, so if you need the internet, you will have to come by my place. I doubt old Mabel is going to let you in at closing.”

“Okay.”

Amber looked him up and down. He was wearing light khakis and a button-down blue shirt. He looked confidant and sexy. Her eyes met his again, and she wasn’t sure why she had never noticed him before. He was hot, the way his hair fell in front of his eyes in that style that was suppose to look messy. Not to mention his lips—she could imagine herself nibbling on them.

“Why don’t you come by later?” she suggested.

Jax looked confused a minute and then smiled. “To discuss Moxy?”

“Yeah, that and maybe we could talk about something else.” Taking a deep breath, she added, “I have a proposition for you.”

She dropped her arms from her chest, well aware her nipples were still peeking out to say hello. And his gaze moved down to say hi right back.He glanced up at her face. “Yeah? Okay, I’ll be by l-later,” he stuttered.
