Chapter 18

Garrett adjusted himself and Ricki so that he was now on the bottom and she was lying on his chest, her head against his heart. She didn’t know if she’d ever felt so contented. For a long moment they lay together until their breathing had slowed.

She moved so that her chin was resting on her hands that were splayed over his chest and she was looking into his beautiful eyes. She smiled at him. “I have to get to work. The bread and pastries aren’t going to bake themselves.”

“I’ll help,” he said as he helped her to her feet. “It’s the least I can do after taking you away from your work.”

She looked at him doubtfully as she picked up her panties and slipped into them. “Know anything about baking?”

He gave a boyish grin. “Mom didn’t have any girls around, so she made sure my brothers and I did our share of the baking with her standing over us. I might not be able to make anything on my own, but I follow directions real good.”

Ricki laughed and tugged on her jeans. “Let’s get busy, then.”

She felt warm and fuzzy inside as she and Garrett finished dressing and freshened up in the private bathroom in her office.

When they headed back into the kitchen, she glanced at the clock. It was almost one a.m., so she was a good hour behind schedule.

He did follow directions well and knew something about baking, so soon she had him busy kneading the bread dough while she started on the cakes. He even put on an apron when she handed it to him.

She liked working side-by-side with Garrett. It felt comfortable and like they’d been doing it for ages instead of just a few hours. She felt giddy and happy and had that satisfied feeling of a woman who’d just been made love to.

Well, a woman who’d just had wild, passionate sex with an amazing man who’d promised to make love to her “good and proper” later on.

Lettie called and apologized profusely that she’d be late because her alarm didn’t go off. It was highly unusual for Lettie to not show up on time and Ricki told her not to worry, that she had everything under control.

Garrett slid trays of cookies into the case as Ricki had instructed him to while she went around the counter to the front door and flipped the “Closed” sign to “Open”. She was still moving back toward the cases when the bells jingled, telling her she had a customer.

She turned and saw it was Deena. Ricki couldn’t help a grin when she saw her friend.

Deena looked at her quizzically. “Something’s different about you.”

Without thinking about it, Ricki glanced toward Garrett who was closing the case that he’d just put cookies into.

Deena’s expression seemed to freeze. She looked from Ricki to Garrett and back and then a knowing light was in her eyes. “Looks like you two have been busy.”

Ricki hesitated. “We’ve been baking through the wee hours of the morning.
