Chapter Fourteen

“Kumquat.”

Carter jerked up and practically off of me. “What did you say?” His eyes were searching mine.

“Kumquat?” I said it like a question. “Why? What does it mean?”

“Are you sure you don’t have any idea?”

Duh, I just asked didn’t I? “No. It just popped into my head. Why would I be thinking of a fruit? It doesn’t make any sense to me.”

I could tell Carter was deciding whether to tell me or not, but I wasn’t about to let him withhold information that could be crucial to my recovery.

“It’s our secret code.” Our secret code? Did we make our own club?

“Secret code for what?”

“Sex.” He sounded like he was embarrassed. I wasn’t. My mind was obviously at a place where Carter wasn’t letting my body go.

“We have a secret code for sex?” Hmm. It sounded like we’re a little kinky. I wasn’t sure how to take that. Do we somehow use kumquats? I really don’t like kumquats, they’re too tart.

He was blushing again. Wow, he was almost as prone to them as I was.

“Carter, why do we need a code word?”

“It’s just a little thing we do, it’s no big deal.” He tried to dismiss it, but I raised my eyebrows so that he would continue. “Sometimes if we’re out and there are other people around it might go like “Do you want a kumquat?” and no one else will know what we’re talking about. It’s not like we are constantly using that word in public. We actually use it more around the house. It’s one of our things. It’s only for us.” His explanation gave me a warm feeling inside and not just inside my loins. We had cutie couple phrases. That was awesome.

I smiled at Carter. “I want a kumquat.” He raised his brows.

“What about dinner? I thought we were going to have some risotto, and you know how long it takes.”

I could tell he was trying to brush me off, but he was weakening. I was determined to wear him down. I was afraid if we got up off the couch right now we were not going to be back in this position any time today. That was unacceptable. I was going to have to have some satisfaction. Today.

I wanted to demand sex from Carter. He was obviously waiting for my memory to come back. I could understand his position; he was a standup guy, blah blah blah. The thing was I no longer felt like he was just Cheryl’s brother, someone I hardly knew. I had remembered enough to know that we were an item. A pretty hot ticket. Truthfully, and I’m not a slut or anything, but I have had sex on the first date before. More than once. To guys I knew less than Carter, the old Carter I mean. Granted, things never really turned out well, but I blame that more on the guys themselves as opposed to the sex. Really. Admittedly, the sex had left something to be desired, but I just couldn’t see bad sex between Carter and me.
