Maya's eyes flutter closed briefly after she swallows a small bite of shrimp linguini. She actually lets out a little hum of appreciation. Once again, spending time with Maya has me wishing I could be her next meal. Her sensual reactions to everything (from pasta to a tweak of her nipples) are a huge turn-on. I munch on my chicken caesar salad, watching her closely.
âSo youâre one of those guys, huh? That give the 'not looking for anything serious' speech?â I freeze, my fork halfway to my mouth. Although sheâs teasing, I can see judgment in her eyes too.
I dared to hope we could leave the Candy drama back at Macy's when I made it through the appetizer unscathed. No such luck. I put down my fork and give a small shrug, feeling almostâ¦ashamed(?) of my ability to get almost any woman in bed. That's a first.
âI used to be, I guess.â
âOh yeah? When did you stop? Candyâs been trying to reach out.â She playfully swats my hand before taking a sip of her club soda. The suction of her full lips around the straw has me imagining something else and I adjust in my seat.
âJune 28th,â I say quietly. Judging by her stunned silence, she remembers thatâs the day we met. I look into her eyes meaningfully until weâre interrupted by the waiter. We order (gin & tonic for me and another club soda for her) and she breaks the tension by checking her phone.
"You're making me feel like quite the lush over here." She smiles warmly and puts down her phone.
"Sorry. I have to finish up some monogramed blankets for a corporate event and my needle work comes out crooked whenever I try to do it tipsy." I burst out laughing, covering my mouth with my napkin to keep from spitting my drink on her.
"Whenever you try to do it tipsy? That sounds like you've tried to do it quite a few times." She smiles bashfully and takes another bit of her lunch.
"I guess that's another perk of being a small business owner. You don't have to wait until after hours to have a drink."
"Unless you're doing monograms," I correct. She giggles softly and tucks in a loose loc that fell from her head wrap. I put my fork down and look at her directly.
âSoâ¦Are you finally going to tell me the real reason you left the other night?â Sheâs obviously startled. She mustâve thought I would let it drop after the phone sex. Nope.
âI told you,â she stammers. âIt was just intense.â I consider this for a moment.
âIt was intense. Intense and extremely hot.â Her skin is flushed and she takes a sip of water. âTell me it wasnât just me who wanted to continueâ¦in person.â She looks away shyly and shakes her head.
âNo. I wanted to stay.â I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
âThen why did you ask to leave when I came back out? Be honest. I can tell you're not telling me something.
