“Let me see,” Bella whispered. “Those aren’t feet. Oh wait, yes, they are. Wait.”

“It’s her and Jamie!” Jenna laughed. “Guess there’s no cookie dough for us tonight. Go, go, go.”

As their feet scampered down the steps, Jessica pushed away from Jamie and grabbed the cookie dough, then flung open the front door and hurled it over the deck, pegging Bella in the back.

“Ow! What the…?” Bella said. She and Jenna bent over and searched the ground, finally spotting the cookie dough.

Jenna snagged it and waved it over her head at Jessica. “Thanks, babe!” she yelled. “Go, go, go.” She shooed Jessica back inside.

Jessica shut the door feeling like she’d come home to the friends and the man she was meant to be with. Jamie closed the distance between them, sealing his lips over hers again.

“Sorry,” he said against her lips. “I suck at pretending.”

“Then don’t pretend.” She dropped her towel. “Think you can bring me more pleasure than that cookie dough would have?”
