“And you would never serve a date leftovers?”
“Not a date, no.”
“Well, then yes, I accept.” And if she felt a little giddy about knowing she was having dinner with him this evening, it was probably just because she felt so safe with him.
Not that she thought Pete James knew where she was right now. He would have had to be at her home when she’d gone back today and decided to follow her over here. But at the same time, she couldn’t deny that Zeus’ presence was comforting. So, it was no surprise that she would want to extend her time with him.
Besides, she had dinner with friends pretty regularly. Eating alone every night wasn’t fun. She enjoyed some nights in, but she also liked being out and getting to hang out with people whose company she enjoyed. If she was going to be fuck buddies with someone, she should be allowed to enjoy their company out of the bedroom sometimes as well.
‘Buddies’ was right there in the description.
Buddies could have dinner together without it being a date.
“Then it’s a plan.” The little look he gave her was almost a smile.
Yasmine shoved her hand in her pocket as they kept walking. While it would feel really natural to hold hands with him right now, she didn’t do that with her friends. Usually.
The fact that she wanted to was probably just because it felt a little weird to walk for this long next to a man she was having sex with without holding his hand.
They got back to his house, and she came in for dinner, with Hope. The dog’s presence also gave her the excuse to leave afterward. Which was good because she needed to save her poor pussy from another pounding and give her body a break, but she also found herself feeling a little disappointed when she got back into Sarah’s house.
No sex.
No sexy goodbye kiss, even.
She supposed she was just going to have to get used to the disappointment of doing things differently now that she had a fuck buddy instead of a boyfriend.
Still, when her phone buzzed with a text message, and she looked down and saw it was from Zeus, she couldn’t help but smile.
Zeus
Good night, Yas.
Did she feel a little giddy when she texted him back? Maybe just a smidge. But there was nothing wrong with that. Who wanted to be with a fuck buddy who didn’t care about them at all?
Yasmine
Good night, Z.
Chapter 27
Zeus
Keeping things cool with Yasmine was not easy, but it was working. She’d wanted a goodnight kiss last night. She’d wanted a kiss when he’d knocked on Sarah’s door this morning so they could walk the dogs together. She’d wanted a kiss when the morning walk ended, and he’d returned her to Sarah’s house.
Hopefully, denying her the kiss was making her realize she wanted it.
When she was the one who texted him, to let him know when she was leaving, he couldn’t help but smile to himself.
Yas
I’m heading out.
Zeus
Okay. Do you want me to follow you home just to check things out?
Yas
