Chapter Five

He should have ordered dinner up to the suite. As Luke followed Rachel in her figure-hugging, deep purple dress, all he could think about was getting her out of it and getting inside her. The sophisticated sway of her hips riveted his attention, and when she turned to slide into the private booth the maître d’ led them to in the Mystic’s upscale restaurant, his gaze shifted to the low V-cut neckline displaying an ample amount of flesh and generous cleavage.

Ignoring the flare of heat igniting in his belly, Luke sat next to Rachel and glanced back at the maître d’. “Thanks, Richard. We’ll take a bottle of Cristal when you get the chance.”

Richard nodded as he stepped away from the table. “I’ll get that champagne for you right away.”

Once the other man was gone and they were alone, Rachel slanted him a playful look. “If you’re trying to impress me, I have to admit that it’s working. Is all this another perk of working for the Mystic?” she asked, indicating the reserved table and the preferential treatment.

He grinned. “You could say that.”

She opened her leather-bound menu but didn’t look at the dinner selections. Instead, her gaze remained on him, her admiration genuine and real. “You’ve done very well for yourself, Luke. I’m really proud of everything you’ve accomplished.”

Her praise caused something warm and deep to curl through him and settle in long-forgotten places. “Thanks. I have to say, I love what I do. It’s a great job, and the people I work with are equally top-notch in the security field.” He nudged her menu in an attempt to avert the attention off of him. “The baked macadamia nut sea bass is exceptionally good here,” he said, remembering how much she loved seafood.

“I’m sold.” She flashed him a gregarious smile. “That sounds fantastic, and I’m absolutely ravenous.”

So was he, but not for food, he thought. Their episode in the bathroom was still fresh in his mind, as was their earlier kiss. Both encounters had him on edge with wanting her in the very worst way. Add that sexy, alluring dress of hers to his rapidly dwindling restraint and he hoped to God he made it through dinner without ravishing her in their very private and isolated corner of the restaurant.

He shifted in his seat, and while they waited for their server to arrive to take their order, he asked about her day, even though he knew exactly how she’d spent those hours. Regardless of his own secret knowledge of how she’d spent the afternoon, he listened to her anyway and realized just how much she’d enjoyed being indulged and pampered.

“Tell me something,” she said once they’d ordered their dinner and their Cristal had been delivered. “How did you get a job as head of security for the Mystic Casino?”

He sighed as he reclined against the booth’s leather exterior and watched as she took a sip of her champagne. They were back to him again, despite his attempts to steer the conversation away from his personal life.
