“Maybe.”

“Do it then.” She leans back in her chair, uncrossing her legs and spreading her thighs just a little.

We stare at each other, locked in a battle of wits.

Finally, I look back at my menu, deciding we will need sustenance for what I’m planning for the evening.

A few minutes later, we each order and are back, focusing entirely on each other.

She takes a sip of the drink the waiter just brought her and says, “So, I heard from a little birdie today that you are a pretty good boss.”

Her comment completely catches me off guard. Playing coy, I say, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Mm-hmm. I heard how you take an interest in the employees of this lovely casino of yours.”

“Remind me to fire Jill.”

Her eyes get big. “Mr. Delgado, was that a joke? Did you actually make a joke?”

“Kitten, I do occasionally have a sense of humor.”

She gives me a warm smile, and it’s gorgeous. “That’s good to know.”

As much fun as we’re having, I feel like I need to clear something up. “Katarina, I treat my employees well because that’s what makes my business run better. I don’t want you to get the idea that I’m a good man. I’m not.”

“You’ve said that before,” she reminds me.

“And I’ll keep saying it until it sinks in. I don’t do things because I’m a nice man. I do them because I’ll get some sort of reward out of it hence why I opted to have you in my bed for the week instead of just giving you the money. You want to know why Jill thinks I’m nice? You want to know why I helped her out with her dog? Because I fucked her. I fucked her on the counter of the store she works at. And I paid for her dog’s operation, so she wouldn’t go blabbing it to everyone else.”

She opens her mouth as though she wants to protest but thinks better of it, snapping it shut.

Good girl.

A strange awkwardness falls between us for a few minutes. I didn’t mean to push her away, but I just don’t want her thinking I’m something that I’m not.

Trying to break the newly-formed tension, I say, “That dress looks wonderful on you. Better than I imagined all day.”

That seems to pique her interest. “You thought about me today?”

“Kitten, since you first walked into my casino, I almost constantly think about you.”

There’s that smile again. “What did you think about today?”

The waiter walks by, so I lean in to speak in a low tone. The man is staring at my date enough without him hearing what I’m about to say.

“I thought about you…in that dress. And how I was going to enjoy taking it off later.”

She looks down at the sparkly black material. “I’m surprised at how well it fits.”

“A little too well,” I mutter. “My question is, what type of underwear can you wear under that tiny dress?”

“Oh, no underwear.”

I choke on the sip of bourbon I just took. “Excuse me? Kitten, you’re telling me that there’s a chance anyone could get a glimpse of your pussy?”

“I mean, only if I spread my legs…like this.” She leans back slightly and opens her thighs.

I’m positive the white tablecloth obstructs everyone’s view, but there’s no way in hell I’m willing to take that risk.
