A fork filled with the sweet dessert bumped against my lips. “Take a bite, bear.”
I opened instantly and held his stare as he fed me.
“Good, right?” he asked, watching me eat.
I hummed an agreement and took the fork so I could reciprocate. “Open up, princess.”
Something inside me growled in pleasure, watching him eat as I fed him, and when the last bite was gone, the sexual tension between us was nearly unbearable. My dick pressed uncomfortably against the fly of my jeans.
“You ready to get out of here?” I asked.
He nodded.
I motioned to the server that I was ready for the bill and then handed my card over without looking when she brought it.
In my jacket pocket, my phone went off, and I quickly grabbed it so I could silence the ringer. Right after I rejected the call, the stupid thing lit up in my hand again. Eli’s name flashed on the screen.
“Who’s that?” Matthew asked, glancing at the incoming call.
“My friend Elijah.”
“He must need something.”
“He can wait,” I said, rejecting the call for the second time.
“You could have answered it,” Matthew told me.
“I know that, but I’m with you right now.”
The screen lit up for a third time. I groaned.
“Answer it.” He encouraged me.
Accepting the call, I held it up to my ear. “This better be good.”
“It’s not good. That’s why I keep calling,” Eli replied instantly. The noise in the background was loud, and his voice was muffled.
“What’s wrong?”
“One of my speakers blew, and I’m literally supposed to start playing in five.”
“Where’s your backup?” I asked.
He was silent.
I made a rude sound. “You never got it back when you loaned it out, did you?”
“You were right, okay? I never should have loaned it.”
“I take no joy in your stupidity,” I told him.
“I need a speaker, Arsen.”
I sighed. “I’m busy.”
“Too busy for a friend in need?”
“You wouldn’t be in need if you listened to me in the first place.”
