Chapter Six

‡

Melanie had always heard that the first time wasn’t very good. That, in her experience was a lie. But, her second time was even better. It was dark outside now, moonlight glittering on the lake. She’d left the cakes out to cool, the frosting stuck in the fridge to wait until she got around to actually decorating anything. She loved the function of fondant, but she preferred frosting. Regular old, butter-and-sugar-filled frosting.

She wasn’t sure how she’d gone from sex to frosting in her mind. Actually, it made sense. The two were closely linked. Indulgent, fantastic, potentially bad for you.

She shifted, looking over at Luke who was lying on his back, his forearm thrown over his eyes, his breathing ragged. She took a moment just to study him. To look at him like she’d never looked at her friend before. At the little lines around his eyes, the deep grooves that bracketed his mouth. His well-defined muscles, the hair on his chest, trailing down toward that very masculine part of him that was no longer a secret from her.

In that moment, she thought her chest might crack open. Which wasn’t what she was looking for. She was looking for a different sensation. One of chains dropping loose, freeing her from all the baggage she’d carried with her for years upon years. She didn’t feel free. She just felt chained to the bed. Chained to him.

She slipped away from Luke, dressing for the third time that day, and padding out into the kitchen. She opened up the fridge, retrieved the frosting and checked the temperature on the cakes.

She couldn’t afford to be distracted too much. She had this wedding to contend with after all. A huge wedding meant a lot of cake. A large bridal party and rehearsal dinner meant even more. Which meant she needed to be cake focused. Not cock focused.

Her lips twitched, humor and her own joke making her smile. It was possible she was going a little bit crazy. But then, if anyone was worth going a little crazy for, it was Luke. That made her frown. Luke specifically was not supposed to be important. Her chest clenched tight. She was just having some kind of emotional reaction to the physical stuff that had gone on between them. It was chemical. Hormonal. Unavoidable. She would have felt that way about Joel, the cowboy. If that was his name.

Forget that. She would not have felt this way about Joel.

She eyed the frosting in the bowl, seriously considering just eating this batch.

No, she wasn’t going to do that. She grabbed her icing spatula and plunged it deep into the
