ground.
“Give me some time to think about it. I’m not telling you no, but I’m not saying yes either.” That was all she could give to Travis for the moment. Her stomach was growling and she was beyond ready to eat.
“I’ll take what I can get,” Travis said. He gave her a quick kiss on the mouth and then stepped back. “How about we go to lunch? I’m dying for a submarine sandwich with extra pickles from Big Boys .”
“I’m not quite sure what I want. I guess I’ll look at a menu when I get there.” Renee knew she wanted something that would tie her over until supper, so she wanted more than her usual salad she had for lunch.
“ Big Boys has anything and everything a person can want. Wait until you see their choices.” Travis linked their fingers together and walked with her towards the door. “Have I told you how good you look in that dress? It almost makes me want to stay here and start up what we put a hold on last night.”
Excitement raced through Renee’s body at Travis’ suggestion, but they both knew it couldn’t happen in the middle of the day inside of her gallery. There were way too many open windows and people going up and down the sidewalks. Getting any kind of privacy here would be near impossible.
“You know that we can’t do that,” Renee pointed out as she followed Travis outside. He stood to the side while she locked up.
“I know, but a guy can hope can’t he?” he whispered by the side of her neck as his fingers brushed underneath her breasts through her dress.
Swallowing down a moan, Renee took a quick step away from Travis and glanced around to make sure no one was looking at them. “You need to stop. What if someone had seen you?”
“So what?” Travis asked taking her hand again. “I don’t have a problem with people seeing me touch you. I think you’re beautiful, intelligent and sexy as hell. I would be crazy not to want to touch you.”
Renee felt a warm glow flow through her at Travis’ compliment. A part of her reveled in his open admiration of her and her looks. It made her feel special and wanted. She wasn’t used to that happening since Robert stopped months into their marriage. It was then she should have divorced him instead of trying to stay married to please everyone else but herself.
“Are you ready to have some of the best food in town?” Travis asked, smiling down at her.
“You better believe that I am. I can’t wait to see what they have to offer.”
Chapter Sixteen
“Travis, thank you so much for lunch. It was delicious.” Reaching across the table, she placed her hands on top of his, running her finger down the back. “I can’t believe I actually finished a double cheeseburger with a basket of onions rings. I’m going to have to run an extra two miles just to burn it off my thighs and butt.”
“I’ve a better idea at working all of those calories off your smoking body, if you’re interested,” Travis whispered as his eyes dropped down to her mouth then rose back up to her eyes.
“Why do you keep giving me all of these ideas we aren’t going to be able to act out? I need to get back to work and I’m pretty sure that you do too. I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”
“Feel free to ask me anything you want.” Turning her hand over, Travis linked their fingers together and then ran the pad of his thumb over the side.
Each time she was around Travis, the pull was stronger. The very air around her seemed electrified as his gaze raked boldly over her body. It was too easy to get lost in the way he looked at her.
“Can you tell me what is going on between us? I mean, it just seems like from the moment we met there was this undeniable—” Renee was so taken back by what was going on that she didn’t even know how to describe it herself.
“Baby, I know what you mean. I don’t know what words to put to it either, but I do know that I can’t stop feeling the need to be around you. I get the sense
