Chapter 9

Indigo

Never in my life had a romantic comedy that ended with the first kiss had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Until Jacob, who left me panting for more.

Our lives weren’t anything like the movie. Yet here I was, sitting cross-legged, on the edge of my seat, next to Jacob. And I waited for his touch.

But the sexy, muscular man beside me put his hands in the popcorn bowl we shared, and our thighs only touched through our clothes.

I seriously was on tenterhooks for more, for kisses like in the movie that only he could give me.

I had Jacob Donovan—who with a snap of his fingers could be anywhere, eating five-star food, with one glance at his staff—sitting here beside me. Yet he’d not complained at all about the night at home I’d set up for just us.

Like we were a real couple with nothing to do.

Honestly, when I set this up, I assumed he’d take control and change everything immediately.

But he hadn’t. And watching him eat Chinese take-out and then relax next to me on the couch had covered my skin with serious goosebumps of anticipation.

Finally, the credits rolled, and I found the remote control, turned off the TV and said, “I hope dinner and the movie wasn’t too low class for you.” I massaged the back of my neck and tilted my head. “I wanted to see how you reacted.”

He stretched his arms and asked, “To what?”

I didn’t uncurl myself beside him. I loved the whiff of his subtle cologne that made my body tremble for him.

“To something simple and unplanned on your part,” I said.

He patted my foot and said, “Honestly, dinner and a movie has never been a date night for me.”

“I can’t imagine your world.”

“You don’t want to. Most of the people in it are like light bulbs.”

“What do you mean?”

“Bright and shiny when turned on and in the moment, but afterwards, they’re easily forgotten. An accessory. And they don’t matter.”

Part of me couldn’t imagine his world. Sure, I’d met people like him in offices where I’d made pitches, but I was never invited for even a coffee after. I presented myself as all-business to get ahead with my goals.

Now I didn’t need to, and I wasn’t sure what would happen next. I ignored the pulsing in my veins and asked, “Good. So this is a date for you?”

He kissed my neck and his skin on mine made me giggle. And I never giggled. He stopped and held me as he said, “Hell yes. I want you, but I need you to be comfortable with me. You were next to me, so I assumed it was all right.”

If he continued to make my body feel like this, it would rupture in desire. Then I’d never have to let him find out that I wasn’t that … well … good in bed. Sex was never fun. I ignored that thought that buzzed in my brain and just asked, “What’s your normal method of dating then?”

His lips thinned as he said, “I don’t date.
