Kadie played her response off as a compliment, but Liam had caught the quick frown when she’d heard Chef’s comment. And why didn’t he tell her? It was a damn good question. Why had he kept the information from her? Was he afraid she’d think he was some kind of a jerk, gobbling up all the local business? Yeah, he was afraid of that exact thing, but that wasn’t what he was trying to do. It wasn’t personal. It was just business.

They’d removed their shoes and Liam had rolled up his pants legs, and they strolled along the shoreline, with his hand resting on her lower back, just out of the gently rolling waves grasp.

“I didn’t bring up the desserts, because we weren’t talking about business tonight,” he said at last.

Although now was the perfect opening for him to bring up Kadie coming to work for him. After the night they’d had, he wasn’t sure it was a good idea. He’d had his doubts from the beginning. Not about Kadie’s baking skills, he’d seen those in action. They’d had a great time together and he liked her. But working together, with him as her boss? It would change things. It always did.

They walked hand in hand, not saying anything as a warm breeze blew and the waves grew closer. When they’d reached the grove of beach roses Kadie dropped her shoes and sank into the sand not seeming to worry about her dress.

“Sit, Doughboy, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.” She side-eyed him and he braced himself for her wraith. “I get you didn’t want tonight to be about business, but baking is a part of us. If we’re going to be friends, we should be able to talk about anything.”

He needed to work on his issues, because yeah, she totally called him out.

“You’re right. I should have told you and I’m sorry.”

“Unless you think the only reason I’m here tonight is to try to steal your secrets.” She laughed lightening up the mood. “Which, I’m not.”

“It’s good to know. The thought hadn’t actually crossed my mind. . .until now.” He teased as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, lingering a second too long, not wanting to break that physical connection. “I’m sorry. Think you can give me a second chance?”

Her smile was as beautiful as the summer sunset playing out before them. The sky was filled with smoky swaths of purple, bright streaks of red and orange, and slips of yellow-gold. About a quarter of the sun could still be seen on the horizon making it a perfect moment to kiss her. Instead, he sat back and waited for Kadie to forgive him.

“I shouldn’t say yes. One of my issues to work on is being too nice. But, yes. You get one more chance on one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“You stop making me wait for dessert and pick yours.”

He laughed. “I thought you wanted both?”

“I do, but didn’t want to be greedy. How about we share?” She held out a spoonful of the tres leches and Liam swallowed.
