Chapter Twelve

Shep

The next morning over breakfast, Jane’s lips are curved in mischief.

“Last night was fun,” I say, sipping my coffee while standing by the kitchen sink, one hand on her hip.

“It was.” she says.

I lean in and take a deep inhale of her honey scent. Damn whoever is not turning the city upside down to find her right now.

“Whoever is missing you right now doesn’t deserve you,” I say.

Her eyes go wide. “I hardly know enough about myself to know if that’s true. What if I’m a complete dolt? What if I’m mean to animals?”

“I don’t think you’re mean to animals.”

“For all you know, my old personality will come back and I’ll be a different person. A person you might not like.”

“Impossible,” I say.

“Why is that impossible?”

“Because I see you. You’re kind. Trusting. You aren’t afraid to try new things.”

“Chicken and waffles is not really a stretch. I welcome all carbs including those that are involved in breading poultry.”

“And you’re funny.”

She sighs. “You should stop paying me compliments, or I’m going to fall for you.”

I wrap her up in my arms and look over her head, out onto the view out the kitchen sink window. Pops’s house is on a hill overlooking the city.

“I want to go to work with you,” she says.

I look at her. She’s biting her lip, looking hopeful.

She chirps, “Put me to work. Maybe I’ve always wanted to be a barista?”

I laugh. “I send people to school for that. But if you want a job, it’s yours. I can use a floater. Can you work a register? Grind beans? Wash tables?”

“Um, yes?”

“Is that an answer or a question?”

“It’s a declaration. I want a job.”

I set down my coffee cup and circle my arms around her hips. “I like the sound of that. Then I can keep my eye on you.”

“I like you keeping an eye on me. It’ll be nice foreplay for later.”

Shit, there’s my cock, waking up again. If I didn’t think Pops would be awake any minute I might bend this girl over the table and take her right now. She looks so damn sexy in my day-old gym clothes. Mixing her scent with mine.

It’s enough to make me ache to have her every morning. To meld our lives together. Forget whatever bad shit happened to her yesterday, or the day before, and start over with a clean slate, together.

I kiss her on the forehead. “I really want to make out.”

“Same,” she says.

“But we gotta get to work early.”

“Do we have a break time?”

“As the owner, I can take a break whenever I want. I mean, I did skip out on about nine hours yesterday.”

She laughs. “That’s inexcusable. You should fire you.”

I say, “I should.”

I really should wait until break time to kiss her properly. Sneak her into my office and lock the door for five minutes and taste her mouth.

But I can’t wait another second. I lean in and cover her lips with mine.

I hear a tiny gasp of surprise from her, followed by her hands on my ass like she owns it.
