You're The One (Very Irresistible Bachelors 1)

I bit my lip. “One email?”

“I swear I’m going to take you in my arms and carry you out for the entire office to see.”

“You’re extra broody today.”

“Thought you’d need the incentive.”

“When is the reservation?”

“An hour.”

“But that gives me no time to go home and get my ass out of this suit.”

“Josie, if you get your ass out, we’re gonna starve.”

“I meant to change, you perv.”

“And I just gave you an insight into what I plan to do. What can I say? I’m weak for you.”

I closed my laptop and smoothed my hands down my skirt. “Okay. Where are we going?”

“The Lightning.”

“Oooh... my favorite. Wait, are you trying to bribe me into something again?”

“No, I’m not.”

He didn’t meet my eye as he said it. What was he up to?

I’d lied. Sort of. Bribing wasn’t what I had in mind, but it hadn’t been a coincidence that I’d booked a table at her favorite restaurant.

The second we were out of the building, her body language relaxed.

“You’re always so tense when you’re inside.”

“This building just has bad vibes. Everyone inside is so permanently stressed out.”

“You could work from home more often,” I suggested.

“Nah, I need people around me.”

“I could work from home on the same days. Keep you company. Clothing optional.”

She giggled. “Surefire way to make sure I get nothing done.”

“You’re saying I’m irresistible?”

“You know you are.”

I was counting on it. We ordered duck breast and red wine. She sipped from her glass, relaxing in the chair.

It was so easy to make her happy. I wanted to keep her smiling like this. I wanted to be the only one with the right to put that smile there.

“Two months?” she said happily. “Can’t believe this. Mom always told me that it took her three weeks of dating Dad to realize he had all the qualities of her ideal man.”
