Chapter Seven

Dom held the strawberry out to her. He’d already dipped it in some heavy cream, and the white liquid was spilling on their picnic blanket.

“Come and get it.”

“Dom? Come on. You’re making a mess.”

“You’re a neatness freak.”

Their wedding was days away, and instead of being home with their parents to prepare, they were out at the park, enjoying each other. He’d called her away from her work, not that she was having a lot of joy with her latest story.

Her muse had vanished since this wedding prep had started.

Her characters weren’t talking to her.

It was scary. She did love to write most of the time, but between the wedding and her charity work and volunteering, her stories had taken a back seat.

“Come on, have a bite of my strawberry.”

She rolled her eyes but leaned over. Just as she was about to take a bite, Dom took possession of her lips, kissing her.

She didn’t fight the kiss as she wanted his lips on her.

This was what had been scaring her.

Her wedding was days away, and she had this horrible feeling she was falling in love with her soon-to-be husband.

It wasn’t possible. How could it be?

They were … friends. That was what it was.

He broke the kiss and slid the strawberry between her lips. She took a bite of the fresh fruit, closing her eyes at the taste. The cream had all but dripped off.

Some of it hit her chest.

“Oh, dear, it looks like I’m going to have to lick it off.” He leaned down, and his tongue danced across her heated skin.

“Dom! We’re out in the open. Anyone could see.”

“I don’t care. You’re going to be my wife in a matter of days. I’m not having a bachelor party because you’re the only woman I want to spend any time with.”

“You’re not having a bachelor party?”

“Nope.” He got another strawberry, dipped it in the heavy cream, and ate it himself, leaving the green cap and stalk.

“I thought it was every single guy’s rite of passage.”

“To get totally wasted and to watch strippers?”

She shrugged. “It’s what I’ve heard.”

“Yeah, because watching a woman who has so many men drooling over them is my idea of fun?”

“I didn’t say it was your idea of fun, but come on, you’ve got to admit, it sounds tempting.” If he was going to have a bachelor party then it meant nothing had changed. He was still the same party animal she remembered and these feelings she had for him were an anomaly. In time, she’d get herself in control, and nothing would come of it.

“Do you want me to have a bachelor party?” he asked.

“I’m saying I wouldn’t completely mind.”

“I’d mind.”

“Why?”

He finished off his strawberry and lifted her up so she was sitting. Crossing her legs, she glanced at his hands, which held hers.

“What is this all about?” he asked.

“Nothing. I’m just saying, this wedding is kind of rushed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it as well.”

“No, something else is going on here, and you’re not going to hide it from me.
