Special Delivery Valentine

By Roz Lee

Rachel’s boss has been called away at the last minute, and after breaking up with her lover, Rachel has nothing better to do on Valentine’s Day than help him out by delivering the bad news to his girlfriend. She shows up on Sophia’s doorstep bearing gifts, only to find she’s been set up—with a temptress. Deciding to make the most of an awkward situation, the women agree to spend the evening together.
After spraining her ankle at the gym, Rachel helps Sophia back to her apartment and administers first aid. Rachel’s gentle touch is driving Sophia crazy. When she asks the goddess to help her out of her workout clothes, she can hardly believe the come-on came from her mouth—and is stunned when Rachel takes her up on the offer. One thing leads to another, and soon she is in the arms of her very own Special Delivery Valentine.

CHAPTER ONE

Come on, come on. Gaze locked on the clock gracing the corner of her desk, Rachel drummed her fingers on the blotter. Not that she had big plans for this Valentine’s Friday, but she did have plans. On the floor beside her feet sat a stylish duffle containing her gym clothes and her new cross-trainers. She’d gladly run a few miles on the treadmill in return for getting out of the sexy but not practical boots she had on now. That, and some takeout—Chinese or pizza, she couldn’t decide—was all the romance she needed. If only her boss would get a move on so she could go, too.

The roses, champagne, and chocolates on his desk told her he had a hot date tonight, so what the heck was he waiting for?

At exactly five minutes until five o’clock, Damon’s private line lit up on the phone console.

Finally. That had to be what was keeping him at his desk. Make it quick. Make it quick. Clock forgotten, she focused on the light, willing it to go dark. The second it did, she grabbed her tote, plopped it on top of her desk, and stood.

Two minutes until five. Time to go.

Rachel! Can you come here?

She groaned. What now? Determined to be on her way within the next two minutes, she left the bag on her desk and headed to answer the summons. Stepping into the doorway, she found her boss, back turned, putting on his overcoat. Breathing a sigh of relief that he showed signs of leaving soon, she asked, What’s up?

Damon spun around. He had his cell phone pressed to his ear and a frown on his face.

Damn it. He lowered the phone and grabbed his briefcase. I bet she let the battery run down again.

Who?

My date. She’s fabulous but forgets to charge her phone all the time.

TMI. The less she knew about Damon’s love life, the better. You need something?

Can you do me a favor?

A sense of foreboding settled into her bones as the expected response fell from her lips. Sure.

That was my sister on the phone. My mom slipped on some ice and hit her head. I’ve got to go. I hate to do this to you, but I have a date tonight. I’ll keep trying to call her, but I doubt I’ll get through. I bought these for her. He indicated the giant bouquet of red roses wrapped in cellophane, a bottle of champagne, and the box of high-end chocolates sitting in the middle of his desk. Could you take them over to her place for me? And, in case I don’t get her on the phone, can you explain about my mother? Tell her I’ll be in touch as soon as I can?

Not waiting for a reply, he scribbled a name and address on a sticky note bearing his name across the top. "I’ll
