“You moved my hand from your waist to your breast. I was working the steps, but you wanted to skip some.”
“Working the steps, like an AA meeting?”
He chuckled. “No. I like to savor. I didn’t want to miss anything, but you wanted fast-food sex.”
“Fast-food sex?”
“Are you just repeating what I say?” he asked. “You know, fast-food sex. Hot and fast and bad if it’s your steady diet. I love fast-food sex. Once we make it past our dating phase, we can have fast-food sex all you want as long as we have the gourmet stuff, too. Thinking of it now, actually.”
I shook my head to clear it. “That brings up a point. What does ‘date with no sex’ mean exactly?”
“Huh, that’s a good question. Clearly, dry humping is still on the table.”
“Ugh.” I hid in the covers as his laugh rumbled in his chest.
“Let’s figure it out as we go. And one more point. This is you and me. I’m not dating anyone else, and I don’t want you to, either.”
“Are you asking for exclusivity, Lucas?” I peeked out from under the soft comforter with a playful smirk.
“Yes, is that a problem?” His brow furrowed.
I looked into his eyes. “No, I prefer it that way.”
“Good. First goal for me, I’d like to be allowed to touch you anywhere I want. The curve of your hip and the indent of your ass where it meets your thigh, I would enjoy the hell out of touching you there. Last night, why didn’t you want me to touch you in some places?”
“Lucas, come on, you can guess why.”
His eyes softened. “My guess is because you have no idea how sexy you are.”
“Lucas.”
“It’s true, Jo, and I’ll prove it. Not sure how yet. I only had one night to think about it, but I’ll do it. Your sexiness and letting me see it is a win-win.”
“It’s always the win-win with you.”
“Not always, but I’m grabbing them when I can.”

LUCAS
As predicted,the road had cleared enough by early evening for Jo to go home. I asked her to stay, but she said if we were dating, then we didn’t start off spending the weekend together. I reluctantly agreed. Sleeping wrapped around her was the best sleep I’d had since the news of the investigation, and I was eager to do it again, with a little more of that touching.
We hadn’t talked much since Saturday other than a few flirty texts. She was at work early, and I was staying late at the farm. The annual Tulip Festival was a month away, and there was still a lot to do.
But today was Wednesday. I would finally get to see Jo again. And this time, I could touch her and kiss her if I wanted to. Anticipation buzzed in my veins.
Me:Hey Jo. What are we cooking today? Only a couple bags of groceries were delivered.
SexyAF: Grilling. The sun is out. Steak and grilled vegetables, and Greek chicken for later. I picked up the meat and veg in Sedro Woolley. Can’t beat local grass-fed beef.
Me:mmmm. I’m still at the farm. Need herbs?
SexyAF: Parsley, basil, thyme, oregano
Me:Done. Wear something pretty and plan to stay for dinner.
SexyAF: Is that a request or a command?
