CHAPTER THIRTEEN

They ate hurriedly, both much hungrier for each other than for the excellent Thai takeaways they’d collected on the way to the apartment.

“Can you help me with one thing first?” Sammie asked, laying down her fork. “I have some boxes on the back seat of the car. If we carry them up together it will probably only be one trip. I meant to do it last night, but...”

“But you were all sexed out?”

“Mmmm. They were the last thing on my mind.”

“Good to know.” He sent her a grin, and bent to scratch Zorro’s furry head as the little cat wreathed herself around his legs in the hope of more dinner. “Let’s see if I can distract you just as well tonight.”

Sammie already felt thoroughly distracted. Watching Nick across the table, and imagining what they’d soon be doing, had her switched to nicely warm, and she knew ‘hot’ would happen seconds after he touched her. “The boxes have everything I own in the world,” she joked as she divided the start of another bottle of wine between their glasses. “I sold off or gave away Grandpa’s furniture and other things. No point keeping it since I’m leaving the country. This is just some personal stuff and books. Memories. Ray can stow the boxes in his big garage while I’m gone. I should have offloaded them there before I left.”

She took a nervous gulp of wine. Last night they’d spontaneously combusted and ended up in bed within minutes. Tonight was premeditated—she’d been anticipating making love ever since they left Brian and Gaynor’s.

Be honest, Sammie—ever since you left work. Or ever since you had lunch with him?

And they’d talked about it on the way home, deliberately winding each other up. She had no idea how they’d managed a civilized meal without ripping each other’s clothes off.

Nick had already removed his leather jacket, but she itched to peel up his thin black Merino jersey so she could stroke and kiss his chest and shoulders. And to unzip his blue jeans and work them down his long legs...

“What’s your itinerary?”

She dragged her mind back to their recent topic of conversation. “I haven’t booked anything yet because I’m waiting for my passport, but you can get round-the-world air tickets that let you stop off lots of places. I thought Hawaii to start with. Somewhere English speaking but way different from here. Then Hong Kong. With a side trip to China—even if it’s only a few days.”

“Outer Mongolia?”

Sammie had no idea whether he was poking fun at her or not. “Maybe,” she agreed. “There are so many places I want to see.”

“And you’re going on your own?”

“You sound like Grandpa. But I’ll meet people and make friends and take temporary jobs sometimes. I won’t be lonely.”

He shook his head but made no further comment about traveling. “Keys?” he suggested.

It took a moment for her to remember. Car keys. The boxes. “Oh, right.” She found her bag and dug them out, then they took the elevator down to the parking basement.
