Chapter Fourteen
The smell of freshly brewed coffee awakened Jennifer. The moment of realization that she wasnât in her own bed should have given rise to panic followed by shame that sheâd thrown herself at a man sheâd known for a couple of weeks. No panic, no shame. Just the pleasant tingles of awareness that she was in bed. Finnâs bed. She yawned and stretched. And if the smell was any indication, he made good coffee.
She threw off the covers. A navy terry cloth robe lay at the foot of the bed. She drew it over her shoulders. Obviously Finnâs, she rolled up the sleeves and belted it. The hem skimmed the floor. Nothing she could do about that but be careful not to trip over it.
She followed her nose to the kitchen, pausing in the entry. Finn stood at the stovetop, turning over scrambled eggs. Buttered toast graced the two plates on the counter. The mugs on the table steamed with the fragrant coffee. Finn turned the eggs out onto the plates, put the frying pan on another burner and turned off the stove.
The food looked good, but Finn looked better. Low-slung sweats rode his hips and he had on a fitted t-shirt that showed off his chest and arms. Strong arms that held her, thrilled her, made her feel safe.
Turning to take the plates to the table, he stopped when he saw her standing in the door. He put the plates down and approached. âMorning.â He gave her a sound kiss on the mouth. âThat looks better on you. Iâm glad I didnât have to wake you.
âIâd have helped.â
He ushered her to the table. âNo way. You looked so comfortable, I couldnât wake you.â He paused as if uncertain. âHell, I like seeing you there.â
She felt the flush on her cheeks and said, âI like being there.â
Heat flared in his eyes. He took a step. Stopped. âIf I didnât know we were both starving, Iâd pick you up and take you back to our bed.â
âWhy bother with the bed?â she challenged. It was as if Finn had freed her from her fear of intimacy. She felt strong, powerful. She knew how she affected him. And what he did to her.
He drew in a huge breath and expelled it. Taking his seat, he said, âYouâre killing me, but Iâll remember what you said. Letâs eat.â
She smiled and sampled the coffee. Ambrosia, she should have called it. âI am hungry. This is quite a meal. Do you like to cook?â
âI do all right. I have my specialties.â
âLet me guess...barbequed ribs and grilled steaks.â
âI wouldnât have taken you for a stereotyper.â He failed to hide his grin. âI make a killer lasagna followed closely by a Caesar salad with my award-winning secret ingredient.â
âWell, Iâll be the judge of that.â
âHow about tonight?â He raised a forkful of eggs, but paused in mid-air, waiting.
âI have a meeting with the Kids Council,â she hedged. She wanted nothing more than to come back, but maybe she was moving too fast.
