FOURTEEN

"This would have been so much simpler if we'd eaten at your place," Lauren protested, carrying her share of the plastic containers he'd taken from his fridge.

It had crossed his mind. Heck, he'd been parked in front of his building and was half way around the hood of his car before it had hit him like a brick. What if Gil was there?

God, could you imagine? He wasn't sure what Lauren would do if she 'saw' Gil. And after the breakthrough she'd made today, he didn't want her to take a step back. Then he'd remembered Gil saying he couldn't get into Lauren's house.

So it had taken some major backpedalling and lying about the state of his apartment to get her to stay in the car while he ran up and fetched the food. He'd held his breath as he'd opened the door, expecting Gil to be there. But Gil hadn't been there. Guilt had come in a close second right behind relief.

Passing him another few bags so she could open her door, Lauren slid her key into the lock. Matt followed her in, closing the door behind him. Soon eight blue-lidded containers lined the counter top. Matt began reheating them one at a time in the microwave while Lauren set the table.

"Are those perogies I smell?"

"And cabbage rolls."

"My favorite," she said, bending deeply at the waist to reach the pop on the bottom shelf of her fridge.

Food was forgotten as a perfectly rounded ass clad in faded jeans tempted him like nothing else could. Unable to resist, he walked over and took the cold cans of pop from her hands. Shutting the door of the fridge with his hip, he set the cans on the counter then drew her into his arms and kissed her. Taking his time, he drew out the pleasure of her mouth on his. He savored the little moan at the back of her throat and the feel of her hands clutching his shirt. Only when his brain reminded him he needed to breathe did he pull back.

"Wow. What was that for?"

She wasn't ready to hear the words he longed to say, so instead he answered, "For looking good in a pair of jeans." The cutest blush crept up her cheeks. "Did I embarrass you?"

Swatting him lightly on the arm she said, "You know you did, now move. I need to eat and get to work."

He let her go, but chuckled as he continued to warm up the leftovers. She didn't have a large table and before long there were more containers than she had room for.

"Can I get rid of these?" he asked, grabbing the pile of newspapers and flyers that had been shoved to one edge of the table.

"Just put them in my recycling bin."

She had a series of stacked blue boxes in the corner but before he could get to them, the slippery glossies slid from between the newspaper and slapped against the floor.

"I've got it," he said when she turned to help.
