CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I let him order the special and a few other things on the menu that he said I just had to try. It was nice to see a different side of him, though it scared me a little. I was too needy to be comfortable in the presence of a full-package deal. The body, the heart, and the personality of my dreams. It wasn't until dessert that I decided to move past our shallow conversation on movies and surf spots to learn more about him.

"Tell me a little bit about how you got the job with my dad? He's pretty weird about tat-wearing, bike-riding hoodlums." I glanced up at the waiter as he approached and set something chocolaty between us. "Thanks."

"I'll let you have the first bite. I want to see you enjoy it." A sexy smirk lifted Ian's mouth and I swallowed hard, shoving my facade into place and picking up my spoon. The need to cry kept assaulting me, but I knew damn good and well what it was. I wanted him to like me - a lot.

"Let's see if this is all you say it is." I lifted my spoon to my lips, the chocolate thick and rich. "Answer my question."

I licked at the spoon and groaned, unable to help myself. His eyes narrowed a little as his warm brown eyes shifted down toward my mouth.

"Good, isn't it?" He winked and picked up his spoon. "Yeah, so my brother is about five years older than me. He owns a private security company. I work at the hospital in the ER in security, but a few weeks back, he needed some help, so I stepped in."

I watched him suck on his spoon for a minute, my eyes wider than they should have been. Never in my life had I imagined eating dessert to be so incredibly sensual. I blinked a few times, turning my gaze back to the dessert as heat rolled over me in vicious waves.

"Yeah, but how did my dad get into the picture? Does he know your brother?" I licked at the spoon before sucking it deep into my mouth and rolling my tongue along the silky chocolate.

"God, that's hot," he muttered and sat back, picking up his water and shocking me with his confession if he meant what I think he did.

"The dessert?" I leaned over, pulling it to me to inspect it. "Is it like Mexican chocolate, where they put chili flakes in it? Did you get one of them?"

He laughed and pulled the dessert back. "Anyway... your father does know my brother and uses his services a lot. The event that I filled in for Jake, my brother, was the open-aired concert where your father was threatened."

I jerked my gaze back up to Ian. "Did you save his life that night?"

"I did." He took another large spoonful, much less impressed with himself than I was.

"You would have given up your life for his?"

He looked up at me, the softness in his expression not fitting the hard-ass guy that had been jacking with my world over the last few days.
