“I’m so sorry about that, Eden. I had no idea seeing us out together would cause him to react like that.”
“It’s fine, Luke, and certainly not something you have to be sorry about. Since I’ve arrived, Zander Hale has proven to be nothing but an overbearing asshole.”
We both laughed, and for the next thirty minutes, I was able to give Luke most of my attention.
“I’m going to go to the restroom before our food gets here,” I said, standing and smoothing out my top.
Getting up, I walked to the back of the restaurant and pushed open the bathroom door. It was probably the nicest bathroom I had ever been in, with the exception of anything at Empire Sevens.
Zander Hale and Kade King were extravagant if they were nothing else.
The bathroom was lavender and white, the countertops marble with everything a woman visiting the restroom would need.
I went into the first stall, and when I finished peeing, I stood at the gorgeous counter and starting washing my hands with the lavender scented hand soap.
The door opened at my side and when it did, I looked up. The smile on my face vanished when I met Zander’s eyes in the mirror.
My heart kicked hard in my chest when I asked, “What are you doing in here?”
“If you think a little thing like a sign on a door is going to keep me out, you really have no idea who you’re dealing with.”
I grabbed the towel off the sink and dried my hands as I moved to walk past him, but he slid his large fingers around my wrist and pulled back, stopping me.
“The bar back? Really? Is that the best you can do, angel?”
I tugged at my arm, but he held strong. “My name is Eden.”
His eyes crinkle with an ounce of humor that never made it to his lips.
“Maybe I should call you little devil. You have so much fire in your eyes when you’re angry.”
“If I’m angry, it’s only because you showed up on my date with Luke and made him feel like crap because he’s not loaded like you are. Not everyone has everything handed to them like you do, Zander. Some people have to really work for their money.”
His expression changed, and his fingers loosened around my wrist. I thought he was going to let me go, but before I could blink, I found myself smushed between the wall and the hardness of his body.
“You should know what you’re talking about before you open your mouth. Being wrong is a bad look for you, angel.”
He was so close, his breath hit my face in warm pants, and the urge to leaned forward and press my lips against his shocked me.
“Let me go, Zander. You shouldn’t be here, touching me like this. Not only am I your employee, but I’m also on a date.”
He laughed. “You think so? How do you know Luke didn’t get up and leave when he saw me come in here?”
My stomach twisted, and I panicked. “You let him see you come in here?”
“He’s not the kind of man you want, Eden.”
“How would you know? You don’t know me at all.”
“Oh, I know you better than you think. After last night, I think I’ve got you all figured out.”
Heat warmed my entire body, but before I could respond—not that I even knew how I was going to—the door opened and a women came in. She stopped in her tracks when she saw me and Zander.
“Oh,” she said, and here eyes went wide with shock and embarrassment. She stepped out without another word.
“Oh god,” I groaned. “Please, Zander, please just go.”
I rolled my head away from him, but I could feel the tightness in his muscles, and I knew that he didn’t want to let go. But then he turned and walked away, leaving me in the ladies’ room feeling completely off balance and almost as turned on as I was when I watched him pleasure himself with my name on his lips.
