“Things?” Her lips part, and I have the urge to reach over the table and pull them to mine to feel them between my teeth.
“It makes me want to tear heads off,” I growl.
“Oh.”
She looks so serious. I’ve screwed it. Forget four years. She’s going to think I’m a psycho, possessive asshole, and change her name so she never has to see me again.
I know I’m coming on strong, but fuck, I can’t help it.
I’m done wasting time. If all the shit that’s gone down with my friends and family the past few years has taught me one thing, it’s that you don’t take a good thing for granted. Because you could lose it all.
And Sophie Havers is my good thing.
She brings her eyes to mine, and I ready my defense. She might be one of the country’s top lawyers, but I’m not going down without a fight.
I open my mouth, but she cuts me off.
“Thank you for a lovely evening.”
Heat flares across the back of my neck. She’s brushing me off.
“Sophie—"
“It’s my turn to arrange the date next time.”
“Next time?” My brows shoot up.
“Yes. Is that a problem?” She looks at me, and I blink.
“No, no problem.” My dick springs to attention at her confident tone.
“Good.” She finishes her wine. “Are you ready to take me home now?”

“You booked yourself intoThe Songbird hotel? When it’s only a couple of nights you sometimes—”
“Not anymore. We’ve talked about this.” I sigh, frustrated.
“I see.” Alicia scowls, sitting back into the seat of the car the New York office sent for me.
She smoothes her dark hair back into its tight bun even though there isn’t a hair out of place. There never is. She’s immaculate. Even first thing in the morning. I swear she gets up and puts makeup on, then climbs back into bed.
My phone chimes with a text, and I pull it out.
Sophie: I hope you had a good flight. See you Friday.
My thumb hovers over the call button for a split second before I hit it, bringing the phone to my ear.
“I can’t wait, Ms. Havers,” I say the moment she answers.
Her soft laugh floats down the phone. “Mr. Harper, I’m at work. The same as you. Stop distracting me.”
The line goes dead, and my grin stretches to my ears. Lawyer Sophie is sexyandfun.
“Personal call?”
