Mallory had this amazing ability to calm him down while simultaneously causing him to burn with lust. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The sound of cicadas in the night air surrounded them, their nightly song echoing through Buckeye Falls. Mallory finally cleared her throat and gestured with the box toward the door. “Can I come in?” “Erm, yeah.” Beckett stepped back and held the door open for her, catching a whiff of her perfume as she slunk inside. Mallory always smelled like summertime: sweet and tangy like a handful of blackberries. Mallory took a few paces inside and looked around. Beckett said a silent prayer of thanks that he had the forethought to start unpacking. It was a mess, but at least it looked like his mess. “Cute.” She said the word with a small smile, plopping the box on top of the coffee table. She turned like she was going to leave, her presence not required beyond the delivery. Instinctively, Beckett blocked the way, letting the door close behind him on a soft click. “Where are you going?” he asked, his pulse kicking up at the idea that he wouldn’t see her for more than another moment. Shrugging, Mallory pointed to the door. “Home?” Before he could think better of it, Beckett blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Stay. Have dinner with me.” Mallory didn’t respond at first, but he didn’t miss the flush that crept up her neck. “You want to have dinner with me?” “Yes?” he replied, although it was far from a question. Beckett wanted Mallory to stay as long as she liked—for dinner or the rest of her life. He wasn’t picky. BUY LINKS: |
