Chapter Fourteen

Colin wasn’t entirely sure what was happening between him and Peaches, but he was willing to let things go wherever they went. Sitting with her in the darkened kitchen—staring at the warm gold of her hair, the rose of her cheeks, the delectable curves of her body—had shown him his own body was a lot closer to full recovery than he’d realized. Touching her, even accidentally, had sent something like an electric current flowing through him.

Now his brain was supplying a series of erotic images—all golden and rosy with a curving body like something out of Botticelli.

She’s your guardian angel. She saved you from that damned shed where you might have died. She hasn’t asked you for anything. And you’re going to pay her back by having sex with her?

The voice of his conscience helped dampen his desire a little, but he still felt the slow throb of his body, reminding him he hadn’t been with a woman for a very long time. His conscience was kicking him hard, but his body got a vote, too.

Is that all she is? A target of opportunity? A chance to get your rocks off?

He didn’t think so, but the possibility did make him uneasy. He liked Peaches above and beyond being attracted to her. He didn’t want to do anything that would make it tough for them to be friends.

Of course, walking out on her now could be the wrong thing to do, too, and could also blow their friendship sky high. Particularly if she thought he was pulling back because he wasn’t interested in her. His body gave another throb. If she took a good look at him, she’d know he was interested in her. Very interested.

He dropped onto the couch, placing the wine bottle and glasses on the low table in front of him. Maybe it was time to calm the hell down. They were just having a glass of wine, after all. That didn’t necessarily mean they were headed to the bedroom.

But he wouldn’t exactly mind if they did.

Peaches walked into the room, drying her hands on a towel. “Thanks again for dinner. It was nice to come home to food I didn’t fix myself.”

“I was glad to do it. Maybe I can get you some of our beer. Probably more of a treat than my cooking.”

She sat beside him on the couch, carefully leaving a few inches of space between them. “What are you working on now?”

“Different things. An IPA. Some honey wheat beer I’ll start when I get back to brewing again.” That may be my salvation.

“I’ve never heard of honey beer. It sounds interesting.”

“I think it will be. I need to ask you about sources for honey, though. I mean, I’m guessing you use honey in baking.”

She nodded slowly. “I do. Sometimes. Honey has a really strong flavor—it can sort of take over anything you bake. But some things, like honey cakes and bars, are great. And, of course, there’s baklava and Greek pastries. Those are really delicious.
