Oh. My. God!

“What about our honest business relationship.”

“Screw it. Who gives a damn? You’re right here and that’s all I need.”

I lean down and grab my wine glass. After a second, he does the same. I clink my glass against his.

“To the very, very near future.”

Savannah

The party's dim lights fade behind us as we step off the yacht’s stairs onto the dock. The cool night air brushes against my skin. Cole wraps his arm around me tightly and takes his phone out, tapping on the screen. "I'll call us a taxi, Savannah. I know somewhere that we can go for the night."

"Thanks," I say, feeling my cheeks flush from the alcohol. I'm grateful he offered, because I don't want to be this tipsy around my family. They'd never let me live it down.

"Your family's not gonna mind you staying with me?" Cole asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Trust me, they've seen worse," I laugh, thinking of all the embarrassing moments I've had in front of them. My mind wanders, imagining how nice it would be to spend the night with Cole instead.

The taxi arrives, and we climb into the backseat. As we settle in, Cole's hand lands on my knee, sending a shiver up my spine. His fingers trace the edge of my sapphire satin dress, and he looks at me with a mischievous grin. "You know, this dress is quite short, isn't it?"

"Isn't that the point of a party dress?" I retort playfully, trying to ignore the heat radiating from his touch.

"True," he says, chuckling. "But I think everyone at the party was having a hard time keeping their eyes off you. Can't say I blame them, though."

"Is that so?" I tease, leaning closer to him. Our faces are inches apart, and I can feel his breath on my lips. "Maybe it wasn't just the dress."

Cole's eyes linger on mine for a moment before glancing away with a smile. "Maybe not."

As our conversation continues, I can't help but marvel at the contrast between his practical, logical nature and the flirtatious, carefree side he's showing me now. I wonder if this is the real Cole, or just a temporary escape from the everyday grand for him.

The taxi carries us through the night, and I find myself growing more and more excited about the prospect of spending time alone with Cole. It's thrilling to think that we're stepping out of our usual roles, even if it's just for one night.

"Almost there," Cole says softly, giving my knee a gentle squeeze. The anticipation builds in my chest, making my heart race.

"Good," I whisper back, allowing myself to indulge in the possibilities of what might happen between us.

I’ve wanted Cole to take me to his bed for so long. I have waited for this moment, hoped it would come about eventually. Now that it’s finally happening, I’m in shock.

I’m on the edge of a morass and clinging to Cole for dear life. But he wants to pull me down… and I just might let him.

The night air fills the taxi, cool and refreshing against my warm skin. The tension between us is palpable, and I can't help but bite my lip as he slides his hand up my thigh, inching closer to the hem of my dress.

"Careful," I whisper, trying to keep my voice steady. "We wouldn't want anyone to find out about this little adventure."

"Of course not," he replies, pressing his fingers against the damp fabric of my panties. He begins to rub my clit gently, driving me wild with desire. "Especially not our cab driver."

I turn my head to try and kiss him, but he leans away, whispering into my ear, "No one can know, Savannah. Not a soul."

His words send shivers down my spine, and I nod in agreement, struggling to contain the moans threatening to escape my lips. As he continues to tease me, I grip the edge of the seat, desperately holding onto some semblance of control.

"God, you're so sexy when you're frustrated like this," he murmurs, his breath hot against my neck. "But remember, no noise. We have to keep this our little secret."

I swallow hard, my pulse racing as the pleasure builds. The ache between my legs becomes almost unbearable, and I can barely focus on anything else.

"Almost there," Cole says, his voice low and seductive. He removes his hand from my panties, leaving me aching for more.
