“Okay, well, we will. But first, let’s deal with this. Can we see you again?”
“You know where my shop is.”
“No. Can we take you out again, I mean, on a date?”
“Who’s asking?”
“Me,” he says, before looking at Rowan. “And Rowan. And Linden.”
“Hell no!” I cry at the same time as Oakley returns and adds, “And me”.
“Why not?”
“I’m not dating four guys. Especially when I don’t even like one of you…I don’t even know you!”
“We’ll get to know each other through the dates,” Ash insists. “Can I take you out for breakfast tomorrow?”
I love the way he’s confident enough to not even have to ask if I like him or not. Am I that obvious?
“Breakfast, yes. Dating everyone? No.”
“Can I change your mind?” Oakley whispers in my ear and damn it, my treacherous body shudders and gives me away. He laughs. “I’ll take that as a yes, sweetheart…I’ll come visit you at lunchtime.”
“I’m working,” I protest, though feebly. I’m a little disappointed he’s claiming the middle-of-the-day slot. I’d be dangerous around him in the darkness.
“Lunch break. You won’t regret it.”
I sigh and nod, not feeling like I have much choice in the matter. But also, not really wanting to protest too much. Four sexy-as-sin hot guys want to date me? I’m not about to say no, not really. Playing a little hard to get on the other hand, well, that’s just fine.
“Well, I guess I’ll see you for dinner,” Rowan chimes in with a dazzling smile, which I simply return.
“Does that mean I get the night shift?” Linden winks.
“Ugh. No. I need an early night.”
“Oh, darlin’, I can have you in bed as early as you like.”
Bleurgh, I think. Only, that’s not the message my body receives from my brain. My body seems to hear holy hell let’s go now! Oh shit. I am so fucked if I fancy Linden too.
“You’ve got one day to impress me and convince me that we should go out again,” I tell the four of them firmly. I grab a pen and scrap of paper from my bag and scribble down my number before tossing it on the table. “Here’s my number. Now, I’m going to get my beauty sleep because apparently I have three hot dates to enjoy tomorrow! Goodnight gentlemen, and Linden.”
I stand and sashay away, putting an extra little wiggle in my walk. I don’t even need a sixth sense to feel the four pairs of eyes staring intently at my ass as I go.
