Chapter Twenty-Five

Hours later, Aislinn stretched out her legs in the grass of a park and leaned against a tree, enjoying the sunshine that fell across her face. A giggle snorted out unattractively through her nose, and she slapped a hand over her mouth and slanted a look at Baird.

He raised an eyebrow at her, his face set in a scowl.

She hadn't meant to tip the canoe.

The black swans had shocked and excited her. In her rush to get a better look at them…she may have leaned too far from the boat.

Another snort slipped from her and she heard Baird grumble next to her.

"Pizza?"

Aislinn smiled sweetly at Baird and handed him a slice from the takeout box she had grabbed from the pizza joint across from the park.

Baird took the slice silently and Aislinn handed him a napkin with it.

"Probably a far cry from what you had planned for lunch, huh?" Aislinn said easily as she bit into her slice. The heavenly taste of pepperoni and cheese filled her mouth and she groaned around the pizza, losing herself in the taste.

She really needed to eat pizza more often, Aislinn decided.

Baird sniffed and took another bite. "I'd only planned lunch at one of the best restaurants here. Wine, steak, linen tablecloths…"

Aislinn shrugged and bumped his shoulder with hers.

"This is nice." She gestured to the park with her slice of pizza.

"I suppose it is," Baird admitted. "Good pizza."

"It is at that. I try to get to this place once in a while. It's worth a trip."

"I can't believe you flipped the canoe," Baird said indignantly.

Aislinn snorted again and then let the laughs roll from her gut. Bending over, she slapped her sodden jeans and then looked over at Baird. His clothes were a mess, wrinkled, stained, and his hair was all mussed up.

He'd thought to grab his glasses as they tipped. He had good instincts, Aislinn thought. She liked seeing him like this. Mussed, out of his element.

Like a real person.

"I really didn't mean to tip it. You'd think that I'd know better, having been raised on the water. I can get a little exciteable at times," Aislinn admitted.

"I see that," Baird said stiffly and Aislinn laughed at him.

"I like you like this," Aislinn admitted.

"Oh yeah? Then I think you owe me," Baird said. He reached out and snatched Aislinn under the arms and pulled her until she sprawled across his body. Her slice of pizza went flying and Aislinn glared at him.

"Hey! My pizza."

"I'll buy you another slice," Baird said and pulled her tight against him, crushing her lips in a searing kiss. Instant heat shot through her and Aislinn forgot about the pizza, about their wet clothes, and lost herself in the kiss. Baird kissed like he did everything else, with complete concentration on the task at hand, and with a dedication to ensuring their pleasure.

She gasped against his mouth, craving more, wanting all of him.

Baird eased back and held her there, his eyes boring into hers.

"See? I can be impulsive." Baird's lips twitched in a smile and Aislinn's heart cracked open…just a bit more.
