Excerpt
“The
wheels are turning, Liv. I can see them. What are you thinking?”
“I
was trying to decide if I should invite you back to my hotel room.” Whoa! Where
did that come from?
His
eyebrows raised, registering his surprise, and his pupils dilated, indicating
he was very aroused. She licked her lips and swore she heard a low growl come
from his chest.
Oh
my God. He’s so sexy.
“Here
we are, guys,” their waitress appeared with two plates heaped with steaming
food. “Waffles and strawberries for both and then an extra plate of eggs and
bacon for you.” She set the protein-filled plate in front of Harvey. “Also, a
glass of orange juice.”
Liv
reached and took the glass from her hand. “Thank you.” She sipped the sweet
juice and stole another glance at Harvey. He met her gaze with silence.
What
was he thinking now? She’d put it out there. Did he think she was crazy? Who
sleeps with someone they’ve just met? Oh, God. He must think I just jump in bed
with anybody.
“I’m
sorry. That was really forward of me. I don’t...I just...” Now sentences
wouldn’t even form. Her cheeks were hot with embarrassment. No doubt her face
was redder than a tomato. “I’ve never done this before.”
“Done
what? Gone out with a guy for dinner or slept with him?” His mouth didn’t curve
into a smile, but his eyes twinkled with amusement. “I wouldn’t have a problem
accepting your invitation if you chose to extend it.”
Liv
took a bite of waffle, enjoying the crunch with the syrupy sweetness of the
strawberry topping. She stared at her food and continued to eat in silence. His
fork clinked against his plate too as he ate.
He
wasn’t pushing or asking. He’d merely said he would accept if she offered. No
pressure. But, what if she was terrible in bed again? What if there was
something wrong with her?
Wouldn’t
it be better to know right off the bat, instead of completely falling in love
with a man and then finding out they didn’t want her because she sucked in bed?
Her heart couldn’t take another bashing like Todd had dished out.
But,
she didn’t want Harvey to think badly of her for being willing to fall straight
into bed with him either.
She
kept chewing and staring at her food. A few minutes later her plate was empty.
She hadn’t said another word the whole time she’d been eating. Taking a deep
breath, she looked up. His plate was clean too.
He
was sitting casually in his chair, leaning back a little —watching her. He was
gorgeous. She wanted to touch him. To feel him touch her. Damn it. I don’t know
what to do.
“Can
I walk you back to your room, Liv?”
“Yes.”
The answer came before she thought about it.
He
smiled and stood, extending his hand to help her up from her chair. She took
his hand and fought the urge to shiver at his touch. He dropped some cash on
the table and led her to the door. It was everything she could do not to
plaster herself to his side on their way out of the restaurant.
