Round Two

“You grill one mean steak,” Ali said, cutting off a huge chunk and putting it in her mouth. She was ravenous like an anaconda eying a deer. Maybe it had to do with the massive cardio workout she’d just had.

The minute Liam finally heaved himself off of her and went into his bathroom, she’d rolled over looking for another condom in his drawer. He’d caught her in the act riffling around when he came out. She guessed he didn’t mind since she was on her hands and knees looking for them.

Or maybe it was his hand coming down on her bare behind that had her yelping, then turning her and covering her again. “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, slanting his mouth over hers.

“Getting ready for round two,” she said. “And I’ll let you lead this time.”

Boy did he lead, hence the need to dive into dinner like a starving woman craving chocolate and a bag of chips at the same time.

“Grilling is my thing,” he said, cutting off a piece of his own.

“Oh, so you’ve got a few things that you’re good at then?”

He winked at her and she found that she was loving this playful side she hadn’t really been expecting to find.

Sure, she knew he was kind. She knew he was sweet. He was considerate too. Not to mention caring. She’d seen all those sides of him so far and every one of them was slowly sucking him into a place in her heart that she hadn’t been sure she wanted to open up to him...or anyone.

She was learning it was a little too late at this point.

Watching him with her mother the other night at dinner had been the final turning point.

Was he uncomfortable with what her mother had been hinting at? If he was, he wasn’t showing it, not like she was. But he was attentive to everything her mother asked and wanted for the farm after the ownership was transferred.

He could have humored her mother, but Ali knew it wasn’t in his nature. If he didn’t want to do something, he’d just tell you upfront. Instead he tried to ease her mother’s mind before the sale was complete. Not too many men in their lives ever tried to ease her mother’s or her mind. No one other than her grandfather.

In the past several years it all fell on her mother, who in turn held back a lot from Ali. Now Ali wished she’d asked more questions. That she’d helped her mother out more when she was recently hearing of all the concerns that her mother had dealt with for years, with no one to lean on.

“I told you I was good with my hands,” he said.

She giggled again. She’d never been much of a giggler that she could remember in her life, but Liam sure did bring some giddiness out of her.

“Do you have dessert? I mean your mother is a baker, so there has to be something here, right?”

He laughed. “Or you could bake me something since your mother is a baker too.
