Chapter 10

The intercom on Cerise’s desk phone buzzed relentlessly until she jabbed a finger at the button in annoyance. “What?” she demanded, having been so immersed in new contracts that she had lost track of time.

“Temper, temper,” Blake Hamilton drawled lazily. “I’m in the lobby. Get your sweet ass down here now, or I’ll make good on my threat to carry you out bodily,” he warned good-naturedly, almost hoping she’d make him do it. The thought of throwing her over his shoulder and making her comply titillated him to no end. He heard a prolonged sigh on the other end of the intercom.

“I had no idea it was so late,” Cerise murmured, rubbing a weary hand across her furrowed brow.

“That’s because you work too damn hard,” he observed mildly. “Now get down here, I’m hungry!” This drew a giggle from Cerise, despite herself.

“Fine!” she agreed with mock-frustration. “Keep your pants on, I’ll be right down,” she muttered, still smiling and shaking her head.

Cerise slid into the back of the limo relieved that at long last, her work day was over. Her head was still abuzz with thoughts, plans and details, but she resolved to try to relax and enjoy her expensive dinner before going home and climbing into bed.

Her eyes widened with delight when the limo pulled up in front of one of the hottest new restaurants in the nation, “Soul Fusion.” The cuisine was a contemporary blend of down-home Southern cooking coupled with influences from the Caribbean and Europe. The fully organic menu was reputed to be out-of-this-world and a favorite of the President and First Lady.

She glanced at Blake in wonder. “Are you kidding me?” she demanded, impressed more than she wanted to let on. “I’ve known people who were put on a waiting list for months trying to get a reservation here!”

He grinned smugly. “I know people,” was his enigmatic reply.

He ushered her through the front doors into an interior that was part New Orleans bordello and part Louis XV, but entirely over-the-top luxury. The scent that teased and tantalized Cerise reminded her of her grandmother’s kitchen and her favorite Bahamian restaurant in equal measure. Her mouth watered in anticipation of the culinary delights that undoubtedly awaited her, and she absently realized that she had forgotten to eat lunch. The stunning duo made quite an appearance in the stately dining room, drawing many admiring (and in some cases, envious) glances before they were seated at an ornately carved private corner table which featured a pineapple motif carved into the stunning wood and fleur-de-lis silk on the upholstery.

They settled in with a carafe of exquisite wine that stimulated the palate, and ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, determined to make the most of their visit. The wine lowered their inhibitions and soon they were chatting freely and giggling at the foolish foibles of the record business, while sharing tidbits of ridiculously luscious dishes.

“You should have seen Sugar when he came shuffling back into my office like a whipped puppy,” Cerise shook her head, laughing.
