“Do you speak?” he asks with a raised brow.

Dipping my head, I smile wider. “Yes, I speak.”

“Ah… there she is.”

“I’m Stella.” I blurt, using my real name and surprising myself.

He returns a relaxed smile. “Dane.”

“Dane,” I repeat.

“Forgive me for being so forward, but why is a beautiful woman like you eating alone, Stella?”

“Because sometimes I need a night by myself.”

“Do you want me to leave?” he asks.

Do I? I’m not sure. I wasn’t expecting this tonight. I wasn’t expecting to meet someone new.

“No,” I answer honestly. “I don’t want to be alone.”

“Do you want to leave with me right now?”

Nodding my head, I whisper, “Yes.”

Dane pays both our bills, never taking his eyes off of me, and after he tucks his credit card away in his wallet, he takes my hand in his, pulling me to stand with him.

His other hand slides around my waist as his lips find my ear again. “Are you sure you want this, Stella?”

Turning my head to look at him, we’re so close I can feel his warm breath fan across my lips. His eyes drop to my mouth and then back up to my eyes. Desire pools between my legs as I stand there in his arms.

“I want this.”

He guides me out of the restaurant and to his car—a sleek, black, expensive-looking car. I get inside, abandoning my own car and things inside to follow this man to wherever he’s about to take me.

As he pulls out of the parking lot, he takes my hand in his again, lifting it to his lips to kiss it. “Don’t be nervous.”

A breathy laugh falls from me. “Easier said than done.”

We drive in silence until we reach a huge mansion-like house. “Where are we?”

Looking at me with a devilish grin, he says, “My home.”

My heart hammers inside my chest as I get out of his car to follow him inside, my eyes scanning all around the huge home. “This is yours?” I ask again to make sure I heard right.

He nods. “Does that upset you?” he asks with a tilt of his head.

Looking back at him, I answer honestly. “It should, but it doesn’t right now.”

Moving to stand in front of me, his hand sinks into my hair, cupping the back of my head. His eyes search mine, waiting for me to freak out or something, but I don’t. I trust him. “Kiss me.”

His lips meet mine in a searing kiss. It’s new and different from any other kiss we’ve shared before. And I like it. A lot.

Humming into our kiss, he pulls me closer, our bodies rubbing together in the best ways.

Needing to feel more of him, I start to unbutton his shirt, pushing it from his shoulders. He pulls the tie on the side of my wrap dress, the material falling open. He groans when he pushes it down my arms, seeing me in only my bra and panties.

The look he gives me is primal. Like he’s seeing me for the first time. He licks his lips as he removes his shirt the rest of the way. “You are more beautiful than anything I could have imagined. All of this is for you,” he says, gesturing to the massive foyer around us. “I hope you like it.”
