Excerpt:
I hadn’t known it was possible that someone’s voice on a cell phone could make your heart skip a beat. What kind of sorcery was that?
And it was even worse when Riley walked into a room.
Like now.
“Practice was good. It was a tough workout, but the juniors are coming along and I didn’t feel like I was going to puke afterward. In fact, if it hadn’t been so stormy, I’d planned on jogging over here.”
“That is not a storm. It’s little baby snowflakes and wind,” I taunted.
Riley snorted. “You just said my lips were cold. I could test them on your dick.”
“I accept your challenge, but we’re at a crucial moment with the dough. We have to knead the dough, proof it, knead it again, and bake it. You leave the dough for too long, you get bad bread.”
“I thought all bread was good.”
“Meh, not quite. If it’s over-proofed, your bread will look funny. It will collapse or go lopsided and the flavors may be off. That won’t be a problem for us. I don’t make bad bread.”
“I believe you. I’ve never attempted to make bread. Out of my wheelhouse.”
“I don’t know what that means, but today is your lucky day. Come, Riley. You can take over while I stare at your ass.”
He barked a laugh and shook his head as if to protest. “Actually, you know what? Put me in, Coach. Show me how to knead your dough.”
Riley hopped off the counter and sidled behind me, squeezing my ass as he tilted his hips suggestively. An electric current zinged through me at the contact and just like that, my cock swelled in my sweats. A rogue vision of Riley inside me took me by surprise. I hadn’t been on the receiving end in years—not my thing. But I might be persuaded…for him.
Crisse, where had that come from?
I refocused, tossing a spare apron his way without making eye contact, waiting till he’d washed his hands to fire off instructions.
“Flour first.” I dusted his hands liberally with flour and pointed at the heel of his palm. “Dig into it. Don’t be shy. Good. Now fold the dough in half toward you and push it away. Turn the dough and repeat.”
He listened intently, making adjustments as advised. “So…this is it? Doesn’t seem so hard.”
“It’s not. Baking is a science. As long as you follow the rules, you’ll get the results you want.”
