“It does.” I push my plate to the side, resting my elbows on the table. “When I didn’t get joint custody of Isaac, I swore I’d change my ways. No more bars, no more partying, and I did that.”
“That’s awesome!”
“But for a while, my creativity dried up with it. All I did was work and come home, rinse and repeat. Once I started doing other things, making myself interact with more people in town, my creativity not only came back, but it started thriving.”
“I felt that today after our…” Melody’s words die in her throat. Her eyes flicker down to the table. “Well, after I hung out with you. I went home and wrote three freaking chapters.”
When her eyes flicker back up to mine, I know that we’d better get these dishes cleaned up fast. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out for dessert, and judging by the look on Mel’s face, I’m not the only one.

“Doyou want to watch a movie or something?” I ask as Melody dries the last dish. She insisted on helping, and I didn’t stop her because it meant spending more time with her.
“Maybe.” She shrugs and sets the towel onto the counter.
“Or do you need to be going?”
“No.” She brushes her hair away from her face. “I’m done writing for the night. I don’t want to force it.” She takes a step toward me, and I instantly stiffen in my pants. God, her body is making me crazy. I can’t wait to see what she looks like out of those clothes.
“Well, Miss Park,” I say as my heartbeat kicks into overdrive. “What do you want to do?”
A coy smile plays on her lips. “I think you know.”
“I know what I want to do.” I tilt my head to the side, stepping closer to her. “What do you want to do?”
I slide my hand around her waist and pull her close to me. My other palm cups her cheek. Her skin really is as soft as it looks. “I want to taste you, Melody. I want to taste every inch of your sexy body.” Melody gasps as I run my thumb over her bottom lip. “From this sexy little mouth of yours, all the way down to your hot, steamy center.” Her hooded eyes dance up and down my face. “I’m going to make you come like you’ve never come before, and when it’s all over?” I press her pelvis firmly against my rock-hard length, showing her how bad I want her. “I’ll do it all over again.”
