I can see by the look on her face that something happened in the bathroom. Her cheeks are flushed and she’s walking faster back to me.

“You okay?” I ask.

She flashes me a big grin. But she lies. “Couldn’t be better.”

I don’t ask her what happened in the ladies‘ room. Because I have a feeling she wants it left in the past. But there is a fierceness about her. A change. Like she’s just found a missing piece to her puzzle and feels powerful, strong enough, to make it to the next step without something holding her back anymore.

I take her hand. “Wanna get out of here?”

“That depends.”

“On what?”

“Are you going to feed me?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Right answer,” she says with a dazzling smile.

I give her my arm. “Then let me take you to the best food in town.

“Fat Joey,”

Eloise reads the name on the side of the food truck.

“Home to the best Italian sandwiches in New York City,” I say.

“Oh my God, that’s exactly what I want,” she says, clutching my arm as we walk up to the truck. “I’m starving.”

“Then we’ve definitely come to the right place. These sandwiches will keep you satisfied until morning.”

She cocks an eyebrow, and I cock one back, then step up to the serving window.

“Two Fat Sals,” I tell the server.

“What’s a Fat Sal?” Eloise asks.

“The best sandwich in the world, is what it is. Delicate prosciutto with lashings of smoked mozzarella, homemade ricotta spread, the plumpest sun–dried tomatoes you’ve ever seen, fresh basil, all served on a bed of peppery arugula.”

“I can’t tell you how turned on I am right now.”

“If I knew that’s what turned you on, I would’ve talked food to you a lot sooner.”

I know I’m walking a thin line but I can’t help it with Eloise. She makes me want to take risks, and unfortunately, in my line of business, that is a giant mistake.

But there is a simmering attraction buzzing just beneath the surface that neither of us can deny. Oh, we’ve been dancing around it. Hell, I’ve been in flat–out denial. But tonight, all those walls are slowly crumbling around us.

And I should be doing everything I can to stop it. Because this is only going to end in heartbreak.

Yet, here I am, taking her to one of my favorite places in the city to eat. Where can I blend in with other diners? Although, right now, blending in is the last thing we’re doing in our attire.

I hand Eloise her sandwich, and we walk over to the water’s edge. I watch her take a bite and see her eyes roll back in pleasure. My body buzzes in response. What I would give to be the one to make her eyes roll back like that.

Then she starts moaning as she takes another mouthful, and fuck, I feel those moans right along the length of my cock.

I clear my throat. Trying to vanquish thoughts of what I could do to make her moan that way.

“Good?”

“You’re right, these are the best sandwiches,” she says around a mouthful.

“How did you even find this place? You’re always at work and if you’re not, you’re at home,” she asked.

“Well, I found this place on one of those nights that I was coming back from work, I felt like eating something greesy and I found this place.”

“So is this where you take all your dates?” she asks. “Or am I special?” I’m sure she was teasing me right now and I decided to play along with her.

You’re special.

I agree before I can shove the thought away.

“I don’t date,” I say instead.

“Oh, that’s right.” She takes another bite, and a dollop of ricotta sits on her lips, and I almost groan because of the ache I feel to lick it off.

The reckless part of me is tempted. To say to hell with it, and take this one moment in a sea of moments, and just kiss her again.

I kissed her earlier to prove a point to her nasty friends. I didn’t do it to show them Eloise was better than them, because she does that naturally; no, I just wanted to piss them off because of the way they treated her.

Now, if I kiss her, it would be because I want her to be mine for the night, and I can’t do that to her. I still had to hold on a bit.

Every moment for the next fifteen is torture, her moans and licking lips going straight to my groin. I’m almost relieved when we have both finished our sandwiches.

She’s quiet on the drive home.

I park the Audi in the parking garage and ride the elevator with her to the palace But at the door, I stop.

“This is where I have to tell you good night.”

She looks surprised. “Why? Why don’t you want to come in?” she asked

The

way she says it tells me she wants me to come in for more than a nightcap.

And fuck, I want to do that more than I want to breathe.

But tonight, I saw her shed her vulnerability, and I don’t want to be responsible for taking that away from her when she finds out I’m not the nice guy she thinks I am.

She takes my hand. “I had a great time tonight, and I’m not ready for it to end. I’d really like you to come inside and spend the rest of it with me.”

Jesus.

I am so fucking tempted.

But I won’t do that to her.

No matter how hard it is to say no.

In a surge of unexpected emotion, I’m hijacked by a need to unburden my soul and come clean. To let her know why she really doesn’t want me to come inside. “Eloise, there’s something you need to know-”

She puts her finger across my lips and looks up at me with big eyes. “Stop talking.”

She kisses me and I can’t fight her sweet lips. She’s so soft and delicious, and I’m barely hanging on by a fucking thread.

And thank God for small mercies because my phone rings, forcing me to bring the kiss to an end.

I should ignore it, but I don’t, because it’s the only thing standing between me and kissing her all the way to the bedroom and ripping that gown from her body and spending the night worshipping those luscious curves.

I answer my phone, and my assistant begins updating me on what I wanted to go and attend to. If he wasn’t saving me from making a grave mistake, I would be pissed.

I hang up and return my focus to Eloise.

“It’s probably a good thing,” she says, her eyes sparkling. “I had a great night tonight, Damon. Thank you for my Cinderella moment.” she was locking up, I could tell.

“You’re welcome, but I should go. It’s work, I might be back tonight or not.” I informed her and she nodded.

There is so much I want to say to her in this moment.

I fucked up.

You should run as far as you can from me.

But I say none of it. Instead, I brush a kiss to her soft cheek.

“Good night, Mama.”

And using all my strength, I walk away.
