Here it was, she had plans to seduce him, and here he was, wrecking her plans with one simple move. Kizzie stood up straight, the move causing her ass to rub on him.
“It’s a polish boy,” she said, finally able to get her thoughts together.
“A what?” He laughed. He moved the foil out of the way to reveal more of the sandwich. The aroma of the sauce and meat greeted them. “I may not know much about my roots, but I can tell you, that is not Polish.”
“You’re Polish?” Her voice ended on a squeak.
She glanced over her shoulder at him, his blue eyes meeting hers. This was news to her. For as long as she had known him, he hadn’t talked much about his family. His parents had been horrible and his childhood filled with abuse and neglect. It wasn’t often he spoke of his parents. His father was dead and his mother was still alive, but that was pretty much all she knew.
“How did you not know that? My given name is Nikoderm Rusek. Polish descendants.” He shrugged as if this would be common knowledge.
“How the hell am I supposed to know your nationality just by a name?” She raised an eyebrow at him. Seriously, how would she know that? Did he know her family’s nationality from the name Kizzie McCall? Many people thought her name, Kizzie, was short for something, but it wasn’t. Her mother had just loved the name and had given it to her.
“Well, now you do. My great-grandparents emigrated to the States around the nineteen thirties.” He jerked his chin toward the plate. “And I can definitely tell you no one in my family ever served anything that looked like that.”
Kizzie chortled and turned back around and picked up the dog. She spun around and held it up to his lips.
“Well, Polish boy, have your first taste of a Cleveland polish boy.” She giggled.
His eyes narrowed on her for a moment before his lips curved up in the corner. His tough-guy persona didn’t work on her. It may have everyone else convinced, but not her. He leaned down and opened his mouth. She guided the dog to him, helping him get his first bite of the sandwich. As she expected, it was messy. Barbecue sauce and a smear of the coleslaw rested on the edges of his mouth and chin.
They laughed as the sandwich practically fell apart in her hand. Thankfully, with the foil coverings, none of it landed on the floor. It was common for this to happen. A messy sandwich was the best kind to have.
Niko, covered with barbecue and coleslaw sauce on his mouth, was one of the sexiest things she had ever seen.
He chewed a few times before finally swallowing.
“That has to be one of the best things I have eaten in a long while.” Niko shook his head while his gaze dropped down to her hands.
He had yet to remove his hands from the counter, leaving her to feed him, which she didn’t mind. She raised the dog again, and he took another bite. More of the sauce landed on his lips and chin.
Her attention zeroed in on his lips, watching him chew. Once he swallowed, she reached up and wiped the corner of his mouth with her finger. She held her breath and moved her finger to his lips that parted. His tongue snuck out and licked the barbecue sauce off her skin.
Kizzie inhaled sharply, suddenly needing to finish what she’d stared. She wiped the other side of his mouth and again offered her finger for him. His eyes met with hers as he again cleaned her finger.
“I’m glad you like it,” she said. Her voice sounded husky to her. She glanced down at her other hand that held what was left of the sandwich.
“I do, but I don’t want to eat all of it. Here, allow me.”
Niko took the foil from her and stepped toward her, pushing her up against the counter. He held the kielbasa to her mouth. Kizzie opened it wide so she could take a bite. The hunger pains she had felt when she’d first left work were no longer there.
The hunger she experienced now was not for food.
The taste of the kielbasa’s spiciness, the hickory of the barbecue sauce, and the sweetness of the coleslaw exploded on her tongue. This was the type of meal one savored, but she had other things on her mind right now. She finished chewing and swallowed hard.
This was what she had wanted for so long, and finally, she was going to get what she wanted.
“You have a little bit here,” Niko murmured.
His large hand came to her face, swiping the sauce off her lips with his finger. He slid it along her bottom lip, his gaze pinned on her mouth. She parted her lips and sucked his finger inside.
“Fuck.”
Kizzie bit back a moan. She ensured there was no sauce left on his finger. She twirled her tongue around it, showcasing what she was capable of. Her breath caught in her throat at the thought of licking the length of something else of his.
Niko raised his eyes to meet hers. The desire burning in his bright-blue eyes fueled her on.
Niko wanted her.
