though his brow was pinched.
“ I mean, dinner was great, but everyone knows that dessert is the best part.” I smiled shyly at him. I wasn’t used to this; I’d never done this any of this before. Dating and flirting, it was all new to me.
“ Anything in particular you have mind?” Will asked, giving me a boyish grin that practically screamed sex.
I turned away from him, fighting my blush, and moved to open the freezer. “I have ice cream,” I said, retrieving a pint of chocolate peanut butter.

I rolled over, the bright morning light shining in through the window forcing my eyes open. Feeling Will’s hard body lying beside me, I smiled happily and draped an arm across his stomach.
We had come to bed around four in the morning, full of ice cream and exhausted to the point where we hadn’t had to worry about keeping our hands off each other. Still, as I continued watching him sleep, my smile grew and grew, a welcome feeling of happiness settling into the pit of my stomach. I barely knew him, yet I felt like I knew him more than most.
“ Nothing better than waking up to a beautiful woman staring at me,” Will murmured. “Am I still dreaming?”
“ Way too corny.” I laughed.
Stretching and yawning, he pushed himself upright in bed and slung an arm over my back.
“ You’ll have to forgive me,” he said, grinning, “I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired after spending the night with a woman that I haven’t slept with.”
When I didn’t answer, he looked down to find me staring up at him, my mouth slightly agape. I knew he’d meant it as a joke, but the thought of how many women he must have slept with left a bad taste in my mouth.
“ I’m sorry,” he said, wincing, “That was a shitty thing to say.”
“ It’s okay,” I said shyly. “We’re both exhausted. And I have to work in an hour.”
“ Can I take you?” he asked.
I smiled. “I’d like that.”

Standing just around the corner from Mila’s work, her back pressed up against the brick wall of her restaurant and her arms wrapped around his neck, his hands gripping her hips, Will bent his head down for yet another kiss.
“ I’m going to be late,” she murmured against his mouth, just before deepening the kiss.
Internally he was grinning; she was every bit as into him as he was her, and neither of them could seem to get enough of the other. It was a new feeling for him, and quite a different one—being attracted to a woman for more than just her physical attributes. And after last night, an entire evening spent kissing and talking far into the early hours of the morning and then simply holding her while they slept, he knew he was in trouble. But he couldn’t think of a better woman to be in trouble with.
She was everything he’d ever wanted: down to earth, easygoing, honest, and naturally beautiful. She was perfect in every way, the sort of woman he’d never thought he’d find—and in his own city, no less.
Feeling his cell phone begin to vibrate in his pocket, Will doubled the intensity of their kiss, his hands traveling up her to her waist and then higher, his thumbs brushing the undersides of her breasts.
“ Your pants…are…vibrating,” she said, breathless from their kisses.
“ I’m just really happy to see you,” he muttered, attempting another kiss.
Giggling, she turned her head and he quickly changed directions, dipping his own and dragging the tip of his tongue along the hollow of her neck instead. An answering shiver from Mila spurred him on, and he crushed her to him as he softly sucked the silky skin covering her collarbone.
The phone vibrated again and her giggles turned to laughter, and he couldn’t help but grin. Pulling away from her, he brushed a lock of her wavy hair that had fallen from her bun back behind her ear. “Go,” he said, shaking his head, “before we end up giving those city workers a real show.”
