Chapter Fifteen

Ivy

"For the last time, nothing has happened."

Kayla pouts at her from across the counter. They're standing at the register in the Full Cart, but there's nobody else in the store and Kayla has taken the opportunity to harass Ivy for details about her dates with Allie.

"I don't understand how that can possibly be true," the brunette sighs. "You two have been on what⁠—five dates?"

"Four," Ivy corrects automatically.

"Fine, four dates. And you’ve only kissed?" The disbelief is written all over Kayla's face as she stares at her friend. "Zero sense. You two have more chemistry than anything in our janky old high school's labs. I would have thought you two had jumped each other's bones by now."

"Nope. Nothing to report, and definitely no bone jumping." Not that it's for lack of wanting, on her part. With each passing date they've gone on, the sparks have flown higher and higher. It's a tension like she's never known before. In the past she's never been one to wait to go for what she wants. She's just never seen the point in denying herself something that she wants, and it's never taken her long to decide whether a date has any possibility or not.

But everything feels different with Allie. The CEO has captivated her from the beginning; that was never in question. But the slow simmer of their mutual wanting is its own type of delicious. She can't help but want to wait and follow the other woman's lead to see where this goes. She's got a sneaking suspicion that whenever something finally does happen between them, all of the waiting will make it positively explosive.

So far, they've gone from walking with their arms looped together to walking hand in hand, and the last time they stopped at Mabel's the CEO had slid into the same side of the booth as Ivy, leaving them pressed close together for what felt like the most torturous meal of the redhead's life. And the kissing⁠—god, the kissing. Toe-curling kisses that make her mind go hazy and every cell in her body scream for more. She’s never gotten so worked up from just kissing before, but she’s only a little embarrassed to admit that by the time they actually have sex it’s not going to take much given how constantly worked up she is these days.

She shakes her head to clear it of distracting thoughts about Allie. She definitely doesn't need to go getting all hot and bothered while she's in the middle of the grocery store.

"Okay, well, I didn't come here for you to groan about my sex life⁠—or lack thereof," she says. "I actually need some advice."

"Oh, I'll give you some advice," Kayla replies, wiggling her eyebrows. Ivy glares at her.

"Not that kind of advice. I want to do something nice to surprise Allie tonight, but I don't know what she would like best. You've known her way longer than me⁠—and recommendations?"

Kayla hums. "What are you considering? Because the easy answer is that she'll like just about anything so long as it's sincere.
