"Okay, you got me. What is that?"
It had become something of a game for them. While Dani still insisted that she didn't like fruit, she was more than willing to play along with Charlie and try to identify the taste the juices left on his lips.
In private, of course.
She thought she was doing pretty well, but today's fruit remained a mystery despite many kisses (all in the name of research. Not.).
With a grin, Charlie produced a slice of fleshy white fruit and held it to her lips. As the delicious flavor of apple and custard filled her mouth, she was sure to lick the juices from his fingers.
"Cherimoya," he said in a slightly choked tone. "The seeds and skin are toxic, but the reward is worth the work."
If that wasn't a commentary on their own relationship, she'd eat a whole cherimoya.
Still, she smiled and nodded. "Totally worth it."
