CHAPTER EIGHT

IT WAS just after ten o’clock when Johnny drove Jess back to her apartment. Yet, seeing how nervous she was acting, he wasn’t going to push her into anything.

He pulled up next to her car. “How about some dessert?”

She stared at him. “You didn’t want dessert at the restaurant.”

“I wanted your dessert. What’s the fun of owning a bakery and not being able to raid the place?”

She finally smiled. “I’m closed tomorrow, but there might be some leftovers in the fridge.”

“Now you’re talking.”

They got out of his truck and walked around to the back door of the shop. Jess unlocked the door and flipped on the under-counter lights. Walking to the large refrigerator, she removed her coat, then opened the door to find two pies and a carrot cake.

“Oh, pie!” Johnny said as he removed his jacket and hat. “What kind?”

“There’s apple and chocolate.”

“Chocolate.”

Jess took out the pie, put it on the counter and then got plates and forks. She cut them each a piece and placed a dollop of whipped cream on each, then handed him his plate.

“Thank you.”

He dug in and she found she liked watching him. Even the simple things, like the way he chewed, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed. He looked at her and she froze.

“You aren’t eating.” He cut a piece of his and offered it to her.

Jess opened her mouth to accept the offering. She couldn’t have said what it tasted like because she was too mesmerized by Johnny’s actions.

“It’s good, huh?”

She nodded.

“I think I need another taste.” He set down the plate, and lowered his head. “This way,” he breathed as his mouth closed over hers. He then pulled back and looked her in the eyes. “It was good before, but so much better when your flavor is mixed in.”

Jess finally drew air into her lungs, feeling more daring now. She managed to scoop up a piece of her pie and offered it to him. He took it.

“Let’s see if you’re right,” she said, then leaned toward him and placed her mouth against his.

With a groan, he pulled her against him and deepened the kiss. She went willingly into his arms as her mouth opened and he dove inside, moving his tongue over hers, and her need for him grew stronger.

“Damn, you even taste better than the pie.” He lifted her up on the counter, and went back again for another taste.

Jess was drowning in the man. She felt his hands move over her back, then he slipped them under her sweater.

He broke off the kiss, but his hands were still working their magic. “I’ve wanted to touch you like this all night,” he confessed.

She locked her arms around his neck, unable to slow her own breathing. “I wanted you to touch me, too.”

“Looks like we’re getting our wish.” He kissed her again, then pulled up her sweater, exposing her lacy bra. When he touched her again, she moaned softly.

He raised his head. “Jess, I’m not going to survive much more.
