A woman giggled, clearly giddy with the possibilities of tonight, and I felt the same energy rush through me.
 
 Cosmo’s grin widened. "But, before we enter the first course, does anyone have any questions?"
 
 To my surprise, a hand lifted.
 
 I turned and saw it wasthe manwho’d been watching me.
 
 Aww. He wants us to wait on his sexy date to get out of the bathroom. I bet $100 that’s the case.
 
 He parted his lovely, full lips, and before a single word left them, I knew—I just knew—that whatever sound came out of that mouth would do unspeakable things to me.
 
 And then, he spoke.
 
 Dark.
 
 Deep.
 
 A voice made for sin.
 
 No.
 
 It wasn’t just a voice.
 
 It was acaress.
 
 A slow drag of seductive fingertips down my back.
 
 A dirty, lustful murmur in the dark.
 
 The kind of sound that belonged in low-lit hotel rooms.
 
 And my poor, starved pussy?
 
 She fucking JUMPED like a puppy at the door when its owner comes home.
 
 Like she had her own set of ears and had been waiting—ten years—to hear a voice like that again.
 
 At this point, my pussy was basically feral.
 
 A neglected houseplant desperately reaching for sunlight.
 
 A parched desert praying for rain.
 
 A dry-ass biscuit begging for honey and butter.
 
 Alright. Calm down.
 
 I clenched my thighs before she embarrassed me further.
 
 Because this man?
 
 This six-foot-something, foreign, green-eyed temptation?
 
 He sounded like he could make a woman forget her own damn name.
 
 “Cosmo,” he said. “I have one question, before we begin.”
 
 There was this accent to each word, something smooth, deliberate, and just a little indulgent, like the way melted chocolate draped over a spoon before it slipped onto your tongue.
