“How was the shower?”

“It would have been better if you joined me.”

“If I’d joined you, then I would be late getting ready for the girls to show.”

A second later the doorbell rang. He reluctantly released his grip on me. I put the bottle down and walked to the door. I opened to find Sanya and the rest of the book club members had arrived.

“Hey, girl! It smells good here.” Sanya passed another bottle of wine to me and took off her coat.

“Thanks. I cooked mashed potatoes, grilled salmon, tomatoes, and vegetables.”

“Sounds great. Hey, Esteban.” Sanya waved at him.

“He’s not staying.”

Esteban winked at me and kissed me on the lips. “Have fun, but not too much,” he said, smacking me lightly on the butt.

“Call me later,” I whispered, watching him leave.

“Alright, he’s gone now, so give us the real tea,” Raya joked and sat down with a glass of wine in her hand.

I ambled to the table and refilled more cups. “No tea to spill. We're dating.”

Sanya picked up a plate and filled it with food. “Seems like you're in love.”

“Sanya, we are not you and Gerald.”

“He has you all the time. We can barely get you to go out with us.”

“Here she goes... Just say you missed me,” I jested.

“Looking a little thicker, best friend.” Sanya motioned over my body.

“Happy weight.”

Sanya cackled, and all I could do was laugh. “Yeah, it’s called a good dick.”

“Come on. Let’s get started on today’s book pick.”

“I’m so excited to read Wet Heat by KeKe Renee,” Raya commented.

Days later I stepped off the elevator at Esteban’s office carrying a bag of food. I smiled at the security guards. Esteban had introduced me to some of his staff and invited me to a few work dinners. I wanted to treat him like he’d always treated me from amazing trips to elegant meals, so I decided to surprise him with lunch. I lightly tapped on his door and waited for him to call out so I could enter. His assistant motioned that it was okay. Turning the knob, I smiled at my man sitting behind the desk giving out orders. I placed the bag of food down on the desk, then went back to the door and locked it. Turning back to him, I watched his brow hike up.

“Call me back in an hour.”

I removed my trench coat and I was only wearing a short bodycon dress underneath. His eyes turned into slits. “Make that two hours.” Esteban hung up the phone, not waiting for an answer.

“Surprise.”

He licked his lips and groaned. “You're wearing the shit out of that dress.”

I picked up some napkins. “Thank you. Are you hungry?”

“Not for food.” He reached to pull me close, and I smacked his hands away.

“Food first.”

He cupped my ass again. “I wasn’t hungry for food.”
