“Mhm. After dinner I promise that you’ll want it.”
“I just said I can’t. So if you’ll excuse me.” I tried to walk past him, but he sidestepped, blocking my path, so that I ended up just a few inches in front of him. He smelled amazing.
“Are you saying no to me?”
Am I? “Yes.”
“So, it’s a yes?” he said.
“What? No.”
“Bee,” he said and picked up my jacket. “You have a lot to learn. For one, you should never say no to me.” He grabbed my hand.
I felt the same electricity shoot through my body. I quickly pulled my hand out of his. “I’m sorry, Mason. But I’m not interested in pursuing whatever this is.”
He bent down so that his lips were by my ear. “I promise you that tonight will be worth your time, Bee.”
I pressed my thighs together.
“Bridget, do you have those papers I asked for?” Mr. Ellington came out of his office. He frowned when he saw Mason.
Maybe this was exactly what I needed to get Mr. Ellington to stop hitting on me.
“Stop, Mason, not at the office.” I giggled and pushed on his chest. I internally rolled my eyes at myself.
Mr. Ellington’s frown deepened.
“Yes, Mr. Ellington.” I smoothed down my skirt even though it didn’t need it. I picked up a folder off my desk and handed it to him. “Is there anything else I can do for you tonight?”
“Not tonight, no.”
“Okay, great. Let’s get going, baby,” I said and put my arm through Mason’s. I tried not to look at either him or Mr. Ellington. What was I doing? Getting away from one snake and into bed with another.
Mr. Ellington turned and walked back into this office.
Thank God. I sighed and tried to take a step away from Mason, but he held me in place.
“I’d like to know what that was about,” he said. He kept his hand on my arm. “I think you owe me an explanation.”
“I owe you an explanation? You’re the one that owes me an explanation.”
“Let’s discuss it over dinner then. My treat.”
What if Kendra was right? Maybe I should hear him out. Guys like him didn’t need to do stuff like this. Maybe Patrick had made the whole thing up. All he did the last few months of our relationship was lie to me. I grabbed my jacket out of Mason’s hand and walked past him. “We’ll split the cost,” I said over my shoulder.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Mason
I watched her ass sway back and forth. Being chivalrous was not going to be easy. I quickly caught up to her. She didn’t look at me until we both got onto the elevator. She leaned against the side of the elevator and crossed her arms over her chest. It pressed her tits together. I had to force myself to look up at her face. She was pouting slightly, her lips full and sultry. All I wanted to do was fuck her pretty little face again.
“Just so we’re both clear, this is not a date. I’m going to dinner with you to hear you out. That’s it.”
“It seems like a date to me. I sent you flowers. And picked you up at work. And you’re already calling me baby. It’s all moving a little fast, but I think I’m okay with that.”
Bee laughed. “You didn’t pick me up. You just walked over here from Blue Media.”
“Hmm.” The doors opened and I held my hand out, motioning for her to go first. I saw it, but only for a second. She looked surprised that I was letting her exit the elevator first. I wasn’t even trying to be chivalrous. That’s just what men did. Clearly her ex hadn’t been a man. Vargas was still working on getting me his name. But I had already found out a lot about Bee. I opened up the door to her office building for her.
