Antony slid in after her. “I did.”
“Trying to get me in the dark corner, are you?”
He slid closer and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her to him. “Yes.” He leaned down and kissed her.
A discreet cough and footsteps announced the arrival of their server. He smiled benignly at them and ran through the specials.
“You know, I want dessert,” Lesley said, scanning the menu. “Dessert for dinner, and I think that cheesecake is calling my name.”
The server smiled. “Good choice. It’s probably the best dessert we have. Which type?”
“Chocolate and caramel sounds good.”
“And you?”
Antony nodded. “Yeah. That sounds good. Berries on mine.”
“I’ll be back in just a few minutes.”
As he walked away, Antony said, “That man is getting a damn good tip tonight.”
“I hope he’s not the only one,” Lesley said, taking a sip of her water and smiling sweetly.
Antony’s eyebrows shot up to his hairline and his mouth dropped open for a second before he snapped it shut. “Well. Hello, Lesley. Come out to play, have you?” He dragged his eyes down her body and back up. “Just the tip?”
“Never said ‘just,’ Antony.” Lesley watched as he licked his lips. Her pulse raced and food was the last thing she had on her mind.
The server approached with a small cough as a warning. He quickly put their food down and let them be.
Lesley looked at both plates. “Wanna share?”
“Of course.” Antony picked up his fork and scooped up a bit of her dessert, holding it out to her. Lesley made eye contact as she leaned in and dragged her tongue along the bottom of the fork before closing her lips around the bite and moving the fork out of her mouth. His eyes focused on her mouth.
They took turns feeding each other, kissing in between bites. Once the last bit was gone, Lesley scooped up a little chocolate on the tip of her finger and brought it up to her mouth, but Antony grabbed her hand and sucked her fingertip between his lips, swirling his tongue around the tip.
So much for teasing him, she thought. “Hey, that was mine,” she protested softly. He got a dab of caramel and smudged it on her lips before pulling her toward him. Their kiss was molten chocolate and sticky caramel and her insides quickly turned to liquid against his solid.
She tried twisting toward him, but the booth made it impossible. He had one of her arms crushed against his chest, and she’d wound her fingers in the fabric of his shirt. Her other hand moved lower, and she snaked it around his waist, finding that his shirt had come untucked in the back. Her fingers brushed against the skin there, feeling a small smattering of fine hairs just above the flat of his tailbone. His own hand had moved to the small of her back, under her sweater, and he inched it higher, pressing the pads of his fingers into the muscles on either side of her spine. When he reached her bra strap, he broke the kiss.
“We need to stop,” he whispered. He pressed his forehead to hers.
She moaned in disappointment at both the breaking of the kiss and his words.
“We need to stop before we get kicked out of here,” he said.
She nodded. “Let’s go.” If she had her way, once they got back to her place, he wouldn’t be leaving.
Antony looked down at the table and laughed. Her eyes followed his, and she joined him. The server, at some point, had left their check on the table next to a to-go box. They’d both missed it. He quickly glanced at the bill, opened his wallet, and peeled off some cash.
Lesley raised her eyebrows and gently shoved the dessert into the box.
At her look, Antony said, “Discretion is always worth extra. This guy’s a pro.”
Her cheeks turned pink as she realized the server had seen the two of them all over each other at the table.
Antony sped out of the parking lot and got onto the highway.
Lesley leaned over the console and softly kissed him just in front of his ear, grinning when he shivered.
