“And your date’s name?” I asked as I cocked my head.

“Samantha.”

Looking over at her, I gave her a small wave. She shifted in her seat as a smile crossed her face.

“Enjoy your dinner,” Jackson spoke as he sat across from Samantha.

“You too.”

Turning to Keith, I noticed Elizabeth was glaring at me.

“Sorry. I had no choice. Long story.”

“Why did you do that?” Katie whispered.

“I don’t really know. It just slipped out.”

Once I finished eating, I excused myself and headed to the ladies’ room. After washing my hands, I opened the door to find Jackson standing up against the wall with his hands in his pockets.

“Waiting to use the ladies’ room?” I asked.

“No. Come with me.” He grabbed my hand and led me down the hall and out the exit door that led to an alley.

“What are you doing?”

He pushed me up against the brick wall, but not before taking hold of my wrists and pinning my arms above my head. His mouth smashed into mine with such force that it literally took my breath away. Using his free hand, he discreetly slipped it up my dress, pushed my panties to the side, and dipped in two fingers. My body reacted in the proper way as the wetness poured from me. Moans rumbled in the back of my throat as his lips pressed against mine and his fingers manipulated me until I orgasmed.

Pulling away from me, he placed his hands on my hips and smiled.

“I thought maybe you would enjoy that.”

“I did,” I spoke breathlessly as I stared into his mesmerizing eyes.

“Go back to your date and enjoy the rest of your evening.” He winked as he walked back inside the restaurant.

I waited a few minutes, so it didn’t look suspicious. Taking my seat, I couldn’t even bring myself to look over Jackson’s way.

“What took you so long?” Katie asked. “Did you fall in or something?”

“No. I’m just having some stomach issues. I think I’m going to head home.”

“Okay. We’re ready to go anyway.”

When Alex asked the waitress for the check, she told us that it had already been taken care of by an anonymous person who was paying it forward. I knew damn well Jackson paid for our meal. Before walking out, I glanced over at him, conversing with Samantha.

“It was nice to see you again,” I softly spoke as the adrenaline coursed through my body.

“The pleasure was all mine.” He smiled.

Taking in a deep breath, I walked outside, said goodbye to my friends, and hailed a cab home. The minute I walked through the door, I changed into my pajamas, poured myself a glass of wine, and took it over to the couch. Sitting down, I brought my knees up to my chest and let out a long sigh. I couldn’t stop thinking about Jackson and what happened earlier. It took a lot of nerve to do what he did to me while his date was waiting for him at the table. It was a total dick move on his part, and maybe he really wasn’t the man I thought he was.

As I climbed into bed, my phone rang, and Katie’s picture appeared.

“Shouldn’t you be celebrating Alex’s birthday in bed instead of calling me?”

“He’s in the bathroom,” she whispered. “So, what do you think? Is he into her or not?”

“No, sweetie. He’s not. I noticed nothing out of the ordinary. If anything, he couldn’t take his eyes off you the entire night.”
