Chapter Nine

“Amazing,” Emma said, heaving out a long, contented sigh. She turned her head to look at Liam who was lying on his back next to her and took a second to admire his profile, noting with a ridiculous rush of relief a slight bump on the bridge of his nose. At last-- an imperfection. Thank God he wasn’t completely perfect.

He turned his head and their gazes met. And held. “Yeah… amazing,” he repeated softly. “And beautiful. I knew you’d like it.”

Probably she should be alarmed, or at the very least disconcerted by the fact that he’d not only figured out what turned her on but the speed with which he’d done so. But she wasn’t. She was touched. And flattered. And thrilled in a way that she’d never before experienced. Either Liam Gallagher was an excellent guesser at what made her tick or he just really got her.

She turned her head so she was once again gazing upward. Millions of stars twinkled, glittering diamonds tossed against the inky velvet of the night sky, the glowing full moon a pearly centerpiece to the dazzling stellar display. “I have to admit, this isn’t what I expected when you said you wanted to show me something. Especially after you brought me to your place.”

No, stargazing from the deck that ran the entire length of the back of his cabin definitely hadn’t crossed her mind as a possibility. When he’d pulled in the driveway, Emma had still been internally debating the wisdom of getting naked with him. God knows from a strictly physical standpoint she wanted to. Desperately. Her libido, which had been in a Rip Van Winkle-type sleep for months, was now wide awake and ready to rock ‘n roll. Yet her better judgment kept interjecting, warning her not to give in to her raging hormones.

Be smart and wait, whispered her better judgment.

Screw smart and waiting, screamed her libido. Then screw that sexy man until you’re both comatose.

Sex on a first date isn’t your style, said Better Judgment.

Your style sucks, argued Libido. You need a makeover.

You’ll regret it in the morning, warned Better Judgment.

You’ll be too busy remembering how great it was to have any regrets, insisted Libido. Stop overthinking everything and go get naked!

Behave yourself, admonished Better Judgment.

Bang him like a drum, encouraged Libido.

Libido was definitely winning the battle and Emma had exited Liam’s pick-up truck fully expecting-- and anticipating-- she’d end up flat on her back in his bedroom. She hadn’t expected that instead of heading inside, he’d lead her along a narrow cement path to the rear of the house where they’d climbed wooden steps to the spacious deck which overlooked the lake. He’d opened a storage chest and grabbed a quilt. After spreading it on the deck floor, he flopped down, patted the spot next to him, and said with a grin, “Best view of the stars in London.”

So here she was, flat on her back but nowhere near his bedroom, with him next to her. Stargazing. No, not what she’d expected.
