Page 18 of XOXO

“Please Delani. I have feelings for you I never thought I could feel for another person, and I want to be with you. I am sorry it’s got to be here for this tasting, and if it’s the venue, I mean, I swear I will make it up to you—”

“Oh no! Sonny, that isn’t it. I think this place is great. I’m just surprised you asked me,” I replied, biting my lower lip.

“Surprised? Why?” he asked, tipping my face up with his forefinger on my chin so I had to look at him when I answered.

“It’s just, well, I haven’t had a date for Valentine’s Day in a really long time,” I confessed, my cheeks blazing with embarrassment.

Sonny stayed silent for a moment. Then, his face broke out in a wide, panty-melting grin.

“I promise to make this a Valentine’s you won’t forget, Delani Whitman. Just say yes.”

I already knew my answer. I didn’t have to think about it. Without hesitation, I launched myself at him, trusting Sonny to catch me. And he did. Hell yes, he did. Maybe this man really was special. Maybe we were as good together as he said we were. It was early days yet, but I was willing to give it a try. To give us a try.

“Yes, Sonny. I will be your date for Valentine’s Day, but on one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“You let me help for the tasting,” I said, my own mind churning with a dozen ideas on how to add the right touches to his very important event.

“Del, you don’t have to—”

“I know that. That’s why I want to. What do you say?”

He pulled me into his hard body, and I wrapped my hands around his neck, watching that smile I was starting to really, really like tug at the corner of his lips.

“To you, baby, my answer is always yes. Come here and kiss me, Del.”

So, I did. I kissed my sexy as hell neighbor, mind spinning with emotions, but the one that was the easiest to identify was joy.

Sonny was responsible for that. And I could only hope I made him happy as well. The rumbling growl coming from his throat as he spread biting kisses along my neck told me I did. Looked like I was getting everything I always wanted. Business was good. My neighbor problems handled. And I had Sonny.

It was gonna be a good Valentine’s Day.

The end…for Now.
