Page 12 of Her Chocolate His Bar

“Um, well,” I began, biting my lip and gazing up at him through my lashes. “This was, um, unexpected.”

“Unexpected?” Sonny scoffed, and fuck, that touch of arrogance made him even more adorable.

“Delani, I’ve been walking around with a hard on for you since I first helped you move in. It might have been unexpected for you, but now me, Baby,” he admitted, and something inside me warmed at that.

“Really?”

“Hell, yeah. I only stayed away cause you had a man. But now that he’s out of the picture,” he said, kissing me again.

“How do you know—oh, these walls are pretty damn thin, aren’t they?” I said, guessing he’d overheard me and Jan on the phone.

I shook my head, and he just flashed me one of his patented panty-melting grins.

Really, that expression should come with a warning.

Already, I felt my pussy respond, growing hot and wet at the flash of his white teeth against his gorgeous, olive-toned skin.

“The walls are thin, but I hope you don’t think I intentionally eavesdropped. I mean, I’m not saying I haven’t gotten an earful. And I wasn’t exactly trying to not hear,” he said and shrugged.

“No, of course, I don’t think you go into your alley just to eavesdrop on me. I’m not that interesting,” I said and shook my head.

“The hell you’re not,” he said and nipped my bottom lip between his teeth, making me squeal.

I mean, I was a chocolatier, not anything interesting, like a master of espionage or an exotic dancer.

“Never say anything like that in front of me, Baby. You’re fucking perfect,” he said, and I nodded, liking him bossy.

I cleared my throat, cheeks burning as he was holding me loosely in his arms, swaying me from side to side in rhythm with the music we could hear from his bar.

Speaking of bars, the one in his underpants was growing harder where he pressed against me, and my shocked gaze met his. Sonny grinned and shrugged one shoulder.

“What do you expect? Your gorgeous ass is a temptation I don’t even want to try to resist,” he confessed. And my ovaries exploded.

He looked beautifully masculine in the darkness. There were on lights on in the front of my shop, and we sat together in a tangle on the floor—which I would definitely be cleaning and disinfecting because we sold edible items, thank you very much.

Eek! I had sex in my store. How scandalous!

Sonny stood up, pulling me with him. He danced with me slowly and I clung to his tattoo-covered body so as not to trip, and really, well, just because I liked the feel of his many muscles.

He was so freaking hot I damn near swooned.

“Will you have dinner with me tomorrow?” he asked, and I bit my lower lip before responding.

“Are you sure?” I asked, not wanting to appear clingy.

“Wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t sure,” he said matter-of-factly.

“Alright, then, yes. I would love to have dinner with you.”

“Good. I look forward to that.”

“It will have to be a little later. You see, I’ve, um, recently lost some of my working time,” I teased.

“I see, and is business booming, then?”

“Oh yeah. It’s great,” I told him honestly.

“That’s good,” he smiled.
