Hannah opened a plastic container of frosted cookies. She moved her phone so Brandee could see them.
“My mouth is watering. I bet they taste delicious.”
“It’s the first time I’ve made brown butter icing. They are seriously to die for.”
“I’m going to sneak out of the house and show up at Hop’s Heaven.”
“You should!”
“Girl, it’s a school night, so I’m going to be asleep before nine o’clock.”
“Maybe I can make you some soon.”
“Hey, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? You should come over. Luc’s family would love to have you.”
“Thanks, but I don’t want to crash the first major holiday you and Luc will have with his family. Besides, maybe Kate will invite me to come with her to her family’s.”
“Well, if that doesn’t happen, come by us, with or without the cookies.”
The door buzzer sounded loudly in her kitchen. “That’s Kate! I’ve got to run!”
“Have a great night, Han! And feel free to call me tomorrow and tell me all about it!”
“Thanks, Bran!”
Hannah rushed over to the intercom. “Kate?”
“It’s me!”
“Do you want to come up? Or should I just come down?”
“Can you come down? I’m starving.”
“Sure.”
Hannah got the cookies and shoved her feet into her ankle boots. Nervousness had her pulse racing and her breathing shallow. She locked the door behind her and trotted down the stairs. She pushed open the heavy door to the vestibule and swallowed a gasp. Kate had her hair slicked back in a pompadour, and she was wearing that black leather jacket with the wide lapels. Today she had on black pleather pants that fit her like a glove. Hannah had only seen Kate with a little mascara on, but tonight her green eyes were outlined with kohl, and on her lips was a shimmery mauve lipstick. Hannah ran her tongue over her top lip. She was ready to skip Friendsgiving and drag Kate up to her place and ravage her.
Kate put her hand out and Hannah took it in her free hand. Kate leaned over and kissed her cheek. “God, you smell delicious.”
“It’s the brown butter pumpkin cookies.”
Kate gave her a sidelong glance, “It’s not just the cookies.”
“You’re making me blush.”
“I’ll do more than that later.”
Hannah melted against Kate as Kate caressed her ass, leaving a trail of heat in her wake.
“Jax will kill me if I don’t show up with the pierogies they paid half for; otherwise, I’d be dragging you off to bed right now.”
Hannah’s nipples were hard from the heat in Kate’s eyes. “I never knew how much I was missing before I met you.”
They began walking toward Kate’s car. “How so?” Kate asked.
“The guys I was involved with, they never made me feel wanted like you do.”
“They were morons.”
