Chapter Eleven

The next morning, Wylie opened her eyes and watched Nolan sleep, looking at his eyelashes for much longer than necessary. His short brown hair and neat fade matched the hip street aesthetic of his food truck, but those eyelashes teased his skin like feathery crescent moons. She wanted to trace the line of his cheekbone and find the hidden strength behind his beard.

He opened his eyes and blinked, focusing on her. “Good morning, gorgeous.”

She kept her head on the soft white pillow, content to let him wake up before she assaulted him with her demands for morning sex. When he smiled, she propped her head on her hand and passed the threshold between sated comfort and stated intent. He opened his lips to hers and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her onto the heat of his blanket-wrapped chest. “Good morning to you, too.” She glanced toward the connected bathroom, wondering if they could multi-task.

He tightened his hold. “Where are you going?”

“To teach a beachside yoga class—every other day, rain or shine.”

He frowned. “You can’t teach yoga in the rain.”

“No, but I usually huddle up with my customers at the nearby café and sip coffee while they indulge in the benefits of maintaining a community.”

“They don’t include you?”

She shrugged and sat up, savoring the soreness in her limbs but content to discuss the reality of her coming day. “I mean, they pay me, but I wouldn’t consider them friends. We share coffee, but no one has ever suggested eating at the farmer’s market or grabbing a cocktail. Why would they? We come from different worlds. You must see some of that at the food truck. There’s always a line between the customer and the vendor.”

He shook his head and reached for her. “I’m interested in blurring that line.”

She scrambled from the bed and laughed. “Mini Mako already has plans. Got to make the money to pay the rent.”

He threw back the covers. “But that sounds lonely. Shouldn’t you enjoy what you do?”

They stood on opposite sides of the bed, each naked and ready for each other. Wylie shrugged. “I enjoy the people. Most people respond to that warmth and treat me well.”

“Except Dottie.”

“Maybe that says more about her than it says about me.”

“Maybe there wasn’t much there.”

She wondered if Dottie had revealed her candy stash to her cousin or kept it ferreted away. I found more satisfaction from savoring Nolan than treating him like something I couldn’t have. “Her loss. It is what it is.”
