I’m excited about tonight. I’m never excited about dinner, but the fact I’m taking her back to where it all began has me wanting to please her even more.

It’s going to be that much sweeter if we drag it out. Not that my cock doesn’t want her; it’s been weeping since she arrived at work this morning. I can’t even imagine what she must be thinking after flirting with me all day.

We went to the store and Doris dutifully showed her around. The woman didn’t leave our side, not even for a second. She’s taken a real shine to Imogen, and I take that as a good sign.

I know we could’ve fucked last night in the limo, she was up for it. And so was I.

Why I didn’t, I’ll never know, but I plan on making up for it.

If I thought I could behave myself around her, I was under some kind of disillusion.

Now I know why I never broke my cardinal rule before; it was always gonna be too hard to stop.

It’s a dangerous game I’m playing, dragging her into my world. I know I have a stony heart. That it can’t be repaired, but Imogen has been turning my head in a different way than any other woman has since…

I shake myself out of my reverie.

Why the fuck would I bring that up now?

Except I know why. Self-sabotage. We’re old friends.

Plus, I’ve always been hard on myself.

Not that being hit by a drunk driver was my fault, but that doesn’t make the pain of losing my fiancé and our baby any less painful. Fifteen years. How the fuck does so much time pass?

I’ve never looked at another woman like I did Nina.

Undoubtedly, I’ve looked at other women, but it’s not the same when you’re in love with someone. I always thought my heart would be cold and bitter forever, but it’s started to thaw out ever since… my little Krasavitsa.

On rare occasions, you meet someone you just click with. It’s how I’ve felt about most of the important relationships I’ve formed, mainly working ones, but nonetheless the principals are the same.

It’s a feeling. You can’t explain it, but I call it gut instinct. My gut has never let me down.

Well, it did once, that night when we drove to dinner and Nina wanted to stay in. Me, being the arrogant bastard I am, I wanted to be out on the town. Showing off my beautiful soon-to-be wife.

I close my eyes at the terrible night that changed my world forever.

I’ll never forgive myself.It was my job to protect them.

Even though I’m known as a playboy in New York, deep down I’ve never been interested in playing the field forever. I always wanted a family. I always imagined coming home from work, with my wife waiting at home and a couple of kids and maybe a dog there to greet me after a long day at the office.

I shake my head. I haven’t thought about that vision for a long, long time.

I don’t know why I’m thinking of it now.

A text message alerts me back to the here and now.

I glance down and a smile spreads across my face.

Krasavitsa

That’s completely inappropriate

Me

If you don’t answer. I’ll have to summon you to my office. Being reprimanded on the first day isn’t a good look

Krasavitsa
