“You should.I’m a total catch,” he teased, knowing full well he intended to ask her.Soon.When they were settled in Boston.He didn’t want to overwhelm her with too much all at once.

“I’ll think about it,” she teased back, trying not to smile.“I mean, you are really fantastic in bed.”

Fuck.He went hard just thinking about how she’d woken him up this morning with her sweet mouth on his hard cock.“Are you going to meet me there tonight?”

“No place I’d rather be.”

“Good.”He pulled her in for a kiss that was all too short and chaste as the students started packing up their stuff.

Danny stopped next to them.“Thanks for all your help today.”

“My pleasure.”The softness in Melody’s voice said she meant it.“I can’t wait to see how it all turns out.”

Danny’s cheeks went ruddy.“See you tomorrow.”

“I’ll be here.”

Danny lingered.“You’ve got really great suggestions.”

“Your talent will sell itself.Don’t forget to look into shipping costs for some of your larger pieces, so you can price accordingly.”

“I will.”Danny ducked his head and left with some of the others, leaving Fox and Melody with Amy in the room.

Fox nearly groaned, but held it back as Amy approached, holding Melody’s bag.

“Here you go.”Amy’s smile seemed too bright and cheerful to be genuine.

Melody took her purse.“Thanks.Off to get ready for your evening class?”

Amy turned to him.“Will you be joining us for dinner?The class is making steamed salmon, wild rice with button mushrooms, and steamed broccoli with a butter garlic sauce.”

“Sounds amazing, but Dean and I have plans.”

Amy glanced at Melody.“I take it you’ll be working the bar.”

“As always.Though Wednesdays aren’t as packed as the weekend, so it should be an easy night.”She pressed a kiss to Fox’s lips.“I’m sorry I don’t have time for lunch.And I might be a little late because I need to make the schedule for next week.”

He brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, just so he could touch her.“You know where to find me.”

Melody grinned, then nodded to Amy.“I hope you found the classes helpful.”

“I did.When I get back to Boston, I’m going to set up shop.Maybe soon I’ll even be able to do it full-time, instead of working for someone else.”

“I love being my own boss,” Melody said, pulling her car keys out of her bag.She gave him a quick kiss.“See you tonight.”Melody walked out of the classroom, leaving him with Amy.

He immediately headed for the door, too.

“Hey, hold up a sec.”

Fox reluctantly stopped.He had work to do, but didn’t want to be rude.Not to someone who worked for him, even if she had made things weird.“What’s up?”

“I heard you’re opening a new restaurant in Boston.”

How the hell did she hear that?He’d told Tanya.Melody had told her family.She probably talked to them at the bar, which meant others overheard them.

Small towns.Everyone knew everything.

“I would love to open my own bakery, but that dream is going to take some time.You know my skills and that I’ve worked in catering.I love baking and cooking.I’d love a job as a chef at your place.Or better yet, to be your dessert and pastry chef.”
