She flipped his hand like she had every right to. Wrist in her grip, then his palm on the top of her crossed leg, brown pantyhose under his fingers, silky and warm. Her lashes dropped and lifted once. Eyes locked on his. Oops, again.
For a second he didn’t move. God, he missed being touched. Her hand on him under the table he could explain away. An accident. A selfie. This was him, actively, on her thigh. That was a line.
He gave her leg one gentle squeeze. Felt the nylon, the warmth under it. Then he drew his hand back, careful, like he was setting something down he wasn’t supposed to be holding.
“Very nice,” he said, quiet, almost a joke. “Fortunately they aren’t bare, or I’d have a much harder time behaving.”
The waitress arrived before either of them had to sit in that. He looked up at her like she’d saved him.
“Filet and shrimp for both of us. Onion soup, the works. And whatever she wants to drink.”
He offered Celeste a smile, patting the hand he’d left on her own knee, encouraging her to order a drink.
