She takes a bite, chews slowly, swallows. "You shouldn't watch me eat. I'll get self-conscious."
"What if you watch me eat in exchange?"
Her cheeks flush. "Oh. Well. I'm planning on making you watch first."
Fuck.
"Like Mal said." She smiles. "As long as you're game."
I barely manage to nod. I barely manage to think. Period.
She's going to tie me up and make me watch her touch herself.
I'm not exactly into bondage. I don't object to tying a woman up if that's her thing.
But I never let anyone tie me up.
I've never trusted anyone enough.
But then I'd never gone bareback before either.
I take a bite of my sandwich to buy my thoughts time to form. The tomatoes are firm. The avocado is ripe. The bacon is crisp. But this does nothing to satisfy me.
Food isn't what I want right now, no matter how much my stomach is growling.
I eat half the thing anyway.
"You're tongue tied." She laughs. "I like it."
I nod.
"We were talking about your parents."
"Who?"
Her laugh is louder this time. "About your dad and mom being different."
All right. She wants to have this talk. I need to divert my thoughts to something besides Bella stroking herself to orgasm if I want to get out of this restaurant without getting the two of us arrested.
I look her in the eyes. "Just after my mom went back to work, she tried to get me to sign up for soccer. I said no. I hate running. Still do."
She raises a brow. "Then how are you so…" Her eyes go to my shoulders, my chest, my hips. Then she's running her fingers over my skin. "You're very fit."
"It's mostly weights and the machines at hotel gyms. I have to keep up with shit if I want to keep my stamina up."
"For drumming."
I stare at her the way she's staring at me. Damn, that dress is tight on her tits. And it's cut low enough to show off the lace strap of her bra. "Amongst other things."
She blushes. "Now, you're distracting me."
I nod. "You really like that I'm built?"
"I'm sure you get that a lot."
"I'm sure a lot of guys like your tits. Doesn't mean you don't appreciate how much I love them."
That gets her blush spreading to her chest. Her nipples harden enough to make an impression in her dress.
