“Your workshop is better than a hotel room?” I walk through the open roller door of ‘Murphy’s Carpentry’ and my butt cheeks prickle, imaging the splinters I could get from sitting on any surface in this place.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful workshop. Big rustic-looking workbenches and tools lined up perfectly along the wall. There are a few pieces of completed furniture set up for display, a sitting area where I imagine he takes lunch or chats with clients, (and possibly plans to fuck me) and he’s even made a beautiful cabinet to hold various samples of wood.

As far as workshops go, this is well organised and tidier than one would expect. However, when he said he had somewhere for us to go, I thought maybe he had a second house or could borrow a mate’s place or something. I wasn’t expecting to be on my hands and knees with the wood shavings. I’m going to smell like I’ve been rolling around in the scrub.

Leo sets the chisel he was working with to the side as he smiles my way. “There’s an apartment upstairs. Lunch too if you’re hungry.”

“Oh?” Now I’m all excited again. “Does anyone live there?”

“I did for a while after my split. I was still playing at the time, but I’ve always had this place for something to do in the off season. Sometimes it’s handy having a bed upstairs for somewhere to crash when I work late.”

“OK,” I say, taking a deep breath, because I'm nervous and think that maybe I’ve jumped too far too fast. I want to have sex with Leo. Badly. But now my hands are all clammy and I’m not even a little bit drunk, so I’m more nervous than I thought I’d be.

“Come here,” he says, eyes happy, mouth curved upward, strong hand held out to me. My heart flutters in my chest and my stomach twirls like a little girl in a dress. When I reach him, he gives my arm a gentle tug then wraps an arm around my waist, swaying gently from side to side. The motion puts me instantly at ease as I melt against him. How does a man I’ve known on and off for a month understand me better than the man I spent twenty years of my life with? The two men are very different people, and I’m glad. It’s the first time I really feel like I’m being romanced. Leo makes me feel like I’m worth the effort.

“Remember the first time we did this?” he asks, inhaling my scent as he nuzzles my neck.

“How could I forget? It was seriously the most romantic thing that’s ever happened to me.”

I feel his smile against my skin. “I wanted to kiss you so badly.”

“You should have. I wouldn’t have objected.”

Lifting his head, he meets my eyes and I feel like I’m falling into the murky green warmth they contain. “It wasn’t the right time.”

“Was the bathroom the right time?” I ask, smiling as I recall our crazy clash of teeth the day before.
