Dinner was incredible, but Brooke could barely focus on the food. Even the most delicious seafood and fragrant sauces couldn’t distract her from the man sitting across the table, his eyes gleaming blue in the candlelight.

“Good?” Riley asked, nodding to her plate.

“Uh huh.” Brooke managed a vague murmur in reply, watching as he tore off a piece of bread and dipped it in the bowl of oil. He took a bite, a drop of the sauce lingering on the edge of his mouth until he licked it away.

She shivered.

What was she doing? She thought she’d have it together by now. She’d spent all afternoon feeling bold with anticipation—taking a luxurious shower, dressing in that gorgeous lingerie, just imagining the look on Riley’s face when it came time to undress and reveal her surprise—but the moment he arrived on her doorstep, looking better than any man had a right to look, all that confidence seemed to disappear in a whirlwind of fluttering desire.

Focus, Brooke, she told herself. Just because he’s all crisp and clean-shaven, he’s still the fun-loving guy you know. The one who makes you laugh with all his charming innuendo.

The one who took you to the brink of pleasure—and right over the edge.

She flushed, her body tightening at the memories.

“Everything OK?” Riley looked puzzled. “You’ve gone quiet.”

“Huh? Oh, no, I’m fine,” Brooke covered quickly. “I was just . . . thinking about work. This food is so good, do you think your friend would be interested in catering at all?”

“For your big wedding?” Riley replied. “He doesn’t normally, but you can always ask. I’ll send word back to the kitchen when we’re done.”

“Great.” Brooke took a gulp of her water, trying to cool down. But it was hard. Every time she looked at Riley, she remembered exactly what they’d done the last time they were together. His hands, sliding over her body. His lips, teasing at her skin. And those fingers—

She stopped short before she could finish the thought. God, those fingers. Getting this turned on in public was a dangerous thing, and she would just die if anyone knew the steamy thoughts racing through her mind. Luckily, Riley seemed completely oblivious—lounging back in his seat, totally at ease as he cleared his plate.

She took another sip of water and tried to think of something safe to talk about. But every glance at him only made her heart beat faster, watching the gold tone of his skin against his button-down shirt, and the way his cuffs were pushed back over those strong, tanned forearms . . .

“Dessert?”

Brooke jerked her head up. Riley was smiling at her from across the table. “We could have it here, or . . . take some to go.”

His smile turned seductive, and Brooke had to remind herself to breathe. “Sure,” she managed, holding onto the table to keep from slipping to the floor in a pool of pure desire. “Sounds good to me.”

“Perfect.” Riley called their server back over, and a few minutes later, they were set with a couple of crisp bakery boxes and the check.
