Once Lily hung up with Noah, it took her fifteen minutes to choke down her lunch and pack up her laptop at the coffeeshop. She thought about calling her contact at the store who’d supplied the tiles to double check her order had been placed correctly but in the end it made more sense just to go up to the cabin and verify it for herself. The last thing she needed was another screw-up. What she’d thought would be an easy first job was quickly becoming a pain in the rear.
Only Noah’s truck was parked in the drive when she pulled up. She saw the stack of tiles wrapped in plastic sitting in the dirt and went straight to them with her cellphone in hand. Not only had she made a detailed project list for everything she’d ordered, she’d taken pictures of every sample so she would be able to double check the real thing in case of a screw up. A screw up just like this one.
Walking around the tiles, she checked quickly for a shipment list, usually stapled to the outside of every construction delivery, but found none. She heard Noah come out just as she was ripping into the plastic to grab a tile off the top.
“I thought you said you had a tiling crew here waiting for me.”
“Oh, yeah,” he said with a shrug. “I sent them to get lunch. Figured it would take a while to figure this out.”
She held the tile up next to the picture on her phone and verified that they were exactly the same light blue ceramic.
“It’s right,” she told him, tucking her phone back into the pocket of her jacket.
“Well, that was easy,” he said with a laugh. He began to come closer but when she frowned at him he stopped.
“Easy for you, maybe. I had to cut lunch short and drive all the way up here.” And she mentally slapped herself in the forehead as she realized she could have just sent him a text with the picture of the tile. She really needed more sleep. Or more caffeine, she wasn’t sure which.
A breeze picked up leaves and whipped her hair around her face. She pulled her jacket tighter around herself and wished she would have worn a sweater. Although snow wasn’t in the forecast, the air smelled fresh and crisp, like it was just on the horizon. Winter was coming, whether she was ready for it or not. It was always a gamble, working in the mountains. Snow could hit at any time.
“Sorry about that,” he replied and leaned against the porch railing. He stuck his big hands in the pockets of his jeans and she gave him a quick once-over, trying but failing to ignore the bulge in his pants. She knew she could just go to him right now, slide herself up next to his big beautiful body and have him. Nobody was even around. She felt again his tongue in her mouth from the night before, his fingers reaching up her bare thigh-
“Hello?” he asked.
