He smiled, took a step closer "When ere kids, every once in a while htI don’t knohat it was But we loved it, Trent, Jason, and I Our dad always brought out the pie, cake, even ice cream sundaes before we’d have dinner"

"Did you finish your dinner?"

"Not always But we enjoyed it more because we’d done it backwards"

"That’s sweet If we’re not having cake firstthen what made you think of that story?"

Glen took another step closer and reached over to push one of the curls from her shoulder Heat rose in his eyes, and the response of her body was chemical "Because of this"

His hand slid behind her neck and encouraged her into his arms as he lowered his lips to hers

She was stunned From head to toe her body short-circuited He arm and smelled deliciousand utterly confident as he pressed her body next to his The span of his hand wrapped around her waist but didn’t move beyond that spot She slooke up, closed her eyes, and kissed hiue before he backed away

With her eyes closed she felt his stare

"I wanted to do that for a very long time," he confessed

She slowly opened her eyes and kept looking at his chest "You caught er under her chin and forced her to look at hi without either of us wondering what that was going to taste like"

"You had your dessert first"

Glen shrugged "What can I say? I have a sweet tooth"

She grabbed her clutch on the counter "Shall we?"

He placed his hand on the small of her back and led her outside

Glen had been told by one of his very first girlfriends that woh all the years of dating, all the woe, he’d never kissed one when she opened the door

Damn, he was happy he’d done it with Mary She tasted like cinnaum, or lanced over at her, sitting in the seat beside his and wore sexy heels that should be impossible to walk in Daed her skin Mary was a beautiful woht she was sexy So in the way she s him with every word? He didn’t want to question it

"So where are you taking me?"

This here Glen had all his cards "Have you ever had a progressive dinner?"

"Like hopping froreat place for drinks before dinner The view is spectacular A short ride from there we have dinner reservations"

He liked when she smiled at him "And dessert?"
