Chapter Nineteen

Leigh was fifteen minutes early to her second lesson with Peyton. When she signed in, Marcus told her that Peyton was just finishing up with her current client and would be in shortly. Leigh grabbed her bag and went outside, stopping just short of the empty putting green. She dropped her bag, pulled out her driver, and began her stretching routine.

She’d thought of Peyton every day since their first lesson, either when practicing her swing in her backyard or lying alone in bed at night. A few times her mind had drifted to her during a particularly boring meeting or conference call. Her body came to life every time as well, and more than once she took advantage of the privacy of her bedroom to release her frustration.

Leigh had had difficulty concentrating the last day or two, anticipating seeing Peyton today. She’d chastised herself more than once, but her body and mind refused to listen. This afternoon, she’d barely been able to sit still and forced herself not to leave right after lunch. She left at three, ran a few errands, and drove around the large block several times, sitting in her car for thirty minutes before finally allowing herself to get out and check in. She had no idea what was wrong with her. Her attraction to Peyton was borderline obsession.

“All warmed up?”

Surprised, Leigh spun around. Peyton had come up behind her, wearing knee-length shorts and a Copperwind polo shirt, topped with a Copperwind visor. She held a tall plastic glass of what looked like iced tea in her left hand.

The excitement that had tickled her stomach for days turned into drunken butterflies when she saw her. She couldn’t remember having this type of visceral reaction to a woman in a very, very long time.

“Yep. All done. Traffic wasn’t bad, and I got here early so as not to waste your time.” Leigh knew she was rambling and forced her mouth to shut. Peyton smiled, and Leigh suspected she knew how nervous she was. God, get a grip, Leigh. You’re thirty-seven, not a teenager.

“Great. Let’s start on the driving range, and then we’ll play a few holes.” Peyton picked up her bag. “Did you play this weekend?”

Leigh had, and she gave Peyton the Cliffs Notes version but omitted how she had looked for her on every hole and how disappointed she was when she didn’t see her all day.

“Okay,” Peyton said, dropping the basket of balls onto the ground in front of her. “Let’s see how you’re doing.”

Leigh set her tee and picked up a ball, all the while telling herself to relax. If she didn’t, she’d make a complete ass of herself. That’s all she needed to add to her ragged nerves.

Her first and second shots were pretty good, but her third veered to the right after Peyton reminded her to move her hands. They shook when she remembered Peyton touching her. Leigh wanted Peyton to tell her exactly where to put her hands—on her, not the club.
