It was primal and a bit too edgy for me, but being near him left me wanting to be whatever he needed me to be.
"Let's go." I moved back and pulled at his hand.
"Yeah. We'll get your car later. I brought a driver in case we had too much to drink." He pulled out his phone and texted someone as I held onto his hand, biding my time and maintaining my patience. "You sure about this?"
"Ask me again and I might change my mind." I lifted my eyebrow, loving more than anything the smirk that played on his sexy mouth.
"It won't happen again." He moved toward the exit, tucking me by his side with his tight grip on my hand. A good-looking guy with a fitted, slate-gray suit and bald head moved into our path.
I stopped short, not sure who the guy was, but having no doubt that it had something to do with the fact that we needed to pay the bill.
"You heading out, East?" The guy’s tight features relaxed into a warm smile, and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.
"Yeah. Dinner was incredible. We'll have a write up for you soon, buddy." He glanced back at me and winked. "Viv, this is a good friend of mine, Jared Jasper."
"Nice to meet you. I love your restaurant." I smiled and extended my hand, shaking the guy’s hand as it engulfed mine.
"Pleasure's all mine. We've all been waiting for the day when old East here was nervous over a girl. I'm waiting until I get off tonight to call all our old friends and tell them to mark their calendars." He released me as warmth swam up my chest and left me flushed.
"Really, man? You gotta tell her that I was nervous? What kind of friend are you anyway?" Easton chuckled and pulled on my hand a little, forcing me to move up to his side. "She's gorgeous, isn't she?"
He glanced back at me as I swatted at him. "Stop. You're embarrassing me."
"She is." Jared winked at me. "You're beautiful, but don't tell my wife I said that shit. She'll cut both you and me."
I laughed and shook my head. "Never in a million years."
"Good woman." He reached out and patted Easton's shoulder. "Alright. You kids have fun and be safe. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"That leaves a lot of doors open," Easton muttered as we walked to the front door and out into the chilly night's air.
"I like him, and I adore the restaurant. This was the one my dad loved.
" I moved to get into the back of the dark, sleek car that pulled up.
Easton got in beside me and turned, smiling devilishly at me as he licked his lips.
"I'm glad. It's one of my favorites. Jared and his family are great people. We'll go again sometime soon if you want." He pressed a button beside him and the window between us and the driver rolled up, the darkened glass leaving only the moonlight to fill the backseat.
"Why do I feel like I'm playing Little Red Riding Hood and you're the Big Bad Wolf?" I smirked and slid my hand along his smooth face before pulling him toward me.
"Because you know that I haven't stopped thinking about eating you up since we met?" He licked at my mouth before pressing a deep probing kiss. His words blistered my insides and caused my heart to race.
I pulled back and sucked in a quick drink of air. "How long do we have?"
"Fifteen minutes. I live downtown." He moved as if he was going to shift to the floor, but I pulled him back up.
"No. It's my turn." I shifted to my knees before he could say anything and pressed my fingers to his lips. "No words, just grunts and groans."
He smiled behind my fingers and nipped at them. "I would tell you not to have me fall in love with you, but I'm already knee deep in what could be."
"Hush." I slid my hands down his chest and wiggled my way between his thighs, leaning over and brushing my breasts over the thick swell of his erection as I worked on his expensive belt. He watched me intensely, which only egged me on to make my time on my knees good for both of us.
Running one hand down his shaft, I used the other to undo the button of his pants. I moved up and took the zipper between my teeth, tugging it down in one slow motion before using my nose to part his fly.
"Damn, Viv. I'm gonna cum just watching you, baby." He reached down and ran his hands over my shoulders as his chest rose and fell succinctly.
"Not yet." I reached up and tugged his pants down, making sure to bring his underwear with me. He lifted up as I jerked them over the curve of his ass and left them sitting idle mid-thigh. His cock twitched as I leaned down and brushed my nose up his length.
