Page 85 of Rekindling Desire

“Damien, you are not going to finger me in a restaurant.”

“I am.”

As she turned one way and the next, I knew she was contemplating what I’d said. She was deciding if we could do it—if it could be our secret. The way her breathing deepened and the hue of her décolletage grew a brighter pink, I had my answer.

“Admit it. You want to come, right here.”

“Damien, what if people know?”

“No one will know. Our inappropriate secret.” I leaned closer and whispered. “You started this with your gift. I know you’re not wearing panties. How did you expect me to go all evening without touching you?”

“Anticipation,” she said.

I slid my hand beneath the hem of her dress.

Ella’s eyes widened as she took the napkin in hand.

“Spread those sexy legs.”

The muscles beneath my touch relaxed as she slowly adjusted. I was almost to my goal when our wine arrived. When my gaze met Ella’s, she had the most stunning smile as a nervous giggle bubbled from her lips.

“Sir, would you like to taste the cabernet?”

One of my hands was occupied. “The lady may taste.”

“Oh,” Ella said flustered. “Okay.” She took a deep breath and laid her hands on the table.

As the waiter handed Ella a wine goblet, I moved my fingers higher.

Ella clamped her thighs together as she took the goblet, swirled the wine, and made a show of enjoying the bouquet.

“I can smell the aroma,” I said. “I’m sure it tastes as good as it smells.”

Ella’s expression told me that she knew I wasn’t talking about the wine. After a deep breath, she took a sip. “It’s very good.”

Her legs relaxed and I went higher.

It was as I brushed over her clit that Ella reached for the napkin.

“Is everything to your liking?” the waiter asked.

I turned to Ella. “Is it?”

She nodded and hummed.

I spoke to the waiter. “We’re officially engaged. She’s just excited.”

“Oh,” he said, “it is a celebration. We will bring you a special dessert after dinner.”

“Thank you.” After he left us, I leaned closer and whispered, “I’m about to have my dessert first.”

As Ella’s breathing deepened, she sat forward giving me better access.

One swipe and another.

Warmth covered my finger. “Inappropriate,” I said.

Her eyes came to me.
