“I believe he’s nervous. I advised him I’ll take you to the hospital…properly, after we eat the steak and lobster, after all.”

I can’t imagine she has dinner coming, however I can’t say I thoughts it. I’m ravenous really, and I don’t need her to depart.

“You’ll keep for dinner?” I ask, elevating a forehead.

“The least you are able to do is feed me after I survived that embarrassing scene out on the road getting you right here. And I’ve been a ravenous pupil for 4 years. I haven’t had steak and lobster in a very long time.” She smiles and it goes straight to my dick.

“So, is that this like our first date?” I take my shot. She’s so rattling cute I can’t assist myself.

“This isn’t a date. I don’t date folks I work with.”

“But when we didn’t work collectively, wouldn’t it be a date?”

“Nicely, I don’t know. You poked me within the eye, probably rounded second base once I tried to get you on the elevator while you gripped my boob to regular your self. And that is all after the entire fiasco the primary time I noticed you.” She shrugs, however her lips flip up within the corners.

I grabbed her tit? That’s crucial factor I take from what she stated earlier than processing her phrases.

“I’m not your boss. You don’t reply to me,” I say, leaning ahead to seize my water.

“Relationship is off the desk,” she says, her face stern. “I’m no one’s mistress.”

The place the hell did that come from?

Chapter 9

Mazie

Aidan backs off after I make it clear this gained’t be going anyplace. Or perhaps it’s as a result of he’s nonetheless coughing, and his head is pounding, so he isn’t up for the combat. Both manner, I discover myself sitting on his sofa with him watching Bridgerton, as a result of he misplaced the guess that he might guess my favourite place in New York Metropolis. He thought it will be Bryant Park throughout the holidays, nevertheless it’s really the New York Public Library as a result of there’s nothing I really like greater than a library with historical past.

The scent of previous books. It’s my weak point.

And I’m grateful for this minor victory or we’d be watching a Bourne Identification film. Not that I’ve something towards Matt Damon. However I’m not up for an intense film in the meanwhile.

I lick my fingers and look over at him to search out him watching me.

“What? Oh, let me guess, you’re too correct to lick your fingers?”

“No. I imply, I don’t usually lick my fingers as a result of I occur to know what number of germs are on our arms.” He holds his arms up. “However the considered licking your fingers is a special story.”

I look away and attempt to calm my respiratory. His not-so-subtle sexual innuendos are attending to me.

“Even after dumping me with a puddle of rainwater combined with sewage?” I poke enjoyable at his germ phobia or no matter one calls that, earlier than taking one other chew of lobster and groan.

“Sure. In some way the thought of you moist, even in filthy water…I’m completely right here for it.”

I look again on the TV as a result of issues are getting heated once more. It’s been the most effective couple of hours I’ve had in a very long time. There’s a consolation with him that I can’t clarify. And we’re sitting in his bougie condo consuming on the sofa on the espresso desk as a result of he’s really a brilliant down-to-earth man, even when his house is tremendous fancy.

After I look again at him this time, I discover some motion down south and my eyes can’t look away. There’s fairly the tent in his pants and I cowl my mouth with my hand and attempt to look again on the TV.

He clears his throat. “It’s in all probability the laughing gasoline or since you maintain licking your fingers seductively, groaning and speaking about your self being soaked in water in that fucking excellent white outfit.”

I pause Bridgerton as a result of that is too good. I wipe my mouth with my serviette and smile. “Do you imply soiled white, or the now completely grey outfit?”

He doesn’t chortle, so I clearly missed the mark. “Let me change it. It’s the least I can do.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I can’t imagine you keep in mind what I used to be carrying.”

“I keep in mind. Your hair was tied up in your head. The white tank and leggings hugged your physique completely. I imply, I noticed you from a fucking block away.”
