"Stupid business casual," he muttered to hi the kind of pants where his arousal could become very obvious

Now that he stood in front of her, notheest idiot on the planet for even joking about not dating her She was stunning, all curves and woman and he wanted to smell her, bury his face in that sweet neck, feel her in his arms and listen to her breath as he made her happy

What did her cries of ecstasy sound like? Would she turn her face away? Bite the pillow? Rake lines of ownership into his back with those glossy nails?

Later Later, he would find out The same confidence that had always been there for hi in his head, it just knew She was his, and she didn’t know it yet But she would, and he had all the tiue

He just stood there and stared at her and didn’t knohat to say; he couldn’t recite ent through his head as his eyes roaraphy of her body She stood there and stared at him and didn’t seem to knohat to say, either This silent dance needed a better beat

One he could drive ho to the door, "That is a great restaurant you picked" Her voice as breathless as he felt Except she was actually talking and he was standing there looking like a fish out of water, hisas he tried desperately to get so

Where the hell was that confidence now? He wasn’t aard or worried or any of those na It was ht of her and everything but his arousal went into hibernate ible to co his way out of the enor hole of lust he’d just tripped into

How in the hell was she still single? Why hadn’t someone snatched her up?

"It’s this whole Asian fusion thing My friend tolda first date here and it ht be a place to impress somebody Not tapas, I know…" And the food is supposed to be alittering eyes wary, already on guard from his lame attempt at humor on the phone

He felt like an ass, could sense he was losing her, and his charm systeetting a woman to step out of her pants within an hour of their first drink in a bar, but the slower burning Dylan who stuo and who felt sucker punched and euphoric all at once

"So ihed and looked at him with an uncertain caution in her eyes, a caution that he actually did not like but that spoke of soer on

"Yeah," he said, a slow grin stretching over his face, the word more a promise than an answer

"I don’t think you have to worry about so aith a bashful s down the side of her crea a safe barrier and holding her in place

He cocked his head, looked her over again and wondered what on earth was she was talking about Standing outside the restaurant babbling like an idiot wasn’t exactly his idea of a good date, though, so he just motioned her toward the door and said, "Shall we?"

As she walked past him impulse took over and he put one hand on the small of her back as the , his hand on her body, that he grew even harder Impossible – she made his body defy the laws of physics This was alreadythan he had ever expected

Even if this dinner was going to cost him half of an entire paycheck, he did not care He was not really relying on his paycheck anyhow these days, he rehteen o, a surprise that he and Mike still tried to assi about Jill, he told himself None of that should enter into the calculation of the eht is about Laura

As they were led to their table in a solden Buddha lit up in the corner and a s at its feet, all he could do was stare at her feet, trying to to figure out how not to sound like another one of those guys as desperate enough to go on an online dating site and find somebody to fuck

Neither one of theuy, he would take the lead That’s hoould work in bed…and then his mind went blank at the flash of a vision of his face buried between Laura’s soft thighs, and he practically threw the folded napkin in his lap to hide what he thought hed "Your profile said you’re froeles, but you moved here to the east coast Who do you work for?" Just then, the waitress interrupted as if on cue and asked them if they wanted a drink Laura ordered a sake

"Make it two," he added If she was going to go for the hard stuff, so would he Boy, this could end up being adate than he ever expected

She felt like she had lost her entire vocabulary all in the past three uy was incredible He had taken her to the hottest place in town Granted, his friend has recommended it, but who cared if that was the main reason why? Already, this date exceeded her experience on every other date

Dylan seeood first impression, and she loved his sense of humor even if it did nearly lead to her early de She had never been taken anywhere so nice Of course she could never tell hiuys who dated her took her to a restaurant that had 50 inch plas events all at once, and the ourmet item on the menu was fried mozzarella sticks
