Teasing the Palate - Alexandria Ashcroft
They walked in a heavy uncomfortable silence until she broke it.
I’m not ashamed of what we did.
She opened the trunk and he placed the crate inside and closed it. We’re both consenting adults—
She gasped when he closed the space between them and slid his hand around her waist. It seemed made to fit in that curve.
I’m glad you said that.
He clasped the back of her neck and angled her face up to his. Her eyelids fell and her lips parted, waiting. Waiting for him.
That thought alone aroused him not like it would take much, concerning this woman, to make him hot and bothered. He teased her bottom lip requesting permission to taste her tongue. He was developing a disturbing addiction to her kisses, her lips, her reaction to him.

Theresa turned off the state road when she saw an arrow for a winery. In her haste to leave, she forgot to pick-up wine; her only task for the girls’ holiday weekend. She’d been preoccupied with work and her parents coming to town in a couple weeks, she simply forgot. Playing hostess was always a feat that she loathed. Her father always thought he was a king when he visited, no matter how much Theresa stressed she had work and life to tend to, while he was using up all her hot water and eating all her food.
Theresa smiled when a beautiful two-story cabin came into view peeking behind the canopies of the full trees. The whole ‘Christmas in July’ thing was a compromise her friends made so they could spend the holidays with their families and have girl time too. She was one of the last single women left in their group of friends, and they never let her forget about that fact, while at the same time using her to escape the beautiful confines of their lives, relationships, and parental duties.
Theresa was no fool, though. She knew this particular trip was just a ruse by Gina to get Theresa and Lani talking again. It’d been over a year since they stopped talking to each other all because of some stupid guy. A stupid guy, a vast misunderstanding and refusing to talk, created this gaping void that neither woman was willing to span. Lani was another single in their group, desperate to find Mr. Right. So much so, she was blind to her prospective men’s many faults. Lani was her favorite friend for a long time. The last few years, ever since Lani’s first marriage fell apart, they’d grown distant.
Theresa parked her car, taking in the elegant wooden sign that announced she’d arrived at her destination. The cabin that Gina rented wasn’t too far from the winery that Theresa found on her map application She was relieved she’d be able to snag the loot and be less late than she was already planning to be. She’d been ignoring the calls and texts since she left the city. She knew her friends were just being nags.
She walked into the winery taking a deep breath of the woody smell of crates. Displays of wine on wood-slatted shelves, and cards next to groups of bottled wines explaining their origin and the process to make them, littered the space in a classy ornate fashion. The place was charming and sophisticated. Certainly not what she was expecting for a backwoods establishment. A hidden gem for sure.
Her insides jumped around and spread a pleasant heat through her body, when she laid eyes on a rather handsome, well-built man in a plaid
