“You’re right, I amyours.” He places a soft kiss on my cheek before gesturing for me to slide into the booth at a table in the back of the restaurant.
As I lower my body into the seat, I say, “How did your meeting go?”
“It went well. We will be formally signing the paperwork in a few days, but the deal is done.” He slides in beside me, wrapping an arm around me and pulling me closer to him.
“That’s fabulous news. Not surprising in the least. I knew you’d get it.” His head turns to mine, and I can’t resist him any longer. My lips press against his, the feeling of being home sweeping through my body and lighting up my nerves every time we kiss.
Slowly pulling away, I’m breathless as I stare into his mesmerizing ice-blue eyes. It’s surreal that everything I’ve ever wanted is happening.
For the first time in my life, I don’t have to worry about my enemy trying to kill us.
Nothing stands between us anymore, and it's pure bliss.
As the waitress sets glasses of water on the table for us, I grab mine and take a drink, my attention moving to Savannah over the rim. She’s pressed against the wall, sitting as far away from Bryan as possible. I glance over at him and see him watching Savannah with furrowed brows. Hurt flares in his eyes as he locks his gaze with mine, then drops it to the table.
God. He thinks Savannah hates him.
Kicking her lightly beneath the table, she looks up at me with wide eyes. Shooting her a look, I look over at Bryan, who has picked up his menu and is intently staring at it. It’s clear to me he’s trying to disguise the hurt he’s feeling by her treating him like he has a contagious disease.
She takes the hint and stops clinging to the wall. Her posture is still tense, but it’s an improvement.
Will and Bryan start conversing about their meeting, so I grab my phone and shoot Savannah a quick text.
Me:Bryan won’t bite you. He really seems like a nice guy.
When her phone beeps, she picks it up from the table. Reading it, she glances at me with raised brows before her fingers fly over her phone.
Savannah:Hopefully he doesn’t. You can never be too careful.
Shaking my head, I stare at her text for a minute, debating what I should say back to her. I have to tread carefully so I don’t scare her. The trauma she endured is still wrapped around her like a cloak, protecting her heart.
Me:Just relax and be cordial. There’s nothing wrong with being friendly.
She reads the text, then looks up at me, a small smile pulling up her lips. The waitress returns to our table, distracting me from Savannah and Bryan. I place my order, earning a sly smile from Will. “What, love? I’m eating for three, or at least, that’s what you keep telling me.” Grabbing my water, I give him a big smile before I take a sip.
His hand moves to my thigh, squeezing gently. “It’s about time you came around to my way of thinking. I’m just happy you’re eating more.”
I nearly choke on my water. “I’ve always eaten a lot, Will. Especially after those intense training sessions.”
He leans closer, his fingers grasping my chin, a teasing smile on his full lips. “But you normally don’t order this much food. Which you should, as youareeating for three.” He kisses the tip of my nose. “Besides, I happen to love a woman with a healthy appetite.” His mouth hovers close to mine, my body temperature rising a few degrees, desperate for him to close the distance. His low, masculine voice continues, “It’s sexy as hell.”
I’m captivated by the look in his eyes, as though he wants to devour every single inch of me. And not just my body, but my heart and soul.
I lean forward slightly, my lips against his. “Sexy, huh?”
He nods. “Uh huh. Very.”
The deep timbre of his voice has me wishing I could drag him to the bathroom and drop to my knees, opening his trousers. My mouth seals over his, unable to resist him a second longer.
He pulls back slightly, the twinkle in his eyes telling me he knows exactly what I’m thinking. “Not now, love.” His hand grazes over my upper thigh, causing tingles to cover the flesh beneath my shirt. “I was thinking of making a reservation at that Italian restaurant you like so much. Wanna go shopping for a new dress this afternoon? I’ll treat Savannah to whatever she wants to buy as well.”
Excitement fills me at the possibilities of an evening alone with my sexy fiancé. “That sounds amazing. I’m in.”
He kisses me again as our waitress arrives. “Consider it done.” He pulls away far too soon for my liking, but I can’t help but smirk at the way the waitress’s smile dims from disappointment.
That’s right, bitch. He’s mine. Move along.
Giving her a syrupy smile, my voice is a high-pitched falsetto as I thank her when she sets my food in front of me. She gives me a tight, fake smile in return. Just so there are no lingering questions, my hand ducks beneath the table, dropping to Will’s thigh, lightly grazing his dick. Her eyes drop, watching my hand, before she raises her head, locking her eyes with mine.
