Amelia

A couple hours and a takeout meal later, Amelia and Simone wound up back at the farmhouse.

They’d gotten a little frisky on the playground, resisting the urge to push too far past light, flirtatious kisses and sensual embraces. It may have been closed after dark, but it was still a playground. But Simone had barely taken her eyes away from Amelia since their date began, and the better she got to know Simone, the more Amelia wanted to rescind her no-dating policy.

There had to be a way to make it work, right? Other people had demanding careers and successful love lives. Amelia had rejected that for herself while she was busy climbing the ladder at the ME’s office, but it didn’t have to be that way forever, did it?

They went inside and Amelia led Simone to the kitchen. They had pasta from one of her favorite Italian places—Amelia had paid, as she’d insisted the other day in the firehouse—but they both had something other than food on their minds.

“Do you want a quick tour before we eat?” Amelia asked.

“I’d love that,” Simone said. She was standing very close to Amelia, and their bodies kept brushing against each other accidentally-on-purpose.

The house was decorated in a mix of Amelia’s own tastes and the furniture and décor that her parents had collected over a lifetime here. The result was cozy and a little cluttered, but warm. She felt comfortable here, but the house was much too large for one person.

“I keep thinking I should get a pet,” Amelia said as she led Simone through the living room. “There’s a big backyard that would be perfect for a dog.”

“Why don’t you get one?” Simone asked.

“I’m hardly ever home,” Amelia answered. “Plus, it’s the same reason I don’t date—there’s no time.”

“I bet you could find some time if you really wanted to,” Simone said with a wink. She was persistent when she set her sights on something she wanted, and it was one of the things Amelia admired about her.

“Come on, I’ll show you the upstairs,” Amelia said. Her cheeks were burning and her core had been aching ever since the playground. That had been like one long foreplay session, teasing each other, touching each other but just barely. It had been years since Amelia felt this strongly about anyone, and now that Simone was in her house, she was confident that neither of them actually cared about the takeout they’d bought—at least not right now.

Amelia took Simone’s hand in her own and led the way. Simone’s thumb brushed over the back of her hand while they walked, and that small gesture sent a delicious tingle all through Amelia’s body. She wanted more of it.

“Here’s my bedroom,” she said when they got to the first door in the upstairs hallway.

There were quite a few bedrooms here—more than her family of four had ever needed—and now three of them stood empty except for when Frannie and her husband came to visit.

Amelia had moved into the master suite when she took over the house, and she led Simone into it.
