“Okay,” I replied, surprised by his generosity.
“The next thing on our agenda, there’s a Japanese crepe shop nearby that I’ve been dying for you to try,” Remy declared.
“For me to try?” I asked, trying to keep my composure despite barely being able to see straight.
“Yeah. I had it in Japan, then again in Taipei. When I discovered a shop just down the street, I thought, ‘you know who would love this? Dillon. Dillon would definitely love this.’ Now here you are.”
“You were sure that I would love it?” I asked, overwhelmed by his crackling charm.
“And here you are,” he repeated.
“And here I am,” I confirmed, trying to concentrate on anything but the way Remy’s shirt clung to his muscles.
Approaching the shop, I noticed a huge line snaking outside the door. Remy smirked, pulling out his phone.
“They have an app?” I observed, raising an eyebrow.
“They didn’t,” Remy confessed. “But then I tried one of their crepes, purchased the company, and then built them an app.”
I chuckled. “Yet there’s still a line.”
“The app’s still in beta. I wanted to give it rigorous testing before we released it to the public,” he explained devilishly.
“So this is your personal app to get Japanese crepes whenever you want?” I asked, my heart pounding from the intensity of his gaze.
Remy smirked. “You’ve gotta watch them make it. It’s very cool.”
As we watched the crepe batter being smoothed and flipped on a circular hot plate, I was fascinated. With it cooked, sliced bananas were placed on it and rolled. Filling it with ice cream and topping it with whipped cream, it was torched into a crème brûlée. It looked amazing! But nothing could prepare me for my first bite.
“Oh my god!” I exclaimed, my eyes fighting to leave my skull.
“Right? Best million I’ve ever spent,” Remy said with a satisfied grin.
I coughed, hearing the price. But then took another bite.
“Yeah, probably,” I agreed digging in.
Sitting at a two-top opposite the guy I had been in love with my whole life and eating the most incredible desert I’ve ever had, I was in heaven. I never wanted this moment to end. When it did and I was left dipping in and out of the pools in his eyes, I brought up the obvious.
“So, I’m here. You have me. You can do with me whatever you want. What’s my job going to be? And if you say Japanese Crepe app tester, know that I will test the crème brûlée out of that thing.”
Remy laughed. “If that’s your dream, have at it. Personally, as long as you show up every day looking gorgeous, I don’t care what you do. And, by the way, you’re doing an excellent job so far.”
I playfully rolled my eyes hiding that my suit pants had lost another round to my erection. But eventually, when I was again able to stand, we got up and walked back to the office.
“So, what does your business actually do?” I asked as the blood slowly returned to my brain.
“During the last downturn in the economy, a lot of companies were cash-strapped. I provided the capital for them to meet their expenses in exchange for a stake in the company and generous interest rates.”
“Wait, are you a loan shark?” I blurted out.
Remy burst into laughter. “When you’re rich, it’s called being a Series D investor.”
We approached the brownstone’s office door and entered. “Does the ‘D’ stand for dick? Because that’s what loan sharks are,” I quipped.
“Officially, it doesn’t. But let’s be real. Sometimes a little dick is what some people are looking for,” Remy replied, smirking.
I blushed. “I wouldn’t know anything about that.”
