Yes, but we all know he discards his models like other men discard their underwear. Dale’s voice again.
“Voila.”
I didn’t hear Blake come back.
In front of me waft the delicious smell of dinner.
I cut a piece of steak and am instantly transported to another time. My grandmother had made the best steaks I ever tasted.
“Not too rare?”
I can hear the concern in his voice.
“It’s perfect.”
And it is. The meat is still a little pink but ever so tender.
There is only one way I know how to push my doubts to one side.
“I know you can cook from the first time you invited me over for dinner, but I didn’t know you are this good.”
Blake winks at me.
“I still have many talents you are yet to discover, babe.”
The lump in my throat grows a little.
“Really,” I try to sound light-hearted. I must not let Dale’s comments get to me. I must enjoy this time with Blake.
“You’ll find out. All in good time.”
I relax a little.
I notice the way he is suddenly looking at me as I take a sip of my wine.
“Do I have food on my face?”
He shakes his head.
“I can’t help but you stare at you. You are just so perfect.” He shakes his head. “The way you pick up your glass and wrinkle your nose ever so slightly as you take a sip is so unique about you. There are so many little quirks you have…I wish I could capture them all.” He sighs and smiles at me.
My heart is beating a little faster. Does he mean what he is saying? Does he see more in me than simply someone to have sex with?
I know I do. I know Blake completes me. But can I trust him? I trusted Dale and look where that took me.
“Did I say something?” Blake leans toward me.
I smile. Jump and float.
“I’m fine, more than fine. I’m happy.”
My lips part as they meet his. Instantly, fireworks rip through me. His tongue finds mine and I know what’s for dessert.
Chapter 25
Katherine
“What are we doing, Blake…?” I ask him, the words bubbling up to my lips and escaping them before I can stop myself. I look into his eyes as he pulls back from my kiss, and I feel my heart melt as he opens into a smile.
