Nick
Freyaâs fingers brush mine as she takes her wine glass, and even that small touch excites me. The kiss weâd shared had been unlike any other, and I canât wait to touch her more.
But first, dinner.
âI have manicotti and fettuccine Alfredo,â I say. âDo you have a preference, or should we share?â
âLetâs share,â she says with a smile. âI love both, and I donât want to have to decide.â
I resist the urge to tell her that Iâm so smitten, Iâm entirely at her command. She looks so graceful, even sitting on the floor. I canât hold back any longer and I lean in to kiss her again.
âAt this rate, weâre never going to eat,â she says, smiling.
âOh, I plan to eat, Freya,â I say teasingly. âAlthough not necessarily dinner.â
She blushes adorably and looks down, a small smile on her lips.
âBut itâs probably a good idea to have dinner. Keep our strength up.â
âAre you always this forward?â she says shyly, her eyes locking on mine.
âAlmost never, but then again, I donât know that Iâve ever wanted anything as much as I want you.â
âYou donât have to do that, you know,â she says.
âDo what?â
Sheâs glancing away from me again. âI know what I look like, Nick.â
âThen you know exactly what Iâm talking about.â
âIâm not the physical ideal. I never have been.â
I take her hand and lift it to my lips, pressing a kiss to her knuckles. âFreya, look at me.â
Her eyes are full of doubt when she looks up again.
âI think youâre beautiful, and smart, and funny. I wasnât lying when I said that Iâve wanted you from the moment I first saw you. Iâm not sure where you got the idea that youâre not desirable. You are exactly what Iâve been looking for. And to find out that your personality is as gorgeous as your looks? I still canât quite believe it.â
She shakes her head, and I can tell she stubbornly holds on to the idea sheâs not attractive.
Iâll just have to show her until she believes me.
But for now, I switch the conversation to steadier ground.
âSo, you mentioned that you wanted to be a lawyer?â
She laughs, clearly relieved at the change in topic.
âI majored in pre-law and everything.â
âWhat made you change your mind?â
Freya sighs. âI always thought I wanted to be a lawyer to make things better, you know? To help right injustices. But the more I got into the field, the more I felt like a lot of what Iâd be doing was protecting the people in power from having to take responsibility for their actions. I know that there are areas of law where thatâs not true, but overall, I suppose I became disillusioned with the system at the age of twenty-one.â
âSo⦠yorkies?â
Her face lights up. âMy aunt was going to try breeding them, but she didnât really understand everything involved, and, when she did, she decided it wasnât for her. So she asked me if it was something Iâd be interested in. Turns out, I really was. As soon as the first litter of puppies came along, there wasnât anything else I wanted to do.
