“Lucy’s worth it. I want her to have any advantage I can give her. So, what do you say?”
“I’ll come over and assess her, and depending on where she’s at, I’ll be able to tell how much work she needs. That’s the best I can give right now.”
“That’s all I’m asking.” He tilted his head to one side and smiled, a slow, seductive smile.
Heat flushed beneath her skin as she looked up at him and met his intense gaze. Swallowing, Olivia forced herself to break contact, but before she could, a low chuckle rumbled from his chest as he winked at her then turned around.
“I gotta get back. Can you come over tomorrow to check out Lucy?”
“Uh … yeah. What about six o’clock?”
Animal looked over his shoulder and nodded. “See you then,Teach.”
The intense black gaze moved over her, almost insolently, making her flesh tingle. He then jumped off the porch and swaggered across the lawn to his house. Olivia retreated back into her home, hating the way Animal made her feel so vulnerable.
She padded over to the couch and plopped down as she replayed their conversation. Agreeing to tutor Lucy was just asking for trouble, but Olivia hated to think of Lucy struggling with her reading.

I’ll assess her and then I can recommend a tutor.Happy that she’d come up with a plan, Olivia poured more wine into her glass and slowly sipped it as she stared at the TV screen.
