Braxton couldn’t stop staring at Londyn. And he couldn’t stop his thoughts from wondering “what if.” She hadn’t said a word since she’d made the statement and did her best not to look at him. He had been enjoying their camaraderie and didn’t want it to end with her being uncomfortable. Placing his fork on his plate, he rounded the table and hunkered down next to her. “Look at me, Londyn.”
Her head slowly came up. “I don’t want you to think I’m trying to suggest anything because—”
He silenced her with a kiss. “The thought never crossed my mind.” Somehow, when she’d said it, the words didn’t hit him the way they had with Taryn, who only took, but never gave. Londyn had given him more in three weeks than all of the women in his past combined. “I tell you what, if things don’t work out with us, I’ll still cook for you every now and again if you promise more of those brownies and that ice cream.”
Londyn gave him the smile he’d come to look for and said, “It’s a deal.”
“Can we go back to having fun now? I thought we were having a good time.”
She caressed his cheek, then leaned down and touched her mouth to his. “We were having the best time.”
The feel of her soft lips on his almost made his control slip and he thought it best that he return to his side of the table and grabbed his drink. Instead of a sip, he gulped down a good portion of it, hoping it would cool his arousal.
She picked up her glass. “By the way, this is really good. The deep purple is my favorite color.” She took a sip and resumed eating. Minutes passed before she spoke again. “Okay, I need you to tell me what you did to this steak.”
“Seasoned it and threw it on the grill.”
Londyn narrowed her eyes. “So that’s how you want to play it, huh? Well, me and my warm peach cobbler and delicious ice cream can just go home.”
The sparkle was back in her eyes and her playfulness had returned. “That’s playing dirty, doc.”
“No dirtier than you, Mr. Harper.”
Braxton held up his hands in surrender. “You win. There’s no way I’m letting you leave without sampling your dessert.” She smothered a giggle and he realized what he’d said. “Your peach cobbler and ice cream,” he clarified. Though sampling her was never far from his mind. And every time he thought about what happened earlier, it made him hard. He was damn near forty and believed he had good control of his sexual urges, but Londyn proved him wrong each and every time they were together. She might be physically ready, but those fleeting moments of uncertainty he saw in her eyes told him, emotionally, she hadn’t quite gotten there. At some point, he knew the attraction building between them would reach a boiling point. He only hoped when it did, they’d both be on the same page. He glanced up to find her staring at him expectantly.
