TWENTY-TWO

Brookes woke up in his own bed the next morning. His head was slightly heavy, but it wasn’t from the wine but the memory of what had transpired. He tried to recall the events that had led to the lovemaking in the bar, but that didn’t really matter. He’d wanted Harper since she arrived back, whether or not he had admitted it to himself, and it was better than he had envisioned it.

He checked his clock. He should have been at the inn working now. There was still so much that needed to be done and only a week to go before the Christmas in July dinner.

Harper’s scent remained on him. He didn’t want to shower; he didn’t want to lose that delicious vanilla and berry smell, but he wasn’t going to turn up to work dirty either. She’d given him a sense of hope that maybe not all was lost between them. Or was it just sex to her and nothing else? No, he didn’t believe that. The passion was there. It was even better than he’d remembered. She’d wanted it as much as he had last night. Their chemistry was undeniable.

He heard Rover bark, and it got him out of bed without his usual five-minute snooze. Rover stood by the bedroom door and, as Brookes passed, he ruffled the dog’s coat. ‘Let’s go for a run.’

He brushed his teeth and dressed before heading outside. The crisp air was refreshing of a morning and the run gave him a half hour to clear his head whilst Rover happily burned off energy, chasing anything that moved. By the time they got back, Rover was worn-out and Brookes really needed a shower. Even in the cold, he sweated like crazy after a workout. Ten minutes later, dressed and ready to tackle the day, he grabbed a banana and addressed Rover. ‘You hungry, boy?’

Rover barked and followed him into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, Brookes grabbed a slab of meat on a plate, took off the cover, chopped it up, and placed into the dog’s food bowl. Rover sat by his side until Brookes motioned for him to eat.

Thoughts of Harper returned as he washed up. He wanted to talk to her, and he hoped after last night there would be no awkwardness between them.
