He said he’ll try.

As I take my seat across from him again, my heart is racing in my chest and it’s hard to breathe. I’m on a date—with Reid. I hoped he’d react this way. All day long I agonized over whether he’d show up or I’d be sitting here at the table alone. Now, I’m sort of dating my best friend.

Please God, don’t let this be a mistake.

“So, our first date.”

Reid grins. “Our first date.”

The waitress comes over, smiles at him and then bites her lip. “What can I get you?”

This used to be amusing, the way women react to Reid—now, not so much. I clear my throat. “We’d like a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon please,” I say with a condescending tone.

He seems to understand what has me prickly and extends his hand across the table. I smile as I place mine in his. He doesn’t even look at her.

“And you say you’re not good at the romance stuff?” I tease as she walks away.

Reid grins. “I’ve watched enough of your crappy shows to know a few things.”

“So, what I’m hearing is that they were not only emotionally riveting, they were educational.”

“No.”

“Well, look at us here. I’d disagree.”

“You underestimate the power of me wanting to see you naked again.”

“You know that just because we had sex once, doesn’t mean we’ll have sex tonight.” Then I have to bite my tongue to keep myself from laughing at the pathetic look on his face.

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Nope.” I shrug and place my napkin on my lap. “I mean, this is our first date. What kind of message would I be sending if I gave it up so soon?”

“That you have pity on me and want to make me happy.”

I tap my chin and look over to the left. “Pity sex, hmm. Doesn’t sound too hot.”

Reid chuckles once. “I wouldn’t worry about that, sweetheart.”

“Oh, now I’m sweetheart?”

“You can be anything you want.”

A shiver of happy disbelief makes my spine tingle. “What I want is to enjoy tonight.”

“Me too, Wills. I still can’t really believe you’re here.”

“Who did you think was coming?”

Reid leans forward. “You know what, I didn’t fucking care. I was praying for a no-show because I couldn’t believe you were going to try to set me up after everything.”

“Yeah. No matter what I tried to tell myself, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I may end up working for my sister, but I couldn’t endure seeing you with someone else, let alone arranging it. And we both know I’m not too good at the whole matchmaking thing.”

“I think you did just fine.”

I laugh. “I ended up setting you up on a date, hiding in the ferns—with my sister as my accomplice—and then sleeping with you.”

His eyes fill with warmth. “Again, fine by me.”

“Seriously, the sex again?”

“Always.”

Such a man. A sexy, smart, amazing man I can’t get enough of. “You’re incorrigible.”

“No, I’ve just missed you.”

“I missed you too. That was the hardest part. Knowing you were right there, across the hall, and yet you felt miles away.
