You’re kidding?

Me

Do you really think I’d kid about something like that?

Addison

Ha! No …

Me

I’ll text you when I arrive.

Addison

You’d really come all the way here from Malibu just for a kiss?

Me

I’d go anywhere to be able to kiss you.

Me

I’m here.

Addison

Head around to the back of the building to the teachers’ parking lot. We have less of a chance of being seen there. I’ll be waiting outside.

“Hi,” Addison said as she climbed into my front seat. Her skin was already flushed, her teeth taking hold of her bottom lip and not letting it go.

Strands of her auburn hair hung close to the sides of her face, several of the curls threatening the corners of her eyes and lips. Her neckline was open, a gold necklace hanging in the center with an A charm. A jean jacket covered her arms, and the rest of her body was hidden beneath a dress that didn’t hug her curves, but didn’t mask them either.

“You look so fucking gorgeous right now.” My eyes took their time rising to hers.

“Well, I’m kinda speechless over what you have on.”

“Work attire. That’s all it is.”

“If I worked with you and I got to look at that all day”—she shook her head, her teeth back on her lip—“I’d get nothing done.”

I chuckled. “You like the red?” I fingered the bottom of my tie.

“It’s your color. More so than the navy, which I originally thought was the best color on you and nothing could look better. Until I saw this.” She nodded toward my chest. “Red it is—and it’s hot as fuck.”

“When I put it on this morning, it reminded me of your hair.” I reached toward a chunk of her strands hanging over her shoulder and gently ran my fingers through them. “I guess I was missing you.”

She turned her face, giving an angle that was more of her profile. “What were you thinking about?”

“How I wished I had woken up next to you. Taken a shower with you. I wanted you in my closet, so I could watch you get dressed.” I clasped the back of her neck, her hair falling over the sleeve of my suit jacket. “I wanted to bring you your first cup of coffee and see you take a sip.”

“Your words are like porn.”

I laughed. “I’m verbally romantic, huh?”

“But here’s what I’ve learned about you: You’re not just talking to hear yourself speak. You mean every one of those words.”

I nodded. “I do.” I smiled. “And you thought you knew more about my daughter than me.”

“I’m getting more. Piece by piece.”

“I need you to tell me something …”

She took a deep breath. “Okay.”

“When I do this”—I leaned in until only about an inch separated us and aligned our mouths—“what does it mean to you.”

“The closeness … I’m assuming it’s because you want to smell me.”

I slid my hand to her cheek, holding her steady. “I did that the second you got into my car.”

“You want to feel me.”

“Go deeper, Addison.”

“Taste me.”

“And when I do this”—I ran my thumb across both lips—“what am I doing it for?”

“You’re memorizing me.
