Fortune's Deception
“She ran her tongue over her teeth, pressed her lips together to make sure they were evenly coated with gloss. Any excuse to prolong this, any reason to not knock on his door just yet.
She was already fifteen minutes late, had been standing on his front porch for what felt like an eternity. Knew that what waited for her inside his house was something she had never ventured into before. Uncharted territory was about to be explored.
The uncharted territory of an actual, real live, serious date. At... a man’s house with said man making her dinner. Dinner. This was important.
And scarier than shit.
Before she could bolt, she raised her arm to knock on the door and it swung open, shocking her silent as her arm dropped to her side. Charlie stood in the doorway, looking amazing in an untucked button-up white cotton shirt, sleeves rolled up casually, jeans and bare feet. She stared at those feet, a warmth trickling through her veins at his intimate appearance.
So casual, so homey, so right. That’s what it all felt like.MoreLess
