What had I done?
What was I doing?
It was impulsive to invite him back but I wasn't ready for the day to be over.
It was Friday, Carlisle would be home for the next two days and I wouldn't be able to spend hours out on the beach with Edward.
I needed more time today.
He looked at me hungrily as he asked where and I clarified I wanted him to come home with me.
I watched him swallow, his eyes darkening before he finally nodded his head and stood, offering me his hand.
We called the dogs and noticed Leah had a slight limp. Assuming she'd stepped on a jelly, we knew she'd be fine in an hour or so.
Edward surprised me when he scooped her up and hefted her onto his shoulders.
He was taking care of her and thereby me.
I fell a little deeper in that moment.
We walked silently back, our hips occasionally bumping against each other.
I wondered if he felt the heat each time we touched or if it was just me.
