Megan took a long sip of her coffee, her green eyes blazing a hole right through me. She studied me carefully before she spoke. “That’s crap, and I really hope you know that Gus because you’re gorgeous. I mean, I’d kill to have the hourglass curves you have, and those boobs, my goodness they’re a work of art even if you do try to hide them at every opportunity. Your sexy waves and almond shaped green eyes make you look like a mermaid. You are beautiful, and I’m sure plenty of men in town think so.”
I blinked, shocked at her words. I mean, I don’t think I’m ugly, but I’m very realistic about what I look like, and it wasn’t what Megan described. “That’s what friends are supposed to say, but if you really mean it you can leave Casey and date me since I’m so gorgeous and all.”
Megan laughed and leaned over to take in the green dress that fell just past my knees. “You can totally be my side chick, because I love Casey too much to leave him.”
I sighed and fake pouted. “See, even you only want me as your dirty little secret.”
Megan laughed and shook her head. “I think your mirrors are broken honey, but we’ll talk more about that when we have tacos and tequila. What are you up to the rest of the day?”
“Good question. After eating two croissants and that lemon bar, I guess my first stop will be the gym. Then I’ll see if I can catch up with Dad.” I told her about what he did and the note. “Those waffle fries were to die for!”
Megan’s face lit up with a wide smile. “That’s great, Gus. I’m so happy to hear the move is working out for you both.”
“I wasn’t sure having him move here would work out, but he really is sober and doing well. I love spending time with him.”
“Awesome,” she popped the miniature lemon white chocolate bar in her mouth. “Now let’s talk about those waffle fries and getting you laid.”
“I can help on both counts,” a deep voice said, and I knew that voice well. It had starred in too many of my fantasies lately, not to mention guided me through dozens of new recipes.
My nipples beaded into tight little buds and my belly clenched. I swallowed hard before looking up at Antonio. Two words came to mind, yes, please.
Antonio
I shouldn’t have been eavesdropping. I knew that from the moment I heard Augusta’s honeyed voice, but I just couldn’t’ help myself.
The men in this town must be idiots to let this gorgeous woman with such a hot body spend her nights alone, and even worse, thinking that those curves weren’t appreciated. Six months? That was unreal. It was a goddamn travesty is what it was. Hearing that, or maybe it was the pragmatic way she said the words, forced the words from my mouth.
Megan laughed as I knew she would, because the pretty baker appreciated a good flirting session.
Augusta looked up at me with wide green eyes, darkened with a hint of lust. I watched her pulse flutter in her neck, took stock of her glazed over eyes and slightly open mouth. Yeah, she wanted me, even if she didn’t want to. “Seriously?”
I nodded. “Yeah. Six months is a long time, Augusta.”
“No kidding,” she agreed with a half amused grunt of laughter.
“No woman should have to go without an orgasm for so long.”
One reddish gold brow arched. “Who said I’ve been without an orgasm?”
Now that question instantly brought forth images of her splayed out naked on her back, legs spread wide as she pleasured herself. Did she watch porn? Did she use her attraction to me as inspiration?
“I’m much better than batteries,” I assured her and ignored the press of my cock to my zipper.
“Cockier, that’s for sure.”
I shrugged because Augusta wasn’t wrong, I was a cocky son of a bitch. “In more ways than one, sweetheart.” I winked and she gifted me with another of those eyerolls I couldn’t get enough of. Probably because I knew it was a defence mechanism.
“So you’re hung, you’ve got wicked staying power and you’re gorgeous? I wonder why the women in town aren’t banging down your door.” She tapped her chin like she was really giving it some thought as her gaze slid to my crotch and the growing bulge I was powerless to hide.
The fact that she was attracted me but didn’t seem to like me very much was a strange twist that I couldn’t resist. “Who said they aren’t?” They were, in droves truthfully. But I was already burned once by a woman who chose drugs over her family, and I wasn’t putting myself in that position again. No way. No how. No thanks.
“Right.” She drew the word out for several long seconds as her green eyes filled with heat once again. For a second I thought maybe she would take me up on my offer, but then the stubborn woman changed the subject. “I made your char Siu for my dad the other day. It was a big hit. Be cocky about that.”
