“You, Shaun, silly. Now, about that Sweet Irish Kiss?”
“Did ya come here for a drink? Or a date?”
“A date is a good start. So long as it finishes with a kiss, and perhaps a flavored condom further down the line? I never did get to try them.”
“Ya kinda left me with the impression that ya weren’t ready for a relationship.”
“Hell, if you’re turning her down, I’ll take ya place.” Devlin jumped beside Rachel.
“Stand down, Dev. I mean...fuck,” he ushered her to join him behind the bar, “I can’t believe ya here. I’ve been thinking of ya ever since.”
“I’m not ready for just anyone. But I am ready for you.... Promise me something?”
“What’s that?”
“Don’t ever cheat on me. If you’ve had enough, say so, and we can call it quits. Okay?”
“Rachel, that’ll never happen.”
“You never know.”
“I know I’d never do that. Me ex-wife fooled around on me, and it’s not a nice feeling. Not at all.”
“Aww, poor baby.” Rachel entwined her fingers in his. “Can we take it slow?”
“I like the sound of that, so I do.” Shaun smiled, tightened his grip around her hand, and gave her that Sweet Irish Kiss she’d come looking for. But this one didn’t involve a bottle of Irish Cream. It would later, though. Shaun grinned, imagining sliding ice coated in Baileys over Rachel’s curves and watching them melt with her sensational body heat.
