Chapter Thirteen

It was almost a week later before Felicia got to see Steven again. He’d been out of town for a few days for Air Force training, and she’d stayed extremely busy at the vet clinic. Someone had brought in a stray cat that had been hit by a car. So, not only did the cat not have an owner, but she had a broken back leg and was pregnant. She had the kittens prematurely, so their entire staff had been nursing the five kittens round the clock. So far, one had died, but Felicia hoped now that they were over the seventy-two hour mark, they wouldn’t lose any more.

When Steven had called, sounding almost as tired as she felt, she had been ready to cancel their date. But then he’d offered to bring a DVD and pizza, and she caved, opening up a bottle of Shiraz in anticipation of his arrival.

She’d already drunk half a glass when she heard his car on the gravel parking lot. She opened her door and smiled as he got out of his car with a smile and holding a pizza box. Suddenly, guilt assailed her. He’d been travelling all week and still made the time for her, and she’d almost cancelled. She had to do better by him.

She walked out to meet him by his car. Greeting him with a smile, she relieved him of the pizza. “Hey, you.” She leaned up and brushed a light kiss across his cheek. “I’ve missed this face this week.”

She started to turn to go inside, but he tugged her back. “I’ve missed you, too.” He pulled her to him and gave her a real kiss, filled with a passion that surprised her.

As his tongue explored her mouth, she had to make an effort to participate and not to pull away, which was her first instinct. But as soon as she could, she leaned back, breaking the kiss.

“Well, that was a surprise,” she tried to sound teasing but wondered about his out-of-character behavior. They didn’t do PDA. “Come in before our pizza gets cold.”

A frown furrowed between his eyebrows, and he searched her gaze for a split second before he cleared his expression. An uncertain lead weight dropped low in her stomach.

She led him into the kitchen where she’d already set out two plates and a wine glass for him. “How was your trip?” She handed him a plate and then went to fill his glass.

“Good.” He opened the box and placed two pieces of pizza on both their plates, giving her the small container of ranch dressing for her to dip her pizza into.

She smiled at him. Just another one of those little things that showed how much he cared for her. He always took note of her little preferences. It made her feel cherished, loved.

He fiddled with the string of cheese hanging off his piece of pizza. “The timing wasn’t the best with everything going on in the squadron, but it was good to get away for a few days and clear my head of the chaos the last few weeks have created.
