Chapter 16

“What do you think your boss would say if she knew you were here?” He took a bite of his meal, looking at her across the patio table on his deck, the sunset their backdrop. She’d taken him by surprise, not expecting to connect with her so easy. If anyone would have told him this, even a week ago, he would have laughed in their face. But Savvon had kept him on his toes most of the night, and he was enjoying her company. It was a nice change of pace not having to think about the ins and outs of his business for once and just sit and listen. He enjoyed everything about her so far.

“At this point, I don’t care,” she said with a matter of fact tone, taking a bite of steak and a sip of wine.

She shrugged. “I’ve had one, maybe two glasses.” He glanced at the nearly drained bottle. “Okay, maybe a few glasses. But, it’s not the wine talking. This is me. She can’t tell me who I can spend my free time with.”

“That is true. I’m glad you are spending this free time with me.”

Their eyes met again. Each time, the moment was longer, the electricity a little more intense. He had to stop looking at her like that; it was dangerous.

“So, I feel like I've been talking about myself all night. Tell me about Nathan Philips?” she said, breaking the silence.

“I’m from Phoenix.”

“So you’ve said.”

He sipped his beer and nodded. “I have two sisters, both older. My mother and father are still together.”

She smiled.

“I moved here for college, majoring in computer science and software engineering.”

“A techy nerd.”

He looked up at her, and she winked.

He let out a soft chuckle. “Hey, I’m a sexy nerd, lady. Besides, it worked out; it got me all this,” he said, indicating his house and the open deck space.

“Touché and nice it is.” She nodded. “The magazines and internet call you a ‘coding genius.’”

“You’ve read up on me?” He lowered his fork and regarded her across the table with interest. He watched as her cheeks flush through her mocha skin. He’d apologize for making a beautiful woman uncomfortable any other time. But, tonight, he liked seeing this response when her responses were usually full of quick wit and easy retorts. He rather enjoyed verbally riding her to see where it ended. With the way her words already had his lower region hardening, and the way she licked her lips, the riding would turn into something more physical.

“I may have read some things...”

“Did you?” He was not letting her off the hook. Obviously, he’d piqued her interest enough for her to look him up. He wanted to hear more.

She met his gaze, and he saw the fire that had intrigued him throughout their evening together. She jutted her chin and slightly lifted her head.

That defiance…I love that.

Most women thought overt flirtation would turn his head. But, he was not fooled by any of that. Especially now that he has made a name for himself.
