CHAPTER 24

Harper

“Are you sure you don’t want to try this? I’m telling you, it’s better than any pizza in the world,” Riley instigates across the table at the ice cream parlor we stopped at on our way to the grocery store.

“That comparison is supposed to sell it to me? No thanks. I still can’t believe they keep Captain Crunch in stock just for you.”

“Because I’m a genius. It tastes like an ice cream cone when you mix it in with the ice cream. I bet it’s their bestseller. They should probably just comp me every time I come in.”

Shaking my head, I focus on my boring chocolate cone to avoid watching what his tongue is doing and the goosebumps it’s giving me. It’s blistering outside, almost August. I shouldn’t have goosebumps.

“Why don’t you just eat a cone then?”

“It’s not the same. This tastes like a cone but better. It’s like cone two-point-oh. Come on. Try it.”

Before I can protest, the cold wet tip of his double-scoop cone connects with my cheek. “Did I miss your mouth?” he asks innocently.

“You did that on purpose,” I crack up, reaching for the napkins.

“I’m so sorry,” he laments in his signature deadpan, but then another wet kiss of ice cream grazes my earlobe.

“Riley! Come on!”

“What’s the matter? Did I miss again?” he asks, running his fingers from my ear to my cheek, smearing the mess.

Grabbing his wrist, I hold him at bay and bop his nose with my own cone, unable to stop my laughter. He gasps and stretches that tongue of his up to the tip of his nose, eyes crinkled at the corner with laughter.

“Huh. And I was just going to say, I didn’t think you could get any sweeter, but I take it back.”

What is he saying? Does he know how much that sounds like flirting? He’s been acting strange the last two weeks. Sitting closer to me on the couch, giving me friendly little rubs between my shoulders, asking my likes and dislikes—I swear I’m not imagining the extra attention. Plus, not only have audiobooks become our nightly ritual, he’s…been asking questions. Last night’s was the most uncomfortable.

“So…prostate stimulation? That’s…that’s really a thing? Like…what does it feel like?”

Trying to describe a prostate orgasm to your straight boss-slash-patient should not be among anyone’s job experiences. Going to bed, stabbing your mattress with an erection after listening to racy books with your boss-slash-patient shouldn’t be either.

Now I’m sweet and getting ice cream kisses. He’s blowing the few courtships I’ve had out of the water, and he’s not even courting me. He can’t be. It’s just got to be his curious brain, lack of filter, and…I don’t know, but I’m not going to make it three more months if this keeps up. At least this rollercoaster of foolish attraction is better than what I’d been dwelling on.
