Well, fuck.
“Yes,” he said honestly. “For sure. And I want to…hang out at Ellie’s with you.” There, that was treading carefully, right? He wanted to see more of her, but he wasn’t going zero to sixty. They could start with that and work up to more. It was too soon to tell her that he was ready to travel the world with her.
“Oh.” She nodded. “Yeah. So, instead of sitting at two different tables at Ellie’s like we do now, we’d…sit at the same table.”
Fuck, that sounded so stupid when he wanted to whisk her off to Paris. Or have her whisk him off to Paris. Whichever. It didn’t matter. But he nodded. “Yeah.” He put his forehead against hers. “And we’d talk toeach other.”
She laughed at that and the tightness in his chest loosened slightly.
“Oh. I see. And we’dtalk, huh? Not argue and insult?” she asked, looking up at him with a grin.
“Well, let’s not get crazy. Our arguing and insulting is hot.”
She nodded. “It is. But we couldalsotalk. I guess.”
“Maybe even flirt.”
Her eyebrows went up. “Oooh, flirt. I think I like the sound of that.”
“I might even feel you up under the table.” He ran his hand up her thigh again, moving higher this time.
She shifted on his lap, and he realized she was giving him more room. He grinned at her.
“Actually,” he said. “Iwillfeel you up under the table.”
“That’s better,” she said, her voice a little softer.
He slid his hand up and traced the middle seam of her leggings with his index finger.
“Theo,” she breathed. “I want—”
“Cocoa?”
They both jerked and looked up.
Henry was standing there with a tray full of mugs.
“Oh, um…” Savannah stammered.
“Yes. Thank you, Henry.” Theo reached out with the hand not settled between Savannah’s legs. He kept that hand right where it was.
Savannah also reached for a mug.
“Do you have peppermint schnapps by chance?” Theo asked.
Henry motioned to the other man circling the room with a tray. “Scott has the add-ons.”
“Add-ons?” Savannah asked, but Henry had already moved on to the next group.
“He’s a man of few words,” Theo said with a chuckle.
“I guess.”
“What would you like?” Scott asked, showing them his tray. There was a can of whipped cream, a bowl of sprinkles, a bowl of mini marshmallows, a bowl of mini chocolate chips, several candy canes, and a bottle of peppermint schnapps, a bottle of caramel vodka, and a bottle of Bailey’s.
“Wow,” Theo said. “This is impressive.”
Scott just smiled.
