Chapter Seventeen

Some delicious food and a little good company. Maybe he could get Dixie in the mood for something a little more pleasurable.

Gable finished grilling the fish and turned it out onto a platter. He dumped a pile of wild rice near it. Steamed veggies already rested in a bowl. It was nice to get a chance to be with Dixie without interruptions. He carried them over to table. She’d been very busy lately.

Now to get his woman. He walked out into the living room. She lounged on the couch, her feet up, watching some television. Her hair hung in spirals around her shoulders, and her bright blue tank top molded to her breasts.

“Are you ready for some lunch, Dixie?” He stopped at the foot of the couch.

She looked up at him. “You should have told me. I would have helped fix it.”

“I grilled the fish and boiled water to steam the veggies in. The rice steamer took care of the rice.” Gable waved that away. No big deal. “Are you hungry?”

“Yes, I’m hungry. Let’s go to the kitchen. We can talk. I know you’ve been on the phone a lot lately.” Dixie tilted her head but rose to her feet and walked with him to the kitchen.

“Yes, talking to the realtor.” He nodded. Some conversation would be a good start. He had questions about her, too.

“I’m looking forward to it and the chance to enjoy some alone time with you.” Dixie raised her brows. “I think we should do something really decadent after we eat.”

“That sounds good. What do you have in mind?” Gable lifted her hand.

“Whipped cream tease.” Dixie pursed her lips, and she made a kissing noise.

“As long as I get to do some teasing, I’m in.” He nodded.

He urged her to sit and put the platter on the table along with the bowl. “What do you want to drink?”

“I think I saw a bottle of white in the fridge.” She turned the fridge.

“White will be good. I’ll get us both a glass.” He strode over to the cabinet and pulled down two wineglasses before grabbing the bottle out of the refrigerator.

He carried them back over and poured, before placing hers beside her. She smiled. He poured his own and sat down across from her.

“Have you always worked at a hospital?” Gable glanced at her. She was such a people person and cheerful. It was hard to think of her working anywhere else.

“Actually, no, I tried working at a nursing home for a little while. I thought it would be quieter than a hospital, less drama. It was in a way, but in others, it had just as much if not more drama than I’ve ever encountered at the hospital. There was also a big negative that I didn’t take into account when I started working there.” She forked up a bite of fish.

“What didn’t you take into account?” He reached over and brushed her arm. What could dissuade her from working at a nursing home?

“How attached I’d get to people because I saw them longer.
