Sunday Morning, Abhaile

When Tanner emerged from the office, Liam was busy wiping the counter, while Jess set out stools at the tables. Every time she glanced at Liam from across the room, her body recalled the way he’d felt pressed against her, and a delightful shudder skittered down her limbs, resting low in her belly.

Behind the bar, Liam had pulled away first, which was probably for the best. Tanner’s cough had reminded them that they were not alone. And am I legit the kind of woman who just shags some guy she hasn’t seen for twenty years, after only a few conversations? Her lickerish, throbbing vajay had seemed to think she was.

Jess had to admit that she’d gladly taken the chance to be alone with him. It had been the messy hair. The way he’d moved with ease behind the bar, towel slung over his broad shoulder, and fingers manoeuvring the glassware with confidence. The way he’d asked carefully, thoughtfully, about Darren, and then later, had teased her mercilessly—suggestively. It had been the way she shivered when he’d whispered in that accent of his.

When her arm had brushed his, her skin had flushed with heat and her breath had caught in her throat. She’d swallowed, eyes locked on his. He’d brazenly slid his hand around her waist, pulling her close—hard—against him. Something deep in her core had reminded her how much she missed being handled like that.

She’d released something the night before, with Tanner; thoughts and feelings that had been chaining her to memories of an old life. She knew Darren would always hold a place in her heart, but after letting everything out, she was making space. This trip had opened a part of her that had been closed off; it filled her with the hope that she could let someone else in.

When she’d stood there behind the bar, pressed against Liam, she’d realised that the slow burn she felt inside was for him. The real Liam. Not just the one from twenty years ago, or from her fantasies. She’d willed him to put his lips on her. Anywhere. Everywhere. Every fibre of her being had begged, just do it.

But he hadn’t.

Instead, his cheek had feathered hers as he whispered low and teasing in her ear, “So glad yer here, Jess.”

Sweet Jesus. If that wasn’t a basement-flood moment, she didn't know what was.

She watched now—from the corner of her eye—the way he leaned over the counter, wiping in broad circles with concentration, brows slightly furrowed. He caught her eyes once, and raised his eyebrows suggestively with a half grin playing at his lips, like they shared a secret. She looked away quickly and blushed, flustered. Lord, I’ll need some dry knickers after this.

Liam chuckled under his breath like he could hear her thoughts.

If Tanner noticed the tension between them, he didn’t let on, and instead, turned up the lights and flipped the sign on the door to ‘Open.’

“Right so, ye two,” he announced, clapping Liam on the shoulder, and then snatching the cloth from his hand.
