“Maybe, b—”
“What’d you get?” His eyes move to my chest It’s covered by my jacket “Did you spend it all?”
“You want to know if I bought so for my boobs?”

Alex huain
It doesn’t take long to reach our destination, which is a good thing because discussing lingerie purchases makes me nervous about what could happen later Alex turns into the parking lot of a swanky restaurant and pulls into a spot near the door “If you did happen to buy soht”
“You don’t want to see it?”
He caresses my nape with his thumb “I didn’t say that I don’t have any expectations beyond dinner I realize the gift card may make it come across like I do”
This is why I like him Well, one of the reasons I lean in Alex mirrors the movement until our lips are less than an inch apart
“What are you waiting for?”
He bridges the gap I’m not interested in chaste kisses I have to sit across fro dinner We could be in the restaurant for hours It doesn’t look like the kind of place where we can sneak into the bathroo it as an option Since sex isn’t an expectation, I suddenly want it to be I grab the front of his jacket and strain to get closer Maybe this is how reverse psychology is supposed to work
With a low groan, he releasesto be late for our reservation if we keep it up er”
He goes in for one last kiss I’oes well, we can always pick up where we left off
Alex is very entleman He opens doors and helps me out of eous I love this dress”
It’s red and clingy with a low neckline Charlene made me buy it last summer I never had a reason to wear it until now
Alex takes off his jacket He looks sophisticated and sexy in his black button-down dress shirt and charcoal gray pants His tie matches my dress Almost like we planned it
The hostess takes us to a private table in a suests Alex passes me the wine list once we’re seated
“There aren’t any prices,” I whisper after the waiter fills our water glasses
