As the warm water rushed over her soapy hands, Delilah thought about her immediate reaction to Will’s question, the way her heart had seized. It would mean the world to have her brother show up and tell her he believed in her enough to support her franchise.

At the same time, though, she’d had a stab of fear. She didn’t want to leave Will and his sister, the competition, and this sprawling ranch filled with ice-cold creeks and wild animals, cabins, trails, and teal-colored lakes.

These feelings for Will…she couldn’t explain it. He wasn’t her type, and yet she wanted to spend every damn minute with him. And that kiss in the hydroponic farm?

She’d never had a kiss like that. Something so electric, so erotic. It had uncorked this desperate need for more. It wasn’t just exciting to kiss in the hallway outside the tasting kitchen…it had called on something deep, primal. Him.

Mine.

She’d had this crazy feeling like, if she didn’t get closer to him, meld with him, she would combust.

Shutting off the faucet, she reached for a clean dish towel.

No question, Will was an intimidating man. His energy bristled with purpose, and he didn’t waste a single moment, word, or calorie. Everywhere he went, people stopped and watched him. It was almost comical when someone froze in the middle of licking an ice cream cone to take him in. Women eyed him with want and possession; men eyed him with awe and envy.

But nobody saw those moments when he held his sister and agonized over whether he was doing right by her. No one saw him curled up in her bed reading books, as she bounced Squawk in her lap.

And the way he looks at me? That carnal hunger—the promise of what he’d do to her body if they were alone—Glory be—it sent a direct hit to her heart, making her giddy.

She liked him, for sure. But that kiss made her realize she more than liked him.

God, she had to have him. Just had to.

“You coming?”

She turned to find Chef Alonso, the only one remaining in the kitchen, at the double doors. “Absolutely.”

Time to mingle, she set the towel down and followed him out. She couldn’t wait to take in everyone’s expressions as they tasted her food.

A crush of people filled the dining room with laughter and conversation. Some dressed casually in jeans and T-shirts, others more formally. Little kids darted through the crowd, and waiters carried silver trays.

Each chef had her own white-clothed table, and guests could read the placard to see the ingredients. Delilah had written a little story on her card, explaining why she’d chosen the elements.

An older man stood at her table with a glass of wine in one hand and her hors d’oeuvre in the other. She could only see him in profile, but he was eyeballing it carefully, as if deconstructing it. She hoped he liked what he saw, because it was really pretty. And it tasted great.

She still had the flavor on her tongue.
