Lexie

We’d been in one of those big round booths with the velvet cushions. The kind that, back in the day, had a curtain that the server would pull across the opening, giving the mobsters and showgirls total privacy. We didn’t have that level of privacy the night we got married, but we were way into the night and way, way into each other.

“Take off your panties,” he’d whispered. “And give them to me.”

“Here?” I’d squeaked and he’d nodded, that blond hair falling over his eyes and I wasn’t proud of it, but I would have done just about anything he told me at that point. I shimmied out of my panties, handed them to him, and he tucked them into his pocket. “Come closer,” he’d whispered, and of course I had. And he’d put his hands between my legs, making a sound when he found me smooth and soft and so, so wet for him.

I came pretty fast and he handed me back my underwear with a wink.

“I’ve never done that,” he’d said. “In a crowded restaurant.”

“Well, you’ve got real natural talent,” I’d said like it was something I did all the time and we’d laughed and ordered champagne cocktails.

Telling him about it was what Henny would call a mistake. It had taken me months to pour enough water on those memories of my night with Ethan that I didn’t want to relive it anymore. And now I was laying them out like a feast for both of us.

Flirting. This was terrible flirting and I should be ashamed of myself.

Except I was all hot under my clothes and my blood was pounding between my legs and I couldn’t get his voice out of my head or the memory of his fingers on my thigh. This was why I wasn’t supposed to stay. This exact reason. Because it had been a drunken one-night stand and I wanted to make it more.

Give me a crumb and I would want a cake.

“Lexie!” he cried and caught up with me on the snowy sidewalk outside the diner. He stepped in close like he wanted more details but that would be such a bad idea. So I stepped back and pointed to the square. “What’s going on here?”

There were booths set up and a little stage. All the shops and restaurants around the square were hopping.

“It’s the Christmas Jamboree. At about five each night Santa sits here and kids can get pictures and artists set up tables and sell their stuff. There’s food and a bar. Games.”

“Sounds magical,” I said.

“It is, really. Would you like to see it?”

“I work at the desk until seven.”

“It’s open until ten. I’d love to take you, Lexie. You can consider it research—”

I shook my head. “We’re already blurring the lines. This is supposed to be research lunch and you’re flirting with me.”

“Well, you’re flirting right back, Lexie.”

I rolled my eyes at him. “I know. And it’s going to stop.”

“Why, though?” he asked, and I turned and walked away. In my new boots, my feet didn’t slide on the ice and I could still feel my pinky toes.
