Addy

I was bold, but only so bold, wearing a fitted black jacket over my new flirty blouse. But Barry seemed to appreciate it all, including my tight dark indigo jeans and my half boots.

“Wow.” He took my hand when I met him as agreed outside the door to his restaurant. “You look amazing, Addy.”

“Thank you.” I blushed. His heated gaze said even more than his words how much he appreciated how I looked. “Rachel did my hair and makeup.” I had beach curls, subtle earth-toned eyeshadow, and coral lipstick.

“She always had a way with those things.”

“Still does.”

“How’s she holding up?” he asked.

My lips flattened. “Not as well as I would hope.”

“It’s going to take her a while.” His expression grew soft. “She loved Daniel very much.”

“Yes, and he loved her.” I stared at Barry, my eyes burning. “Daniel was a good guy. Those are rare. Difficult to get over.” And yet here I was, taking a risk with one.

“You okay, babe?” Barry captured a lock of my hair and tucked it behind my ear.

No and yes. No, because my heart was hammering with nerves. But yes, because I wanted to be here with him, to know and experience pure affection at least once in my life.

“We don’t have to go out, you know.” I turned my head to kiss his hand before he withdrew it. “We’d have more time for other things if we stay in.”

His eyes darkening, he hissed in a sharp breath that I felt between my legs, remembering the day before.

“We didn’t talk about what happened yesterday.” Barry narrowed his gaze. “Maybe we should.”

“Why?”

Studying him through my mascaraed lashes, I pulled the lapels of my jacket together. Should I have insisted on reciprocating the previous day? Or had he changed his mind about doing this with me?

“I very much want to go upstairs and get naked with you.” He gave me a dark sensual look. “But I also want to go out, talk, and share my day with you.”

“I’d like that too.” I lowered my hands to my sides. “It’s just that yesterday was very good, and—”

“Only very good?” He cocked a brow.

“You know what I mean.” Warmth returned to my cheeks.

“You’re bolder when you’re naked.”

“Only with you,” I said.

“I like how you are with me.” His mouth slowly curled. “Maybe we should stay in,” he said low.

Heat pooled between my thighs. Apparently, that voice of his was all the foreplay I needed.

“Maybe we should.”

I placed my hands on his chest, smoothing my palms over the soft blue cotton of his shirt. His steely muscles flexing to my touch, I licked my lips. He looked very handsome in his button-down shirt, dark indigo jeans, and a sandy-colored suede jacket that matched his boots.

“I would, except that would ruin the rest of my plans. I need the ingredients from the market to feed you.” He captured my hands, gathering them in his, and pressed his lips to my skin. “Taking care of your needs, all of them, is my priority.
