Page 61 of What If I Knew You

Me

Who said anything about crying? What would I be crying over?

Corri

Mario’s forgot to give you your free bread?

Me

LOL that would be a tragedy. What else?

Corri

They gave you veal parmigiana instead of chicken?

Me

Definitely worth a hearty cry. Anything else?

Corri

They ran out of cheese?

Me

OMG where have you been all my life? You totally get me. I’m sobbing already.

Corri

I knew it

Me

Actually, I got out of work pretty late tonight and never ate dinner. I’m starving and Mario’s sounds fucking delicious.

Corri

Sooo if I ordered some, you would pick it up and bring it here? You provide dinner, I’ll provide dessert?

Me

By dessert you mean…

Corri

Your second lesson.

Me

Order right now. I’ll pick it up and be there in twenty.

“What if Ican’t get her off?” I can’t believe I’m even asking this. My cheeks are turning red. I can feel them warm as I trail my fingers over Corri’s naked body. The moment I got here, she met me at the door in nothing but her pink silk robe and I knew dinner was going to be a little later still.

“I hope you don’t mind,” she said to me as I set our take-out on the counter in her kitchen. “I thought maybe you might want dessert first.”

I tugged on the tie of her robe as I pulled her in against my body, wrapping my arm around her. “I know this is just you being extremely generous and teaching me how to navigate a woman’s body, but I’ll need you to forgive me.”

“For what?”
