Chapter Seven ~ Unexpected Turn of Events

“Don’t take a good woman for granted. Someday someone will come along and appreciate what you didn’t.” ~ Unknown

“Let me walk you back to your room, sweetheart?”

Without waiting for my response, my new gentleman friend, Tex, stood from the booth we’d moved to a few hours ago and summoned the waitress to fix up both our tabs and settle the bill for our meal.

Thankfully it was only a short walk back to where I was staying for the night—because heels, too many margaritas, and spiraling self-confidence after being stood up was certainly a cocktail for disaster.

Suddenly I felt incredible gratitude toward this man for keeping me company, and thankful his drinking companion had to bail last minute. He pulled me to stand in front of him, quick to steady me on my feet.

“Yes, I think that’s enough margaritas for you.” A smile spread across his sexy face softening his eyes. Gah! Sympathy was exactly what I didn’t need.

“Lucky for you, I was able to talk you into eating with me otherwise I may have been carrying you home.” Tex took my arm and placed it in the crook of his, pulling me closer to his side and led us toward the exit.

Usually, the idea of being carried by such a gorgeous specimen through the streets of the city might cause a tingle in my panties, especially knowing he was in control, taking me home and hopefully close to having his wicked way with me. If I hadn’t been waiting for an asshole who never showed, a night with Tex would have been exactly what the doctor ordered.

Instead, I was left feeling used and deflated.

“Thank you, Tex,” I said, resting my head against his shoulder as we crossed the road in the direction of my hotel. “For everything. You’re such a gentleman for making sure I get home safely.”

I felt him kiss the top of my head, but we continued to walk in silence the rest of the way.

“This is me,” I said as we arrived at the front entrance of the River View Hotel complex. He turned to me, gently rubbing his hands over my shoulders, his eyes dark and his manner earnest.

“I sincerely wish I could be anything but a gentleman with you tonight, Tequila girl.” My body swayed slightly in his hold, his words surprising me. “I hate leaving you to go up to your room alone. But you’re vulnerable, and I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off you. That’s not what you need right now.”

Wow!

I knew I wasn’t beautiful in a way that stopped traffic, but I looked after myself and tried to exude a certain level of confidence. I never had any trouble attracting male attention, and it was an understatement to say that I was comfortable in the presence of a sexy alpha male such as the one standing in front of me, yet this entire situation had taken me completely by surprise.

Had I been that self-absorbed
