“What time are you meeting Raven?”
“Nine.”
“I’ll see you at eight forty.”
“Hayes…”
“Or is eight-thirty better?”
She clamped her mouth shut. Already she’d learned that arguing with this Dominant was futile. “I’ll meet you outside at eight-thirty. If you change your mind—”
“I won’t.” He pulled out his phone. “Give me your number in case I’m running early.”
After she had, her phone rang. Of course he’d verify she’d given him the correct information.
He pressed a key to end the call, then repocketed the device.
When he crossed to the door, she followed.
“You need a sprig of mistletoe hanging here.” He turned the lock, then paused to look at her again. “Abigail?”
In response, she tipped her head to one side.
“Think of me.”
How could she not?
Without another word, he was gone.
For strength, she leaned against the nearby wall. Surrendering to his kisses had been a horrible mistake. Now she wanted so much more.
CHAPTERFOUR
Hayes McCall, the starring hero of the sexy dreams that had teased Abigail all night long, was leaning against the fender of his SUV, arms folded, sunglasses in place, looking sexier than anyone had a right to.
Since she had to work hard this morning, she’d dressed in comfortable clothing. He, on the other hand, radiated power and confidence in a suit coat and slacks. The billionaire and schoolteacher. Such an odd combination. “You’re early.” She’d walked out the door at eight twenty-five.
“Always.” He opened the car door for her. “Wondered if you wanted to grab a coffee on the way in.”
Her dreams about him had been fantastical, and in real life, he was even more amazing. “I’d love an eggnog latte.”
“Something else I’ve never tried.” He rounded the hood to slide into the driver’s seat. “Does it have caffeine?”
“We can order them with extra shots of espresso.”
“Then I’m in.” He handed her his phone. “Want to order on the app?”
She took a minute to familiarize herself with the layout of the high-tech device, and she had to admit to loving the feel of the glass and sleek metal. Even if the price tag wasn’t out of reach, she wasn’t sure she could ever justify paying three times the amount that her serviceable phone cost.
After she completed the purchase, he drove to the nearest location and told her to sit tight while he went inside to grab their order.
When they were on the road again, he waited for a stoplight to lift his cup. “Here’s to another culinary adventure with you.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“I don’t know if all that spice burned my taste buds off or not.”
She turned in her seat to watch as he took a sip. “What do you think?”
