I laugh, unable to control the flush on my face. “Stop it.”
“No, even covered in soil, you’re still a vision.”
“Gross.”
“Come on, Princess. That compost is an aphrodisiac, and you know it.”
I flick a bit of soil at him.

I spenda few hours with Beau, enjoying his presence.
I purposely stand too close to him a few times, our sides touching, and he smiles every time I do it.
The sexual tension between us is palpable, but I force myself to focus on the plants.
His eyes drop to my lips occasionally, and I find myself licking them unconsciously.
I want to taste him.
Dirt and all, I want him.
But as we’re walking back, the sun setting, he asks me a question that makes my heart flutter.
“Do you want to go to dinner with me? If you’re feeling up to it?”
There’s a hint of nervousness in his voice, as if he’s not sure I’ll say yes.
It’s adorable.
“Am I supposed to have dinner with my boss?”
He snorts. “I’m not your boss. None of us are. Well, maybe Grey, but only because he’s the boss of everyone.”
I keep walking, and spot Wilson watching us from the dining room window, tilting his head inquisitively.
“You don’t have to,” he adds quickly. “It was just an idea. There’s a local restaurant that uses our vegetables—”
“Beau. Of course, I’ll have dinner with you.”
I mean, why would I say no?
I want him.
Just like I want James and Grey.
And fuck it. With this new start, it’s time I take what I want.
Good things are allowed to happen to you. Grey’s words from last night replay in my mind.
“Great,” Beau says, as he opens the back door for me. “It’s a date.”
