CHAPTER SEVEN

They spent three days in Raleigh, but after the first one, Rand spent very little time in meetings. He invited Phoebe to accompany him to the one working dinner he had to attend and seemed to want her company as much as she wanted his.

Although they spent a great deal of their time together in bed, or on the floor, or up against a wall, Rand insisted on doing things with her besides making love. He said that being his woman did not mean spending twenty-four-seven in bed. Not that she would have minded. Making love with Rand was pure pleasure, but knowing he wanted more than sex with her gave her hope for a relationship beyond their one-weak agreement.

On their last night in Raleigh, Rand took her to a small hole-in the corner restaurant located in a strip mall of all places. While the outside was unassuming, the interior was as elegant as any five-star restaurant she’d ever been to and she quickly learned it was the restaurant for steak lovers in Raleigh. The waiter led them to a small table in the backroom. She smiled as Rand pulled out her chair and helped her into her seat instead of allowing the waiter to do it.

"You’re going to love the steak here, baby."

"And what would you do if it turned out I didn’t care for steak at all?" she asked tongue in cheek.

He folded his tall form into the chair across from hers, his gray eyes full of humor and sexy lights. "Come on, honey. I’ve known you for four years. Not only do I know for a fact you love a good steak, I know you like it medium-well and prefer it topped with sautéed mushrooms when they’re available."

"I guess you paid attention." For some reason, that really surprised her. It seemed like an intimate thing for someone to know about her, to care enough to notice.

"You’d be surprised at the things I pay attention to." His expression implied things that made her insides melt.

"I’m surprised you paid attention to that much."

"Why?" He looked genuinely puzzled. "We’ve spent enough time together over the last few years."

She laughed, though the sound was a little choked. "I’m not exactly the type of woman you notice, Rand."

His dark brows rose. "That’s why we’ve had to buy so many condoms this week, because you’re not the type of woman I notice."

Even after three days making love in every way she could imagine, and some she hadn’t, she could still blush. And she did as her gaze skittered around the restaurant, trying to tell if anyone had heard him.

He laughed out loud, the masculine sound caressing her insides. "What’s the matter, baby? Worried someone here is going to figure out we’re sleeping together?"

She frowned at him. "No, but you don’t need to announce it to the whole restaurant either."

His face moved into lines of mock solemnity and it was at that moment that she realized just how frequently he had smiled and laughed over the last few days.
