“Well, that’s a relief.” Evan relaxed somewhat. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad. “We’re gonna need all the help we can get. Makes sense to get a wedding planner. Good thinking.”
He extended his fist for John to bump.
“Oh, Presley isn’t a wedding planner,” John said as their knuckles clashed. “She owns a nursery and flower shop. Chloe met her last year when we initially started talking about the wedding. They became fast friends. When I reached out to Presley to let her know about rescheduling, she was gracious and offered to help in any way she could. I probably should have, but I didn’t hesitate. I told her my idea. She loved it. She seemed excited about planning a surprise for Chloe.” John’s chest puffed out. “She called me a romantic and said the world could use more men like me.”
If Evan’s head weren’t buzzing, he might’ve had a smart-ass retort about the kind of men the world needed. As it was, Evan’s brain was dialed in on the name he hadn’t expected to hear ever again.
“Presley?” Evan asked slowly, his heart rate kicking up a notch. “The woman’s name is Presley?”
It couldn’t be. Granted, Presley wasn’t a common name, but there had to be more than one, right?
“Yeah. She owns Masters Flower House and Greenery, that big place off the freeway.” John’s face lit up, his gaze focused over Evan’s left shoulder. “Oh, here she comes. We need her help, so please, for the love of God, Evan. Don’t try to get in her pants.”
His head was still spinning. “Why would I—”
“Because you’re you.”
The man had a point. Evan was far from a man whore—that title belonged to his teammate C-Note—but he was a single guy with a high-stress job. Some guys worked out their stress at the gym. Evan worked his out in bed. Sue him. He’d never had any complaints.
John stood and clapped him on the shoulder before Evan could give his word to behave. “Everything is going to be great. You’ll see.”
What Evan saw as he turned were a pair of bare legs. Toned, tanned, sexy-as-fuck legs that ended with feet tucked into equally sexy black heels. The sixteen-year-old girl he remembered would never have worn heels like those. Or had legs like that.
Evan sat up straight. He scrubbed a hand over his chin as he took a lazy tour over the rest of her. Her gorgeous legs disappeared under the hem of a red dress. A dress that was wider above her knees, but tapered and hugged the gentle curve of her waist like a dream. A dream that turned wet by the time he got to her breasts. Encased in red and framed by silky looking hair the color of milk chocolate swirled with honey, her tits were pert and round. The dress he could envision on his living room floor offered an enticing hint of cleavage.
He had more self-control than to pop wood in the middle of a coffee shop, but damn. What he wouldn’t do if he had those curves under him.
He slid his gaze higher. Up her slim neck to her delicate chin. Over her full lips, her slightly imperfect nose, and, holy shit, her eyes…
Evan froze.
There was only one woman with eyes that green. It was her. Presley Masters.
Interest faded into questions. What was she … why was she …?
“Hey, Presley,” John greeted cheerfully, waving her over.
God, she was beautiful.
That was the last thought Evan had before the past came rushing back with a speed that stole his breath. He cursed and curled his fingers into his palms, the sudden need to strangle his best friend making his fingers twitch.
