She shrugged, as if it was no big deal.
Montez glanced at her empty plate. The night was winding down. “What are you doing when you get out of here?”
She dabbed the corners of her mouth. “Probably go home. What about you?”
“Same. Of course, we could go home together.”
She laughed as if she had a private joke. “Could we now?”
“Just a suggestion.” Montez shrugged.
Women usually knew before a date ended if they were going to sleep with you or not, and he’d give anything to know what her thoughts were. As for him, he wanted her badly. The entire night he’d watched her eyes brighten with amusement and her full lips curl up with laughter. He wanted to know what those lips tasted like and what they felt like on his skin. He liked talking to her too—finding out what they had in common and listening to her take on different issues. The largest sex organ is the brain, and this woman was stimulating the hell out of his.
She pushed her now empty plate to the side of the table and glanced at her watch. “It’s pretty late already, and I have a work meeting tomorrow morning at nine.”
“It’s Saturday,” he said in disbelief.
“That’s life when you work for someone else and not your family business,” she teased.
Montez decided to cut to the chase before she slipped away. “Can I be honest? You’re a very sexy woman, and all night I’ve been thinking about what I’d like to do to you. How about we head over to my place right now? I promise to get you home well before nine so you can make your meeting.”
“You’re probably not a serial killer, but I’m not going to your place alone, and I’m not taking you to my apartment.”
He laughed. “Understood. There’s a hotel less than a mile away, where there are witnesses and cameras.”
“You know the area really well.”
“I know a lot of things.”
“Do you now?”
“Yes.” He leaned across the table and made direct eye contact, which had worked for him many times over the years. “For instance, I know dozens of ways to make a woman scream.”
They both laughed.
Desiree bit her lip and slightly narrowed her eyes. “That’s quite a declaration,” she said, sounding a little breathless.
“It’s true though.”
“You don’t waste time.”
“Why waste time when we both know what we want? In the morning, I’ll take you to a nice breakfast spot that has the best pancakes.”
“And where is that?” Desiree asked.
He got the impression she was stalling, maybe trying to decide if she wanted to take him up on his offer or not. He wouldn’t push. He wanted her to make the decision with a clear mind so there’d be no regrets.
“Pancake Shack.”
She arched an eyebrow. “Pancake Shack? That sounds sketchy.”
“They have great food.”
“Well… based on your other recommendations tonight, I trust you on that.”
The server came to the table. “How was everything?” she asked with a bright smile.
“Delicious,” they both said at the same time.
