Still thinking it was just an accident, he was even more surprised when she left it there and then shocked when he felt a hand settle on his thigh alth of him His little assistant was quite obviously turned on, and he hoped that he hat had her so hot and bothered He tried to keep up with the conversation from the others at the table so that attention would not be focused on what see to let him know that she wanted him?

He couldn’t have been lass on the top of his head Darting a glance at her, he saw that she appeared to be deep in thought Did she even knohat she was doing to hiainst hirab her hand and drag her out of the restaurant and to his car She acted like she’d no idea what had just happened between them

She quickly removed her hand and pulled away fro over there he hoped it continued so to let her have her ith hiet them both arrested He was so turned on he could hardly stay in his seat

She looked so beautiful tonight So were actually hers because they were farthan she would normally wear Her pale creamy breasts swelled out of the top of the dress and s were on display for the world to see Well, hell, she did juh he hated that, he could almost believe that it was just a job to her and not her normal nature

What made that job necessary to her was aat the zipper of his slacks would subside before it was ti that more than his dinner would cool off soon

Claire picked at the shrimp and tilapia she’d ordered Conversation flowed sht a questioning glance directed her way froed a s dinner co with stories from various events he had attended

Suzy continued to be herself and made some comments that Claire was sure that Jason would not appreciate in front of a business associate She, however, was surprised when instead of being offended Jason openly laughed along with Suzy and appeared in no way offended or put off by her outspoken nature

Jason’s thigh returned to press against hers, and she’d given up trying to keep distance between theain had too much to drink thanks to the man beside of her When the waiter returned to clear their plates and offer drinks and desert, Claire gratefully ordered a coffee Soon, everyone was finished and the coffee had helped lessen sone

"Ladies I think I speak for Jason when I say dinner with you was a great pleasure; this is the most enjoyable meal I’ve had in quite some tiree; this has been themeal I’ve had as well in quite some time," replied Jason with a rueful smile Claire wanted to kick him under the table; she was sure his co' part

When Jason took the check from the waiter, Suzy protested, determined to spend Jeff’s money but Jason won in the end and settled the check with the waiter "Ladies, can I drop you off somewhere?" asked Jason

"No thanks Mr D,Claire back at the office to pick up her car, so were cool," replied Suzy

"I’ by the office myself to pick up some papers I left there, why don’t I drop off Claire and save you the trouble Suzy?" offered Jason

Claire shook her head, a polite ‘no thank you’ on her lips when to her shock and disroovy Mr D, that would totally save otten into her? I’et her alone Not only have I felt , now thanks to my best friend I have to ride with him too!

As she tried to catch Suzy’s eye, Claire found herself instead staring at the back of her friend's head as she sailed out of the restaurant ahead of them like a queen She followed as fast as she could, desperate to get Suzy’s attention before Jason and Grayson arrived at the exit of the restaurant

Just as she reached Suzy and took her arm, she felt her other aring up my car now," murmured Jason Shit, she ell and truly trapped Claire released Suzy’s ar look instead

Suzy ignored her and turned instead to Grayson, "Talk at ya later Gray," as she reached up with her knuckle to pop Grayson on the shoulder

Grayson looked a little surprised and vastly amused as he studied Suzy and replied, "Yes, it’s been interesting Suzanna, very interesting" Suzy appeared taken aback at the use of her full nahed it off Grayson turned to Claire and extended his hand to her, "Claire it’s been a pleasure; I’ to you soon"

All too soon, Jason’s sleek black Mercedes arrived at the valet station, and he was holding the door open for her Accepting defeat, Claire slid into the soft, leather seat, and Jason shut the door and walked around to the driver’s side "Claire, why don’t I drop you off at your ho a dark parking lot it would probably be ht"

"Bu… But, I don’t have a way to work toht," stammered Claire

Too late, she realized she’d just stepped neatly into a trap "I’ll of course be glad to pick you up in theas well," replied Jason smoothly

"That’s too much trouble; you can just drop me off at my car"

"I would prefer to see you to your door and know you have arrived hoave him directions to her apartment

"So as the reason for the celebration tonight? I gather it was so to do with a man from the toast I overheard?"

"Mmm, yes, Suzy’s boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, Jeff"

"Bad break-up huh?"

"You could say that I won’t go into the whole thing, but it was sudden and unexpected on her part"

"That’s a real sha any better," said Jason earnestly He just continued to surprise her and apparently her expression showed it
