Alessia insists on dishing up, and I let her do that while I set the table. Surreptitiously I watch her as she busies herself in the kitchen. Her movements are neat and elegant. She has an intrinsic, sensuous grace, and I wonder if she’s ever been a dancer. When she turns, her glorious hair spills down around her elfin face, and with a delicate flick of her wrist she flips it out of the way. Her long, slender fingers hold the knife as she slices open the baked potatoes, releasing wisps of steam. With her brow fixed in concentration, she spreads butter on them, and she stops to lick some melted butter from her index finger.

My groin tightens.

Oh, sweet Lord.

She glances up and catches me watching her.

“What is it?” she asks.

“Nothing.” My voice is gruff. I clear my throat. “I just like looking at you. You’re quite lovely.” I move quickly and fold her in my arms, taking her by surprise. “I’m glad you’re here with me.” My lips meet hers in a quick, loving kiss.

“I am glad, too,” she says with a shy smile. “Maxim.” My face splits in two. I love hearing my name in her accent. I grab our plates.

“Let’s eat.”
