“I’m sure it's delicious,” I said, giving my bottle of champagne to Vincent.
Noemi and I took off our jackets as Vincent took them, ushering us to the big island with someone cooking in the kitchen. The man turned around with a big smile. He was also an enormous man. I was six feet tall, but this guy had at least six inches on me with really broad shoulders. He looked like he could be a football player.
“Hey, y’all,” he said, with a thick southern accent, coming around the island holding his hand out to Noemi. “Name’s Luke.”
“Noemi.” She put her hand in his and he brought her hand to his lips.
“Pleasure to meet you, beautiful.” His twang was sexy as he held his hand out to me.
“Easton,” I said, shaking his hand, realizing this man had huge hands too. Maybe he was a wide receiver. They had big hands, right?
“Sweet baby Jesus, Vincent, you sure know how to pick ‘em.” Luke winked at us before heading back to the kitchen. “Give me a minute and I’ll bring you a cocktail and put the champagne to chill.”
“We can sit in the living room while we wait,” Vincent said with a smile.
Noemi walked in front of us, her body suit complimenting and accentuating her delectable curves. The sunset was perfect as I made my way to the window.
“This is a superb view,” I said, looking out to the mountains.
“It used to be even better, except that high-rise was built.” Vincent’s annoyance bled through his tone.
“Oh, the troubles of being rich,” Noemi teased.
“I mean, what else am I going to complain about?” he replied with a chuckle.
“I wish I only had views to complain about,” Noemi laughed, but it didn’t sound genuine.
“Not all of us can be rich daddies,” I grinned, looking over my shoulder.
Noemi gave me a real laugh.
“Keep it up and I’ll show you how much of a daddy I can be with you begging me to come,” Vincent clipped, and just like that the room felt like it was a hundred degrees.
The sexual tension between us was thick as we all looked at each other.
“I just have to finish your entree and I’ll leave before I see something that might make me want to join,” Luke interrupted, setting drinks on the table.
Noemi laughed while Vincent and I looked at Luke wondering if he was serious.
“Here is a Sidecar and a little appetizer to hold you over,” he said, walking away to get the appetizer.
“I was also kidding about joining in. Vincent would spank my ass and leave me in denial for weeks and I would very much like to go home to my wife.”
I chuckled at his candidness.
“Luke, you're amazing,” Noemi said, taking a sip of her cocktail. “Are you a private chef?”
“Oh, god no. I’m only doing this because Vincent did me a solid a few weeks ago and he’s cashing in,” he said with a huge smile on his face. “I cook in my free time, and do meal prep for a few athletes. I’m a retired wide receiver and well, I need something to do with myself.”
“Oh, that’s amazing,” Noemi said, grabbing an appetizer.
“You have about fifteen minutes before I bring out the salads,” Luke smiled at us before leaving back to the kitchen.
“Oh my god, these are so amazing,” Noemi groaned. “It’s like a mini taco!”
I took a sip of my drink enjoying the bourbon, looking at Vincent to see if he was going to talk about the contract now or later. He looked amused with her enthusiasm for food, but I could see his hunger for her.
“Since we have some time, let's discuss what I brought you here for.” Vincent took a long sip of his drink.
