A slow smile spread across Charlee’s mouth. Surely, he knew telling her to stop doing something
was like telling her to go for it. Most people would be sympathetic to the apparent battle going on inside
of him. She wasn’t most people. Happiness bubbled inside of her at the thought that she was making him
crazy.
Served him right. The way she’d been missing him had been just as much torture, and she was glad
he’d been experiencing it, too. Heck, she was so elated, a happy dance on top of the counter in only her
underwear seemed in order. But she wouldn’t. At least not today.
“Okay, now that we got that out in the open, let’s talk.”
He whipped his head around so fast it was a wonder it didn’t roll off of his neck.
“Are you kidding me? We just talked. I just talked.”
Charlee burst out laughing. She laughed even harder when he rolled his eyes and poured himself
another cup of coffee. If it was left up to Liam, he’d probably never talk.
“Okay, okay, I’ll do the talking and you’ll listen, something you’re really good at anyway. But
there’s just one thing.”
Just as he brought the mug up to his lips, Charlee took it from him and set it on the counter next to
the stove. She tugged on the front of his shirt, and Liam lifted a questioning brow but allowed her to pull
him closer. His dark, piercing eyes met hers.
They wanted the same thing.
Her body hummed with need and her nipples tightened at the burning desire illuminating in his
eyes. When his gaze volleyed from her eyes to her mouth, Charlee couldn’t resist any longer. She raised
up on tiptoe and gently pressed her lips to his, anxious to see if that spark that they once shared was still
there.
A jolt of electricity raced over her skin and excitement pulsed through her veins as her senses
leaped to life.
Yep, that spark is still there.
She might’ve started the kiss, but Liam quickly took over. One of his strong arms encircled her
waist and he pulled her tight against his body while his other hand gripped the back of her neck. His
tongue swept into her mouth with a soul-reaching urgency that had Charlee gripping the back of his shirt,
holding on for dear life.
She wasn’t surprised by her own eager response. Each time she’d seen him, she’d wanted to kiss
him, taste him, be reminded of how perfect his mouth felt against hers. She wanted to be locked in his
arms again and finally, finally she was right where she wanted to be if only for a minute.
When the kiss ended, a whoosh of air burst from her lungs and Charlee steadied herself, trying to
exude some level of coolness. She didn’t want him to see how much the kiss affected her.
The left corner of his juicy lips quirked up. “I wondered if you’d taste the same,” he said huskily.
“Well, did I?” she asked, her voice shakier than she would’ve preferred.
His gaze lowered to her mouth and settled there for a while before reaching her eyes again. “I think
I need another sample before I can form an official answer.

We’re actually doing a staycation this year. Pittsburgh actually has a lot to do. Being a smaller city I’m surprised it didn’t make the list with how many things there are to do. We’re planning on taking the kids to the National Aviary next week. We will be attending a preview event for the 2019 Pittsburgh Children’s film festival next week as well.

IF those things aren’t up your alley there’s also the Children’s Museum, PPG Zoo and aquarium, Carnegie Science Center, Gateway Clipper, Catching a Pirates, Penguins, or Steelers game, Riverhounds soccer games, several malls, Andy Warhol museum, Kennywood park, Sandcastle, Phipps Conservatory, Catch a show at the Benedum Center, shop at one of the best known outdoor markets at Market Square, Rivers Casino, …I really could keep going but that gives you an idea. Honestly I live fairly close to Pittsburgh and I still haven’t done everything there is to do.
