Page 15 of Losing Forever
I go with it and use the slight stumble to pull her closer. “You couldn’t be more wrong. But I like to be honest, even if it isn’t what a girl wants to hear.”
She stiffens. “Okay.”
“I'd love nothing more than to take you out, but I’m not looking for anything long-term.”
She seems to consider my words. “What about a few dates?”
“Baby, I can take care of all your needs in one epic night. That I can promise.” It’s all I’ve ever needed to get a girl into bed. I'm not a selfish lover, either. I make sure my date comes at least twice before I get off.
Caitlyn purses her lips and eyes me with caution. “I can’t tell if you’re overconfident or if you’re that good.”
I hug her to my side. “I’m that good. You would leave wined and dined and fully satisfied. But if you need a guy who can promise more dates, I will accept being just friends who flirt on occasion.” I wink again.
A sexy smirk curls her lips. “Your honesty makes you even more irresistible. And this body…” She rubs my washboard abs. “I’m usually a three-dates-before-sex girl, but for you, I might make an exception. What night were you thinking?”
Shit. I can't take her out until I know if Noah’s nailed her. Good thing I'm a quick thinker. “Since I’m new in town, I'd like to check with Noah and see if there's any good restaurants in the area or if I need to take you to Tampa for a nice dinner.”
“You'd take me all the way to Tampa?”
“Sure.” I shrug. “Why not?”
“No one ever has. But it’s far, traffic sucks, and there aren’t any nearby expressways so I wouldn’t expect them to.”
“Has Noah taken you out?” My guess is no because he would have considered Tampa for a date. He gave me the idea.
A sparkle shines in her eyes. “No, not yet. Is he planning to?”
“Are you interested?”
“In him or you?”
“Either.”
It won't bother me if she chooses Noah. It'll just mean I'm going out tonight to find another willing participant.
“I've always favored baseball, so…” She bites her bottom lip and moves her hand, hooking it around my waist.
Well, that settles that. “Got a favorite place that's local?”
“Maybe.”
“You free tonight?”
“Possibly.”
My dick twitches with excitement.Soon, boy. Soon.
“Pick you up when you get off work?” I smirk.
“I'll be ready.” She glances around and stops. “Shit. We passed the office.”
I turn and follow her gaze. Sure enough, the office is a block in the other direction.
She snickers and takes my hand, leading the way back. Normally, I wouldn't allow this. Holding hands is too promising but with her in front, dragging me the way she is, I figure it's harmless.
When we walk in, I set the coffees and box of donuts on a side table near the chairs.
“Should I deliver these?” Caitlyn removes two coffees from the drink holder.
