Spreading my legs, I leaned harder against him—the only thing keeping me upright. Stars exploded behind my eyes when he added in a finger. My breath came out in pants as he fucked me with his fingers and sucked my clit into his mouth. “Holy hell,” I said, my orgasm building as I pushed down into him, his chuckle against me making me come undone as he steadied my hip with his other hand, holding me still as he increased his tempo. I threw my head back and screamed, my orgasm ripping through me. After I came down, I sagged against him, my legs trembling.

He leaned back, letting my dress fall back down as a goofy grin spread across his face. “Well, now that I’ve had dessert . . .” He licked my juices off the fingers that had been inside me. “. . . how about some dinner?” Harrison stood, keeping his hands on my hips once he righted himself.

Brushing my hair back from my face, I nodded. “But what about you?” I asked, not even trying to conceal it as my eyes dropped to his boner, straining against his jeans.

“Plenty of time for that later. Let’s get you some food and head to the show,” he said, grabbing my hand as we went into the hallway and I locked up.

“There goes that presumptuous attitude again.”

He chuckled. “How dare I! I even left the bag in your apartment and everything. I’ll have to come back here. There’s no choice really.”

I smirked. “Damn it. How sneaky of you.”

Harrison ran his hand down my arm, goosebumps spreading over my skin in its wake. “Baby, you have no idea.”

Chapter 14

Harrison

I laced my fingers through Kat’s, my head and tongue still buzzing with her taste. Despite intending to wait, I couldn’t resist once I saw her in that red dress. As I led her to my car, I stroked the back of her hand with my thumb.

She sighed happily. “So, what’s for dinner?”

I grinned. “I went to this restaurant that’s on the way to Milwaukee once, and it’s an entire experience.” Suddenly, I realized this place may not be new to her. She did live here after all. “Have you ever been to The Melting Pot? It’s this fondue place with multiple courses.”

She nodded as I opened the car door for her. “I have, but not for a long time. Good choice.”

My shoulders relaxed. “Well, you know, I try.” I shut her door and rounded the car, still not believing any of this was happening, and so soon. It was overwhelming. Taking a shuddering breath, I got in the car. If I let myself think about how hard and fast this hit, I’d be second-guessing everything. Kat was put in my path for a reason. She had to be. I had fallen, and she was mine. Tonight, I would fully convince her.

Before long, we arrived at the restaurant. Dim lighting and cozy booths with privacy on the sides added to the intimate ambiance as we were escorted to our table. Kat’s green eyes settled on me, the coloring almost more pronounced in the limited lighting.

She took a deep breath. “This is wonderful, Harrison. Thank you. I wasn’t really sure what to expect after I rushed out of your apartment.”

I shrugged. “That did throw me for a minute, but the phone sex helped.”

She pursed her lips.

“What is it?” I asked, reaching across the table to rest my hand on hers.

Kat shook her head. “It’s been a whirlwind. I’ve hardly had a chance to process any of this.” Even though her voice shook with uncertainty, she flipped her palm to interlace her fingers with mine.

“I get that, Kat. We’re moving pretty fast, but something about it feels right also.”

She nodded and smiled. “I’m relieved you feel that too.”

“So, why did you run away the other day?”

She sighed. “I used to date my editor, and I freaked out that I was making another mistake by sleeping with my interview subject. Neither of those things are exactly professional behavior.”

A pang of jealousy shot through me at the mention of an ex. “So why did you, then?”

Her eyes snapped back to mine. “Which part?”

“Both.”

She bit her lip, but after a deep breath, continued. “I thought Jamie loved me. He was too charming to resist, but it turned out I wasn’t the only one who thought so. I didn’t see it coming. And by the time I found out, it felt too late.” Reaching up with her free hand, Kat brushed a tear off her cheek, then glanced back to me. “And then with you. Well, the chemistry is off the charts, but our shared passion of archaeology made you irresistible . . . so much so that I was willing to risk it.”

“I can understand that. I never saw myself jumping back into a relationship . . .” I cleared my throat, not wanting to frighten her away by pushing that piece of it too fast. “Or whatever this is. I didn’t know if I’d ever be ready, but same, really. You’re not only gorgeous, but to find someone who truly understands . . . that I was not expecting, even given who you work for.”
