“Remind me to buy stock in the fucking place, Gorgeous.”

“Is that what you are?”she asks thoughtfully.

“What I am?”

“What you do?Are you a stockbroker?”

I frown, leaning down on the bar to study her closely.

“Do I look like a fucking stockbroker?”

“Well, no.I don’t guess.Then again, I can’t say as I’ve met any.”

“Not a stockbroker, Rory.”

“What are you?”

“I’m me,” I shrug, not liking where the conversation turned.

“That doesn’t really give me an answer,” she huffs.

“Only answer you’re going to get.”

“You think I should just let you in my bed not knowing who you are?”

“You weren’t complaining when I got you off,” I smirk.

“Technically, Noah, I got myself off.You were just along for the show.”

“It was a damn good show,” I admit.“Then again, it was my name you gave me when you went over the edge.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this,” she mutters into her coffee.Her face tinges a soft shade of red.

“We could talk about you going to your bedroom and letting me have those tits in my mouth,” I tell her, forgetting I was going to walk away.

“Do those lines really work for you?”

“Wasn’t a line.It’s just what I want.You have a problem with my mouth, I could definitely go with my dick instead.”

“You are a dick,” she mutters, and for some reason it makes me grin.

“Good thing you like dick then isn’t?”

“I’ve just sworn off of it,” she responds.

“I think I got proof last night that you haven’t.”

“Just happened today when you showed up at my door and began acting like an asshole.I’ve had enough assholes in my life.I’m not in a big hurry to add another to the mix.”

“For today, I’m going to let you get away with that,” I murmur, studying her face.“But soon you and I are going to stop this dance, Gorgeous.”

“Eat a doughnut, Noah.You’re delusional from hunger,” she says pushing the doughnuts toward me.

I take one and look at her while I eat.She steers the conversation about the weather and I let her—partly because she looks sexy fresh out of bed, partly because I’m confused as hell myself.Mostly it’s because I’m busy counting the freckles scattered across her nose….
