Chapter Twenty-two

The dishes were in the dishwasher, the table cleared, and Portia was back on the beanbag chair, softly chatting to her teddy as her eyes drifted shut. Leslie refilled Kate’s wine glass and made herself a cup of green tea before she settled next to her on the couch.

“Thanks for the great dinner,” Kate said. “I’m going to have to get back into the habit of cooking again now that I won’t have Marta’s help.”

“You’re welcome anytime, but I admit I rarely cook. I usually eat at work or with my mom and dad. This was a nice change.” Leslie clutched her mug afraid if she set it down, she’d pull Kate into her arms. “Is Portia going out for Halloween this year?”

Kate groaned. “I suppose she’ll want to. She was a little too young last year, but her cousins have been chattering about it already so she’s aware of it.”

“You’re welcome to bring her to the restaurant. We all dress up and have special treats for the kids. My mom loves it.” She hesitated, wondering if she was being pushy. “In fact, I have a pumpkin I saved for Portia to help carve.”

Kate smiled. “Thanks, that’s incredibly sweet. She hasn’t carved one yet. I doubt my nephews would be interested in having a little girl following them on Halloween, either. I know she’d love a pumpkin, but I think her toy box project was enough for tonight.”

“Come back tomorrow?” Leslie knew she was pushing but couldn’t seem to stop.

“Maybe. I’ll let you know. I have a television being delivered sometime after four.” Kate finished her wine and took her glass to the kitchen. “Do you mind if I make a cup of tea?”

Leslie sprang off the couch. “You relax. I’ll get you one.” She stood close to Kate in the kitchen aware Portia was engrossed in play in the living room. She caught her slight grin before Kate pinned her against the counter and pressed her lips to hers.

“I’ve wanted to do that since we got here.” Kate leaned away and spoke softly.

Leslie gave in to her need to feel Kate. She wrapped her arms around her and held her tightly against her. She brushed her lips over her neck grateful for the counter holding her up when Kate tipped her head back in supplication. She nuzzled and kissed, careful not to leave any marks. Kate’s whimpers fueled her desire, but the small voice filtering into her lust-filled brain broke their connection.

“Mommy?”

Kate stepped back and Leslie wanted to know if the blush across her cheeks and neck extended over her breasts.

“Right here, honey.” Kate gave her a small smile and shrugged slightly before putting more distance between them. She let Portia lead her from the kitchen.

Kate and Portia were rolling off the beanbag chair as if it were a hill when Leslie entered the living room with two cups of tea. She sat and watched for a few minutes while she sipped her tea and wished she were in Portia’s place.
