“It’s only a problem if I’m wrong and I’m not, am I?” She swallowed, hard and dramatic, doing her damnedest to look unaffected.
“It’s not a secret I find you attractive or that the chemistry between us is, off the charts.”
“I think it breaks the charts, but that’s just me.”
“You might be right,” she said with a conspiratorial smile, leaning in and reaching for her glass. Brenna took a long, torturous sip. “You might even be right about hangin’ on to my panties.”
“I knew it!”
“If I had any on.” Her triumphant grin told me she’d been hanging on to that little nugget for a moment it would have the most impact.
“Dammit, Brenna.”
She laughed. “Is it gonna be hard, standing up to leave now that dinner’s over?” She couldn’t hide the laughter in her voice.
I couldn’t let her win so easily. “I hear this place does magical things with chocolate cake. I heard it’s got chocolate and fudge and chocolate mousse between the layers of moist dark chocolate cake.”
She groaned and licked her lips. “You win this round, Grant.”
“I had no doubt I would.”
“Just remember how much I love chocolate cake.”
When the cake arrived, she tortured me with erotic moans for a full twenty minutes, at least twice as long as it should have taken for the small slice of cake she’d been served.
It was worth every damn minute of torture because when we got to her door, I was ready to show her just how much her sexy sounds had gotten to me. “I had a great time tonight, Brenna.”
“So did I.” She licked her lips and took a step closer. “I really enjoyed dessert too. It’s too bad you didn’t want any.”
“Didn’t I?” It had been hard enough just watching Brenna devour that chocolate cake, there was no way I could enjoy it without smearing that frosting all over her body and licking it off. “I was hoping that I’d get my dessert a little later.”
“Yeah?”
I nodded. “Yep.”
She let out a sharp, throaty laugh and turned away from me. “Come on in and I’ll see what I can rustle up for ya.” Brenna turned with a gleam in her eyes and took a step backwards, into her place.
I stepped inside so we were chest to chest and my presence in her space forced her to take another step back so her back was against the wall. “Everything I need is right here,” I told her a moment before my mouth crashed down on hers, devouring her in the same way she’d devoured the cake she still tasted of. I took my time, kissing her until she shook and trembled in my arms, and then I worked my way down.
Devouring every inch of her body until she begged for her pleasure, which I happily gave her.
Twice.
Brenna
“I got butter, brown and white sugar, flour, sprinkles and three types of chocolate chips. What else do I need?”
“That depends on what you’re making,” Mara said with her usual attitude along with a heaping dose of annoyance.
“I don’t know yet, but I figured it was better to have all the basics and then we can decide on specifics.” I sighed in the baked goods aisle and shrugged even though I was on the phone. “How should I know? When I make cookies they’re the slice and bake variety.”
Shannon sighed. “Why am I even on this call? I don’t bake, I manage and plan.”
“Because we’re friends and I need to make sure Mariana’s bake sale experience is a good one. What advice do you have to offer?”
I could identify Mara’s sigh by the weight of it and I braced myself for a smartass remark. “Just read the instructions all the way through before you start. Some recipes require room temperature butter and others need it very cold.”
“Okay, thanks. That’s helpful, Mara. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. And don’t screw it up because Xander supports every damn fundraiser in town so I don’t want to eat burnt or undercooked cookies with too much baking soda. Text if you have questions. I gotta go.”
“Stop worrying,” Shannon encouraged. “This is Grant for crying out loud. You know him and you want him, this should be fun, maybe even a little sexy.”
“You’re right,” I sighed and grabbed a few more bags of sugar before getting in line. “Thank you, Shannon. And I’m sorry I’m such a mess about this. It’s been a while since I’ve attempted anything like this.”
“I get it. Good luck and have fun.”
“Yeah, thanks.” I ended the call and paid for my items before making the drive out of town to Grant’s lake house. By the time I arrived, my nerves had settled some and I was ready to do as Shannon had advised, have fun. “The cookie fairy has arrived.”
Grant flashed a wide smile that I felt all the way down to my bones. “Cookie fairy? That sounds promising.”
