LIVI HAD FORGOTTEN what morning looked like, given that she’d spent the last few in Mitch’s arms, sleeping off sexually induced exhaustion.

Except this morning they’d both woken at six, too hungry to have more sex until they’d refueled. But when she’d suggested her usual, a bowl of Greek yogurt and fresh fruit, Mitch had looked at her as if she’d just asked him to wear her panties. Shocked, amused and a little horrified.

He’d handed her a glass of juice, settled her on a stool and taken over her kitchen. Until she’d started watching a bare-chested Mitch bustling around in her kitchen, whipping up pancake batter and chatting about the holidays, she’d had no clue how sexy cooking could be.

“You take hot breakfast to a whole ’nother level,” Livi teased him when they sat down at the bistro table on her balcony. “It’s enough to tempt a woman into wanting pancakes for two every day.”

“A high compliment from a woman dedicated to breakfast for one,” he said with a laugh.

“Why do you say that?” she asked, truly curious.

He frowned and handed her the bowl of fruit.

“Why else would you be single? A woman with your looks, personality, brains? It has to be by choice.”

It did? Was that a bad thing? Before she could ask, Mitch continued.

“You know, as much as anyone ever had a choice.”

Livi frowned at him.

“What do you mean?”

He shrugged.

“It’s nice to believe we have a vast array of options in life, but in reality they are pretty limited. Gender, nationality, even family and upbringing, they all craft the bulk of our life choices.” He stabbed at least half a dozen pancakes to transfer to his plate before handing her the platter. “It all factors in to the point that the vast majority of our life choices are predetermined.”

Still holding the pancake platter aloft, Livi could only stare as she worked through that concept. Even after looking at it this way, then that, she still wasn’t sure if she agreed or not.

She did know that Mitch baffled her.

They’d spent every moment of the last week together, and at times she’d felt as if she’d known him better before he’d knocked on her front door.

Livi frowned as she watched him pour enough syrup over his pancakes to make her teeth hurt.

“What?” Mitch grinned before offering her the bottle. “I left you some.”

She blinked and shook her head. Brow still tight, she lifted a jar of fruit preserves before opening it and spreading a light layer over the golden crust of her pancake.

“I was married,” she blurted out, the words surprising her as much as him.

Well, that took his attention off his pool of syrupy pancakes. She actually felt him come to attention from all the way across the small white table.

Setting his fork and knife on the sides of his plate, Mitch gave her his full attention.

She suddenly felt as if she’d stepped onto a stage in front of hundreds of people, all of whom were judging her body, her personality and even her morals.
