I’m glad the food comes and distracts me. While we eat we set up a plan of actions, and book another meeting to discuss further.

The evening is one of the best I’ve ever had, and I’m not even counting having Jamie so close to me we can touch.

“You need to try this,” I say to him, while raising my fork to share some halloumi cheese and cucumber salad with him.

When he looks at me as if I’ve gone mad, it hits me that this is a business meeting. We are not together and we’re barely friends.

My face goes up in flames, and I look around to check whether anyone noticed my idiotic behaviour. I’m glad when even our companions are too busy with what they have on their plate.

“Jamie, I’m sorry,” I say while pulling my hand back, but he stops me mid-action.

He pulls my arm until the fork is close to his mouth, and I watch in awe as he opens and leans in so he can close his mouth on it. The fork goes in, his lips close on it, and then the fork moves backwards.

Sexy as hell.

My cock replies in turn by filling up and pushing against my zipper. When Jamie’s tongue makes an appearance to clean his lips, my eyes dart up to look at him, and there he is, teasing me. He winks at me and sends my brain into the gutter, filling with visions of Jamie sprawled on my bed, naked and needy.

A smack to my hand brings my attention back to the room, and to Jamie.

“DidKittyeat your tongue?”

Fuck if I don’t love him like this, and if I don’t love the nickname I gave him.

“Yeah, he did. But I’m hoping Kitty will allow me to savour him at some point.”

“Kitty is free tonight.”

What? Is he really asking me to go home with him? To lay him on the bed and make all my dreams come true?

“Are you—“

“What are you talking about?” Karl asks, and Alexi turns to us as well.

The smile on Jamie’s face tells me he wont reply, but there’s no need as Karl continues. “What happened to your face? Is that salad so spicy?”

I watch Jamie throw his head back and laugh. Happiness spreads out of him in waves, and I’m thrilled that my discomfort and my wicked mind are giving him joy.

“Nothing that concerns you, and yes, something is very spicy in here.”

Another burst of laughter from Jamie, and I follow him, while those two look at us as if we’re crazy.

We go back to our meeting and keep jumping ideas off each other. This is one of the best evenings I’ve had in years, and I don’t want it to ever end.

Especially if it means losing Jamie.

Chapter 21

Jamie

He looks so cute, flustered by my behaviour, which is less than perfect in a meeting situation. I’m not very good at flirting but doing it with Shane is fun and comes naturally.

I couldn’t resist when Shane, without thinking, offered me some food using his fork, as if we were boyfriends.

The word sounds so hot.

Actually, since he talked about his foundation, about his need to help those kids, and about his project, I’m hot for him. I knew he was clever, and I knew he was always willing to help, but I never knew he was so selfless as to give up on his dreams to make it possible for others to have one.

Before, I couldn’t see, too blinded by what had happened in the past and by my own memories and desires.
