licking his lips. “You taste like peaches. I like it.”
He kissed her again, anticipating that she might pull away from him, but she didn’t, and, in that moment, nothing could’ve made him happier.
“Ready?” he said when the waitress returned with his credit card and receipt.
“Sure.”
“When we get back, I’m taking your bag straight to my place.”
Ava nodded. “I don’t have much with me.”

She raised her eyebrow.

“Yeah,” Ava laughed. “I sure can.” She looked over at Aine, who wasn’t laughing.
“Can you give us a minute, Pen?”
“Of course,” she said, closing the bedroom door behind her.
