Jelly Bellys?” Josh asked hopefully.
Seth laughed. “Maybe.”
Then the barn door opened.
With the sun pouring in, Tim couldn’t immediately see much, except a very memorable silhouette of a body in jeans and a T-shirt. A real woman’s body—lush breasts, curved hips, long legs. How had he ever mistaken her for a jailbait juvenile delinquent?
She stepped closer, eyes locked on their hands, and what they were eating. When it registered, she went still. “Well.”
There was a wealth of things in that well, with hurt leading the pack. Damn it. “Oh, this?” He looked at the chocolate in his hands. “It’s…a morning ritual.” He stepped on Sally’s foot as she was about to open her big, fat mouth. “Eating chocolate together before we head out for the day.” He nodded and smiled. “Yep, we do it every morning.”
Seth, Pete, Ryan and Red’s heads all bobbed up and down in collective agreement.
“Yessiree,” said Seth.
“Yeppers,” echoed Red and Ryan.
“Perfect dessert to your breakfast,” Red added.
Natalia visibly brightened, her smile becoming full. “Really?”
Tim’s gaze lowered to her lips, and allowed himself to imagine she tasted as good as she looked. “Really.” She looked so different today. She looked real. And he wanted, quite suddenly, to bury his face in the skin in the crook of her neck and inhale like a bloodhound.
“But,” she continued in a sweet, soft chastising voice, “you should have just said you were still hungry.” She smiled. “Never mind. I’ll cook more at lunch.”
“M-more?” Seth glanced in horror at Tim.
“Oh, yes.” She laughed and headed out. “Can’t have you going hungry!”
“Can’t have that,” Sally said through her teeth, and shot Tim a look to kill.
