Chapter Twelve

“We could just go to The Comfort for dinner,” Teague grumbled.

Risa half turned, flashing an eye roll in his direction before turning back to the lettuce she was inspecting as though she was on the county health department payroll. She’d shown up in his office a half hour earlier wearing his favorite pair of ass-clinging yoga pants with a pronouncement that he had nothing to eat in the refrigerator. The next thing he knew he’d abandoned his review of the case file he desperately needed to complete, driven her out to the Harris Teeter, and was now following her around the store with the cart. The only explanation was the yoga pants. He was a sucker for those pants.

“I’m tired of eating out all the time. I want to cook.”

“You don’t have to cook.”

She turned and placed the big head of leafy greens into the cart, placing a hand on her hip while she scolded him. “I said I want to cook. We’ve been out every night and I think we need a night in.”

“We could order in and accomplish the same thing.”

“Stop. No we couldn’t.” She turned away again, her hair a shiny tumble of red curls down her back. He leaned on the cart and admired the curve of her back, the graceful way she reached for a bunch of baby carrots. Every move she made reminded him that she was a dancer at heart. “I want to cook for you. It’s what normal married people do and I miss it.”

He bit back the comment that they weren’t a normal married couple, conscious of the fact that their abnormality had felt damn good the last few days. Waking up with Risa, having her stuff all over the apartment, knowing she’d be there when he got off work. It was.... nice.

“I didn’t know you could cook.”

“I have many hidden talents,” she said with a wink and a smile that showcased the dimple on her left cheek. “There’s tons you don’t know about me.”

That was the truth.

“I think I know some things about you very well.”

He loved making her blush. Her eyes widened and a pink tint colored her cheeks as she understood where his thoughts had immediately gone. It was hard not to think about Risa and all the time they’d spent between the sheets since returning from DC a couple of days earlier. The physical chemistry part of this charade was very, very real and he was enjoying himself as he hadn’t in a long time. But this was a chance to get know her outside of the bedroom.

“So, spill some secrets.”

“Oh no.” She shook her head as she placed the carrots in the cart. “You went to law school to learn how to ask the right questions. You ask and I might tell.”

“Fine. Tell me how you learned to cook.”

“Gloria. She was a great cook and tried to pass it on to me. It was nice to hang out with her in the kitchen and just be a normal kid for a while.
