Fuck. Marsha is a bombshell. When she walked into Bella Italia and I saw she was wearing another dress that hugged her curves the way I ache to, my cock instantly tightened. Everything about Marsha makes me want more, and I knew I had to break my rule about being with a woman.

“Do you two know what you’d like to order?” A server silently appears next to our table.

Marsha looks up in surprise. “What do you recommend? Everything looks so good.” She folds her menu, an openness in her eyes that reminds me it’s been a long time since I’ve done anything that wasn’t planned.

“The chicken piccata is popular, though if you ask me, I love the lasagna. We make the noodles here, but even the staff don’t know exactly what goes into the tomato sauce to make it taste like it does.”

“That settles it.” Marsha chuckles, reaching up to push her wavy brown hair back. “I’ll have the lasagna.”

“And you, sir?” the server turns to me.

“I’ll try the lasagna, too.”

“Good choice. Would you like some wine with that?”

Usually, I’m a beer drinker, but when I see Marsha smile like that’s her preference, I nod. “I don’t know a lot about wine, so whatever you recommend.”

“A chianti?” the server offers.

“That would be perfect,” Marsha says, smiling as the server nods and leaves our table.

“I’m really a pizza and beer kind of guy,” I admit, suddenly uncertain. “I’m a creature of habit, I guess you could say.”

“Is that something you picked up in the military?” Marsha puts her arms on the table and leans toward me, and the light of the flickering candles softly illuminates her face. Her blue eyes sparkle as she looks at me, and I know I’m a goner.

“It is. There’s something comforting about knowing what you’re supposed to do and how you’re supposed to do it. I like predictable routines.” Other people tease me about how I rely on routine and rules, but admitting this to Marsha feels comfortable, like she’s not going to criticize me for it.

Marsha’s warm laugh puts me at ease. “Somehow, that’s not surprising. I bet it makes Tessa wanting to be a writer much more challenging.”

I sigh and nod. “I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re right. I don’t understand creativity. There are too many variables for that kind of career.”

“I know it can seem scary, but believe me when I say Tessa is talented. I’m not lying about that. However,” she says, holding up her hand when she realizes I’m about to interrupt, “your concerns are valid. Being a fiction writer is a hard job, and if she wanted to self-publish, there’s a lot more work than just writing. That’s why I wanted you both to come to the open house.”

“That was eye-opening,” I say, remembering the different kinds of writing and how much the salary was for some of them.

“As I hoped it would be. Writing doesn’t have to be a one-track career. I’d recommend that Tessa study different kinds of writing and see which one she likes best.
