office. I have work to do. Thanks for dinner,” I say, and walk out of the restaurant. Outside, the typical Seattle sky opens up and pours on my head. I don’t have an umbrella with me, and seriously, I don’t even care. I need to cool down, like literally from what just happened in there. I think if Jax hadn’t have left when he did, I may have lost all control, and I may have dragged him back into the ladies room and locked the door.

When I saw Shay and Adrian come into the restaurant, it put a smile on my face. But when I saw the rest of the family coming in, too, I suddenly became a klutz in the kitchen. I dropped one completely dished plate and burned two steaks. Parker finally pushed me out of the way before I made an even bigger mess. Every thirty seconds I’d look out the swinging doors to see if Ava was here, too. There was one vacant seat at the table and I was hoping she’d be the one to fill it. I know when I left her office this morning she seemed like she was pretty mad at me, but she’d still meet her family here for dinner, right?
The next time I looked out the door the seat was occupied. I could see the all familiar brown hair hiding behind an open menu. I smiled to myself knowing that she was trying to hide from me. When Jenna came back and turned in their order, she told Parker that she had a special order for a picky eater. My ears perked up. When she said the guest wanted it cooked well-done, I had to know who had ordered it. Of course it was Ava. First Parker cringed, because everyone knows a good burger is cooked to medium-rare. Then when she described Ava, I was the one pushing Parker out of the way and I knew just what Ava was going to get. I live with one of the world’s pickiest eaters, and I know how to put things in the food that will make it taste better without them knowing it. When you stuff blue cheese in a burger, it melts into the meat and makes for one hell of a juicy delicious burger. I also cooked it just a tad over medium-rare. I perfectly timed it and took it off the grill so there was no pink showing, and not well-done like she ordered.
I told Jenna I wanted to come out to the table, and sure enough, not fifteen seconds later I saw Ava leave the table. I quickly made an appearance at the table and offered complimentary cheesecake, then parked myself outside the ladies room. I smile at myself for being so cocky.
She was less than pleased to see me, and even less pleased to know I put something in her burger that she didn’t know about. I saw her eyes roll in the back of her head when she took the first bite, so I knew she loved it. The banter between the two of us in the hallway had my dick in my pants straining for the first time in two years. When she threw her shoe at me, it was like the dam broke and I just needed to be close to her. In two strides I had her pinned to the wall, her sunshine scent infiltrated my nose and all I wanted to do was sink my tongue deep in her mouth. The hitch in her breath as I took in a deep breath of her, told me she wanted this just as much as I did. I heard the men’s room door open to my left. I caught a glimpse of Parker’s white chef coat before he exited the men’s restroom, and I growled in frustration. Before Parker could see what I was doing, I turned away from Ava and walked back toward the kitchen.
As soon as I walked in, I turned around and walked right back out. Looking out the front windows I see Ava standing on the sidewalk, face to the sky, while the rain drenches her. I see everyone at her table looking at the same thing I am. Several of them start to get up from their chairs, and I don’t even think. Before any of them can get completely up, I rush to the front desk, grab an umbrella and exit the restaurant. I open the umbrella and place it over both of our drenched heads.
“What are you doing? You’re completely soaked?” I ask, looking into her face.
She turns her head and looks into my eyes, they’re
