now.”
“I think you’re right.” She still couldn’t look away from him. “A walk and a movie sounds good.”
She didn’t care what the movie was. It could have been a cheesy 1950s sci-fi movie for all she cared.
After Grady put on a warm jacket, clipped the leash on Spot, they first went to Chelsey’s car to get a warmer coat for her.
The walk was nice, especially when Grady slipped her arm through his and kept her close. The chill on Chelsey’s cheeks and nose made her feel alive. She enjoyed the crisp coldness of the evening, and loved the smell of fall on the air.
Spot sniffed everything they passed, and Grady let him have a little extra leash to explore, but the dog was still well-behaved and obeyed all commands.
They talked about the game and she expressed how impressed she had been with his skill on the ice. He shrugged. “Teamwork makes it possible.”
“Yes, that’s true.” She smiled as she looked at him. She tipped her head back because he was so much taller than her. “Your skill allows you to take that teamwork and make things happen.”
“Like I said, I’ve been skating and playing hockey as long as I can remember.” He smiled down at her. “What do you think about going skating together closer to the end of the week? I need to check my schedule to see what shifts I’m working, but I think we’d have a good time on the ice.”
“I’d like that.” She nodded. “Skating with someone who’s great on the ice is always fun.”
“Good.” He held her closer to his side. “I’ll give you a call later this week.”
After spending time out with Spot, they returned to the apartment. Grady hung up their jackets and Spot plopped down on a large dog bed near the couch.
Chelsey leaned against the archway in the kitchen as she watched Grady make popcorn in an old-fashioned popper on the stovetop. The warm smell of buttery popcorn soon filled the kitchen. When it was finished, and after he made two cups of hot cocoa with tons of marshmallows, just the way she liked, they returned to the living room.
Her belly fluttered as she sat on one end of the couch. He sat beside her, so close their bodies touched from shoulder to knee. The heat of his body and his sheer presence sent her heart racing and her hormones elevated a notch or ten.
“We’re bound to find a pay-per-view movie that sounds good.” Grady used the remote to turn on the large TV, then searched through the movies listed. It didn’t take long to pick a romantic comedy that had been out of the theaters for a couple of months.
He put his arm around her shoulder and held her close, the bowl of popcorn on his lap. She was surprised how relaxed she felt with him and a happy sigh rose in her as tension flowed away in his in his embrace.
The movie was an endearing, funny, tearjerker that had Chelsey laughing and growing teary at different moments. By the time it was over, she felt so comfortable with Grady that she didn’t want to move. He turned off the TV and she tipped her head to look at him.
“You are sweet as honey.” He put his fingers on her chin and stroked his finger along her jawline, his look intense. “I knew it from the moment I saw you on the ice. It’s in everything about you. You are genuine and there’s no way for you to be anyone but who you appear to be.”
Tingles traveled from her scalp to her toes. She wasn’t sure how to respond, but she managed to whisper, “Thank you.”
He captured her face in one hand and lowered his head. He moved his mouth over hers, gently nipping her lower lip before sucking the soft flesh between his teeth.
She caught her breath at the sensually erotic way he kissed her. She tasted popcorn and hot chocolate, and Grady’s wonderful flavor. He slid his tongue inside her mouth, and the tingles expanded everywhere.
A moan rose inside her as he kissed her. He stroked her shoulders down to her elbows and back. He touched the skin above her breasts, and then skimmed his
