Chapter Fourteen

The restaurant is lovely and quite pricey-looking. Surprising, since most guys would’ve chosen a mid-tier place for a first date. That way, if things don’t work out, they aren’t out a lot of money. And I say as much to Luke.

He laughs softly. “I never go in with the expectation that things aren’t going to work out.”

I arch an eyebrow.

“I don’t believe in playing safe. I play to win.”

I poke his side with my finger. It would’ve been an incredibly arrogant statement, but the wink that comes after it makes it playful. Still, I doubt it was all talk. There’s a confidence in him that’s as inherent and genuine as light from the sun.

After taking our seats, we’re handed menus, written in elegant calligraphy in both Japanese and English. The table’s set with beautiful jade lacquered chopsticks, inlaid with gold and small white pearlescent stones. I can’t help but run my fingers admiringly along the smooth utensils before ordering some nigiri and sashimi a la carte. I have my preferences, and most places don’t have a set with everything I want. Luke orders a tuna sashimi platter with a serving of tai. Our waitress is a gorgeous Asian woman with lustrous black hair that flows like an onyx river down her back. She gives him a winsome smile as she jots down his choice, but he barely acknowledges it, as though she’s about as interesting as a pebble.

“Pretty basic,” I say.

“No need to get fancy when the basic stuff’s good.” He adds a bottle of saké to our dinner, chilled to the temperature of the fish we’re about to be served.

And once we’re finished, he dismisses her without a smile, while somehow avoiding appearing rude.

It’s a definite point in his favor. Most of my exes would’ve given her a smile and tried to catalogue her assets—subtly, of course, as though I wouldn’t notice.

While waiting for our food, we chat about nothing important. It gives me a chance to observe him, and we can talk about things that matter later without interruption after our entrées have arrived.

He speaks easily, mostly about various trips around the world, because that’s what I ask him about. I listen, my hands around my cup, warm from hot green tea, but my mind isn’t really on his international adventures. His voice is even and light, and there’s a hint of laziness that reminds me of a luxuriously indolent afternoon. He sounded almost breathless against my neck that morning, and the memory sends a streak of hot longing pulsing through me.

Wonder if he’d sound like that again if we spent a languid afternoon in bed. And would he be masterful? Maybe he prefers to coax. That’s sexy too. Maybe a little rough? I wouldn’t be averse…

He might be able to go all afternoon. After all, he’s in fantastic shape. Hmm. I’ve never done it for an entire afternoon. It could get exhausting. I have a feeling Luke’s a demanding lover. But that’s what evening’s for—recuperation.

I squirm as my mind goes through one porno scenario after another.
