“I can’t get you out of my head.”

That makes two of us.

Before I spoke another word, I closed the door, so if any stragglers were around, they wouldn’t hear my conversation.

“Even around all those young women?”

“What’s with you and the young women? I need a mature woman.”

“Thanks. I’m not quite sure if that’s a compliment.”

“I assure you; it is. See me tonight.”

“Where?”

“You could join me for dinner at my place.”

“I prefer somewhere public if I go at all.”

“Are you afraid of me?”

No, I’m just afraid that I’ll end up in your bed and never want to leave.

I snorted. “Excuse me? Afraid?”

“It’s just dinner and maybe a glass of wine.”

“I’m incredibly busy.”

“Then meet me for dessert.”

“And where should I do that?”

“Gelateria Dolce.”

“Absolutely not. I already got tortured today by my trainer. You’re a bad influence. I didn’t work out once while on vacation.”

“I’d say you got plenty of workouts.”

Bastard! My belly clenched several times and I could feel my core heating at the thought of the workouts we had together.

“Those don’t count.”

“If I didn’t know you, I would be hurt by your statement.”

“It wasn’t meant to hurt you, but we had a deal.”

“And you’re worried if we hang out that you’ll end up in my bed, right?”

“I’m not worried because it wouldn’t happen.”

“Then meet me for dessert at least. Throw me a bone. I’m dying here.”

I laughed, “You want to see me that bad?”

The truth was that I wanted to see Austin, too, but I didn’t want to seem desperate.

“I do. I don’t care if we don’t have sex…well I do, but you said it’s off the table.”
