“Fine,” he answered. “But I’m absolutely having a second helping of dessert tonight.”
I smiled and raised an eyebrow. I grabbed my purse and Nathan led me down to the lobby where we got in a taxi and were taken to a restaurant in the main part of town.
A waiter led us to a small table in a quiet corner of the restaurant. We were given menus and were told another waiter would be over shortly to take our order.
“Aloha,” said a deep male voice a few minutes later.
I looked up from my menu and into the eyes of a gorgeous young Hawaiian man. He was about my age, with dark tanned skin, dark curly hair and dark eyes that were smiley and friendly, and completely focused on me.
“Aloha,” I replied happily. I glanced at Nathan and saw him frown at me.
An idea popped into my head. I had a plan to see if Nathan really did have any feelings for me. I had to do it now before we got back home and Nathan got back into his life and his old ways. The last few days he’d started to let his guard down around me and I wanted to test if his feelings for me had changed at all.
“How can I help you today?” the waiter asked. He shot a glance at Nathan, then turned his full attention back to me.
“What do you recommend?” I asked, flashing a flirty smile. I could see Nathan’s eyes begin to darken.
“Well, today the chef has a special of tender chicken breast, covered in a light Hawaiian pineapple sauce, served with a crisp green salad and spicy seasoned potato wedges.” He winked at me. “That’s my favourite.”
“Well then, I’ll have to try that.” I smiled my brightest smile.
“And for your husband?” The waiter asked, briefly turning to Nathan.
I laughed and winked at the waiter. “He’s not my husband. We’re not even a couple.” I looked at Nathan and raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to object.
“I’ll have the fish in white wine sauce,” Nathan muttered, hardly glancing at the waiter.
“Good choice, Sir,” the waiter smiled again at me and walked out to the kitchen.
“What the hell was that? Were you flirting with him?” Nathan growled. He had that ice-cold look in his eyes, a look I hadn’t seen in a while.
I raised my chin. I wasn’t going to let him intimidate me. “So what if I was?”
“Because you’re mine, that’s why.” He was furious. His eyes had turned a shade of brown so dark they were almost black.
“I thought we were over all that mistress stuff? Anyway, even if you did own my body, you can never own my mind. I will like whoever I want,” I taunted. “You only want me for the sex anyway, you’ll still get what you want.”
“You will not behave like that in front of me again, Rose.” Nathan’s eyes were black ice and his tone was so angry I almost chickened out of what I was about to say next.
