helped him choose this house, and in her mind she’d seen it as a starter home for a family.
Their family.
Three small bedrooms, a respectably sized kitchen and breakfast nook, and the open great room, large enough for a group of ten or more to gather together.
She’d pictured dinners with her family visiting, maybe another dog or two...and kids.
Turning her at the island that separated the kitchen from the great room, Noel caught her hips and put his forehead to hers.
She waited for his kiss, but instead he said, “I still smell like smoke. Want to join me in another shower?”
Yes. But she hesitated. Once they got in the shower, she’d give up her promise to her dad and nothing would get settled. So instead she pushed him back a few inches and said, “Let’s talk first and shower after.”
His gaze narrowed, then he stepped back, putting some space between them.
It wasn’t only physical, Amber knew. She felt the emotional chasm as well and she didn’t like it. “Don’t look so glum, Noel. I’m not going to propose.”
His eyes narrowed more. “I’m not glum.”
“Baloney. You’re braced like you think I plan to attack.”
He shrugged. “I know your moods, Amber. You’re definitely in attack mode. Given the day we’ve had and how your family came after me, I expect to be jumped any minute now.”
Not liking that distance between them, she again caught the front waistband of his shorts and drew him back to her. She loved being held against his hard body, the heat of him, the smell of his skin. “I thought you liked it when I jumped you.”
“Yeah,” he said, his voice going husky with suggestion. “How about you get naked first, though?”
