CHAPTER FIVE

TOR

I hold the door open and let my eyes drift downward as Bree brushes past me through the door of Ballard’s. I get a delicious view of her cleavage as she goes past, and she's more mouth watering than anything on the restaurant’s menu.

The hostess leads us to a corner booth and we both settle in. I’m determined to make her see that I’m not a bad guy, and by the look of things, she’s starting to warm up to me. I just can’t screw this up.

I’m curious about what made her change her mind so suddenly, though. I don’t know whether to ask about it or to leave well enough alone and just be glad I’m sitting across from the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

Bree pretends to be engrossed in reading the menu. “What do you suppose you’ll have? You seem like a jalapeno cheeseburger kind of woman.”

She rewards me with a smile and finally looks up at me. “What would make you think that?” She has a playful lilt to her voice that puts me at ease.

“Well, your attitude is sure spicy as hell. And your looks are on fire. So I imagine you must like your food to be hot, too.” I shrug. “It only makes sense.”

“Hey now. I said I was sorry for the way I acted.” Her voice softens. “I meant that, you know?”

“I know. I believe you.”

The waiter sets some glasses of water with lemon in front of us and she carefully unwraps her straw and takes a sip. My eyes are locked on those luscious lips and the way they’re sucking on her straw. I wish I could get in on that action. My cock stirs in my pants and I tear my eyes away and take a long drink from my own cold glass.

Bree opens her mouth and closes it again a couple times, as if she wants to say something but isn’t sure how to word it. I watch her patiently as she searches for words.

“I met your sister today. She came in to get a haircut. And she told me about what you did for her. I’m sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry it happened to both of you. Your sister seems like a really sweet girl."

I wasn’t expecting to hear that. My smile disappears. The reason for my jail time wasn’t exactly what I had in mind for the topic of conversation at my first date in years.

“Yeah, well it is what it is. I had to do something. It was a bad situation, and if I had it to do over again I can’t say I would have done anything differently. That guy got what was coming to him. I guess I did too.”

Bree shakes her head and reaches across the table, laying her hand over mine. “No, you didn’t. You didn’t deserve what you got, Tor. You were defending your sister, and what you did was heroic.”

Bree’s soft hand on my calloused one made my whole body catch fire.
