He sips his drink as his eyes dance with mischief. “Are you following me, Bennet?”
“I thought you went home.”

“And what are they?” I ask.
He turns to the bar as the waiter approaches. “Two top shelf margaritas, please.”
“Sure thing,” the waiter replies and gets to work making our drinks.
“What’s the change of plans, Nathan?” I repeat.
“Well…” His brow furrows as he sips his drink. “Obviously, I’m still here.”
“I can see that. Your stalking knows no bounds.”
“It’s a necessary evil.”
“Why?”
“I’m working on something that I can’t really talk about yet.” He shrugs as he looks over at my table of friends. He gives them a smile and wave. I glance over to see them all watching us. Oh jeez, we have an audience.
I turn my attention back to him. “Why not?” I ask.
“It’s a work in progress. I haven’t had enough time to carry out the ground work yet.”
“Which is?”
“To become completely irresistible to you.” He smirks against his glass, and his eyes dance with mischief. “Although, it shouldn’t be hard.”
I struggle to keep a straight face. “Oh, really?”
“Why? Don’t you find me irresistible?”
“Not in the least,” I reply, deadpan.
He gives me a slow, sexy smile, “Well, there you go. My point proven.”
That’s a lie. He is completely irresistible and then some.
Stop it.
“So, when do I get to hear about this plan?” I ask.
“After you introduce me to your friends.”
“You know you’re not actually invited tonight.”
“Do you want me to leave?”
I shrug. “No.”
He smiles softly. “Good, because I don’t want to go.”
