Chapter 12: Aiden

I had been feeling so elated before we got to the house. Wondering if maybe things could work out between us, maybe I could finally open myself up again. Maybe there could be sunshine after all this rain. But now looking at Casey, trying not to let me see her cry, was too much. It was too much for my heart to handle. I wanted to run to her, beg her to forgive me, do anything to get that moment back, to watch her face light up and hear her sparkling laughter. The impulse was too much, too intense. I didn’t want to feel this way about anyone.

But I was here, and had all this food, maybe things would feel different after dinner. I gave Casey a minute to figure herself out and reached into the car to grab the bags, carrying one of the cloth bags in each hand. It really was going to be a delicious meal.

I headed into the large rustic kitchen and put the bags down on the giant solid wood butcher block island. I washed my hands and began chopping the porcini mushrooms and looked out the window to see Casey smiling again, throwing a stick for Max who was hopping around enthusiastically.

I couldn’t help myself, my face broke into a huge grin. There was something truly special about seeing her with my dog, it was so sweet. I continued to chop veggies and set up the kitchen for a while, and eventually Casey came in. She was breathless, her hair was mussed again from the wind and chasing Max around the yard. It was so sexy and adorable at once, I seriously considered bending her over the island right then and there.

No! I had promised myself we wouldn’t have sex until after dinner and I was going to stick with that. I wanted to get to know her more, see if there was really something here besides this heat between us.

“Would you like some wine?” I asked her, wiping my hands on a towel. She paused before responding, taking in the sight of my kitchen and all the delicious food laid out before her with wide eyes.

“Um, yes please!” she said, seeming to get a bit more shy. I guess the house could be kind of intimidating if you weren’t used to it.

Thankfully, Max was there to lighten the mood as he always did. He padded in and started nudging my pockets, nearly knocking me over. I laughed and pointed to a large glass jar on a shelf across the room full of doggie treats

“Can you pass me that jar?” I said.

Casey grabbed the jar and paused.

“What would happen if I gave him the treats instead?” she asked, her tone mischievous.

I pondered this for a moment than said

“You’d never get rid of him.”

She grinned devilishly and immediately opened the lid of the treats. I laughed heartily and Max bounded over to her at lightning speed.

She gave him a few and he wagged his tail excitedly, taking them back to his dog bed to chew on.
