Chapter 14
Jess’s pan-fried burger had somehow tasted better than anything he’d eaten, all week.
The ingredients were the same as what he’d been offered a couple days already, but Jess gave that simple burger a taste that left his mouth watering for more.
Maybe it wasn’t the food. Perhaps he just needed another taste of her.
Jess smiled at him and handed him the last dish as they stood over the sink. He wiped it with the dish rag as she turned off the water and tugged off her yellow plastic gloves. “The dishes are done.”
He put the dish in the drying rack as Jess patted him on the shoulder. Her touch made his body tremble. “I’ll get the wine and dessert. Will you change the station for the music?”
Easy enough. His heart beat faster but he nodded at her and his lips ached to kiss her.
