“I’ve never been here,” I say as I look around the gorgeous restaurant Wes has brought me to called Sambuca. We’ve already ordered appetizers, and both of us have water. “Have you been here?”

Wes leans forward, adjusting his chair as he shakes his head. “Nope. Boon actually told me I needed to come here. It’s his and Posey’s spot. They live right up the road.”

“Yeah,” I say since I know where they live, but then I’m distracted by the restaurant and the super-cool ambiance. It has a club feel, but it’s romantic. Dark walls, big, round cushioned booths, and sleek tables. I like it. A lot. When they set down our Buca Beignets, we dig in, and I’m in heaven. “Oh my goodness, these are so good.”

Wes’s lip quirks at the side. “I don’t know what’s better, the food or the view.”

I purse my lips at him, and he grins before popping another biscuit full of cheese and jalapeño into his mouth. He’s right, though; it is hard to pick between the food and the view. His face is looking better. Instead of black and blue, it’s now green and yellow with no swelling. His nose is only a little crooked, but I like his look. It adds character. “Your face is healing nicely.”

“I know, right? I was surprised.”

I snort. “What does that mean?”

“I was convinced I was going to rock the Quasimodo look for much longer.”

I giggle loudly. “Not anywhere near the level of Quasimodo.”

“Whatever. Like your mom said, I’m surprised I pulled you.”

“You pulled me?”

“Yes, I was in your DMs.”

“And I was in yours. But I’m the one who invited you out, so I pulled you.”

“Oh wow, okay. That’s how you want to play this. You’re taking credit for this?” he asks, gesturing his hand between us.

“Always,” I say simply, grinning at him.

“Rude. I was constantly hitting on you.”

“Yes, and I decided to pull you in and make you mine,” I say sweetly.

“Wow. Now who’s putting labels and making claims over whom?”

“You love it,” I say with a wink, and I love this playfulness between us. He holds out a beignet to me, and I lean forward, taking a bite. He tries to take it back, but I take the whole thing, laughing at the shocked look on his face.

“You are mean. That was the last one, and I’m a growing boy.”

I laugh even harder. “You’re done growing!”

His eyes are full of such friskiness, and his smile is unstoppable. “Baby girl, you have no clue how much I can grow.”

Oh Jesus.

As he takes a long pull of his water, his eyes are on me, and I feel them absorbing each inch of me. There is a lot of skin to take in, and I can tell he appreciates every bit. “You’re blowing me away tonight, Stella.”

I lean on my hand, my eyes hooded. “That was the plan.”

“I don’t doubt it. You don’t hold back with me.”

“I don’t, and I won’t.”

“Good,” he says, the side of his mouth hooking up.
