“And that’s how I obtained into graphic designing,” the handsome blond man in entrance of her stated. Max, early thirties, by no means married and a Capricorn.

Brit crossed her legs and uncrossed them beneath the desk of the fashionable Mediterranean delicacies bistro. She reached for her water, making an attempt to calm her nerves, for the second time. For the final forty minutes, they’d talked about their lives, and he or she’d mentally reminded herself any lady would get pleasure from speaking to a pleasant, smart man with a gradual job and nice hair like Max.

Why did she act like she was about to get nauseated? She leaned in, bobbing her head and pretending to hearken to him and never the evil voices in her head. As a result of this isn’t proper. He isn’t Damian. She’d been so anxious about making the flawed selection by sleeping with Damian, however his absence solely reminded her how proper he’d been for her. No less than they shared chemistry.

“Brit?” Max reached for her hand throughout the desk. “Are you with me?”

Embarrassment heated her cheeks. “Sure. I’m sorry. I simply can’t imagine I’m right here with you, this week appeared infinite.”

He smiled. “I perceive. Lara advised me you’re very shut.”

“Sure. I’ve been fortunate in forming a extremely good group of pals. My women are actually wonderful.”

He took his glass of Chardonnay to his lips. “So are you, Brit.”

She drew in a breath. God, she ought to most likely inform him she wasn’t prepared for a date. No, perhaps she ought to wait till the tip. Why make issues awkward now? “Thanks,” she stated, and took a chew out of her seafood dish to maintain from saying the rest.

I must put money into a therapist as soon as I generate income. She’d at all times cursed the lads who had been slippery and in poor health intentioned, just like the moron who obtained her mom pregnant and took off. But she ended up falling for the same kind to Eddie, who left her on her first trimester.

Maybe Damian being so upfront about his limitations meant authenticity. Both that or she actually sabotaged herself. Why couldn’t she really feel drawn to a candy man like Max?

She centered on her meals, cowardly hoping the awkward silence would do her job and inform Max she wasn’t . Then, her gaze strayed from him to the opposite tables. Principally occupied by enterprise sorts. She sighed, and opened her mouth to ask him a non-personal query to be well mannered when her jaw dropped a bit.

Her coronary heart slammed her ribcage.

Solely a few tables down from hers, sat Damian within the flesh. He’d simply ordered from the waitress.

She jerked her head to the opposite aspect, clearing her throat. She’d advised Adriana the place she’d eat as they made small speak within the morning. Had the nurse talked about it to Damian in passing, or was it a coincidence? He often ate on the hospital cafeteria until he had extra time on his schedule, which didn’t occur typically.

What the hell? “So what do you love to do in your free time?” she requested, lasering her deal with Max. Poor Max, who had been nothing however attentive and cordial.

“I like studying, enjoying tennis, climbing. How about you?”

“I like…” she began, and glanced round them. What if she imagined issues and Damian wasn’t actually there? Hope stabbed at her, and he or she stared on the precise place she’d seen him seconds earlier. Her gaze collided together with his, and he or she shuddered. Nope, this was no hallucination. The person gazed at her blatantly, with an depth in his eyes she’d by no means seen earlier than. Ought to she ignore him? Casually wave and get on with the day? She bit the within of her cheek and checked out Max. “Excuse me, I want to make use of the restroom,” she stated, and surged to her toes earlier than she heard his reply.

Some chilly water on her face would assist her discover some readability. She’d clarify to Max she merely couldn’t date him or anybody till this silly… crush she developed for Damian cooled or handed. Wouldn’t be truthful.

She dashed by way of the restaurant, zig-zagging between tables till she discovered the signal for the restrooms. Somewhat than male or feminine, three totally different doorways led to gender impartial, single stall toilets. She twisted the door deal with of the vacant one, coming into the dimly lit space, catching a whiff of a pleasing perfume of heat vanilla and wildflowers.

She turned to lock the door, when she bumped right into a muscly wall. She yelped.

“Shhh…” Damian closed the door behind her.

She stepped backward till her ass pressed in opposition to the cool granite countertop. “You’re loopy.” What are you doing right here? The query burned on the tip of her tongue, however deep down she knew a unique type of hearth had introduced him there. Pleasure arrowed in reverse instructions by way of her physique, so exhausting and so quick she felt lightheaded.

“Proper now, I’m loopy,” he growled, erasing the hole between them. Inside a breath of her, he hooked his finger beneath her chin as if to ensure she learn the need in his eyes. Even with the dim lighting, she noticed sufficient craving to weaken her knees. “Insane. A fucking lunatic.”

She parted her lips, and a furtive moan slipped out, filling the room. He dipped his head and captured her lips together with his—or maybe she had inched nearer and wrapped her arms round his head, kissing him like she was within the loss of life row and he was her final meal. And what a meal…

He dominated the kiss with vigorous strokes, however behind his veiled energy lay an undertone of needy desperation. She matched his urgency, wrapping her legs round him, her thighs trembling, her coronary heart galloping out of her chest. God, Damian was… he was air and lightweight and water. He grew to become all she wanted.

He nipped her decrease lip, then slid his hand down her physique and hiked up her costume. She quivered, her flesh heating beneath his command. When he slipped a few fingers into her underwear and pulled it down, she whimpered. “You’re so moist for me,” he stated into her ear, his scorching breath sensitizing all her nerve endings like a teasing feather.

He lifted her onto the granite countertop and traced a path of kisses from her mouth to her neck down her chest. Even over the material, his tongue seared her, tightening her nipple and burning her bloodstream.

He buried his head in between her legs, and he or she threw her personal head again, touching the mirror. Growling, he lapped his tongue at her intercourse, French kissing her most intimate half and frightening a stir to shoot up her physique and sizzle each cell in its path.
