Excerpt
âLook.â I
point at the recipe. âFlour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest,
salt, almond milk, canola oil, vanilla, lemon juice, and fresh blueberries. The
streusel on top has some vegan butter in it, but thatâs everything.
Promise.âÂ
He leans
close enough that I can smell the sharp clean scent of his body wash and
expensive aftershave.Â
âHuh. Well
theyâre way better than the last ones.â He practically inhales another one.
My teeth
sink into my lower lip and tug. âUm, yeah. I over-mixed those. And I didnât
know you were supposed to mix your wet and dry ingredients separately. My mom
gave me some tips this time.âÂ
His eyes
drop to my mouth but Iâm not sure why. Jonah doesnât see me like that. He never
looks at my mouth. Maybe the way to his heart really is through his
stomach.Â
âCan I keep
this?â He retrieves the recipe from the countertop. âI might have Erma make a
big batch for some friends of mine.â
âMmhm.â Iâm
temporarily stunned from the way heâs openly watching my mouth. Our faces are
close enough to touch.Â
Erma is his
housekeeper and sheâs an amazing cook. Iâd be jealous of her but sheâs sixty
and looks like Mrs. Doubtfire so I donât think sheâs Jonahâs type.Â
âThanks.
Donât give the dogs any of my muffins,â he teases.Â
Zeus gave
up long ago but Achilles is still staring longingly at the muffins.
He moves to
exit the kitchen and my brain resumes full function once heâs out of my
personal space.Â
âJonah, wait.âÂ
He turns,
his hip bones doing that sexy V thing that make my mouth water.Â
âI actually
need that recipe back.â My body shifts into panic mode as he regards me warily
with the recipe in his hand. âIâll type you up a better copy. I need to make a
few adjustments anyway and I canât remember what website I got that one
from.âÂ
My heart is
racing and my words are coming out on top of one another.
Jonahâs
expression says Iâm acting as crazed as I feel.Â
He doesnât
make a move to give it back.Â
âJonah,
seriously. I need that one. Please.âÂ
I have no
poker face. Iâm practically begging and that is not like me.Â
âYou need it?â He cocks his head to the side,
amusement dancing in his eyes.Â
For a few
seconds, I worry heâs going to pull some big brother crap on meâhold it over my
head and make me jump for it or something. I get enough of that from Mikey and
Tony. I definitely donât need it from Jonah.Â
Thankfully
he just shakes his head and starts to hand it back.Â
Until his
eyes catch the writing on the back.Â
âWhatâs
this?â He glances at me then back at the list. âYour Christmas wish list on
here, Rossi?âÂ
âGive it
back, Jonah. Iâm serious.â I canât breathe.Â
I reach for
it and he steps backward. âHang on a minute. I need to know what to get you for
Christmas.âÂ
His
eyebrows shoot up as soon as he makes out the words. His lips move as he reads.
I never noticed that before.Â
I give
myself a mental slap. Iâm losing sight of whatâs important here.Â
âAdult
toys, lingerie, and law breaking?â Jonah nods appreciatively. âArenât you a
busy little elf this holiday season?âÂ
âShut up.
My sister-in-law wrote that. She thought it would show you that I deserve the
job.â I sigh heavily. âYouâve had your fun. Now give it back.âÂ
He hasnât
made it to number six yet.Â
Please, sweet baby Jesus, donât let him make it
to number six.
âHang on,â
he says, reaching out and keeping me at armâs length. âWhat else have we got
here?âÂ
âJonah!â I
make a grab for the list, swiping my hand wildly, hoping to at least tear
it.Â
I miss,
catching his towel instead.Â
In one
split-second, my entire universe takes a hard left.Â
Jonahâs
towel falls and he is naked, holding a piece of paper that suggests I sit on
his face.Â
