Chapter 11

Chloe sat at her table overlooking water and smiled a little to herself. Not too big a smile; she didn’t want to tempt fate. But she couldn’t deny that the past few days had been exceptionally kind to her. She’d started an incredible job, had an amazing first week with her new boss-slash-mentor, and met a man who made her head spin.

And now, after having the best sexual experience of her life, she was sitting in a great restaurant in the Inner Harbor waiting for him to meet her for lunch. She let her smile broaden. Yeah. This week had been one for the record books, and this definitely wasn’t a bad way to cap it off.

The only thing that bothered her was the fact that she was sitting here at the table waiting for him, rather than having him pick her up like a proper date would have started out. She hadn’t even entertained the possibility. Nope. She’d suggested the restaurant, she’d set the time, and she’d showed up fifteen minutes early to give herself greater control over the situation. She’d done the same thing for their dinner date.

But...hell, that was her normal way of operating. She was the quintessential lawyer, nailing down details, leaving nothing to chance. She’d always liked that about herself when it came to dating. It made her feel safer. So why was it bothering her now?

Was it because Chris made her feel safe enough for both of them? That he was the first man she’d ever met she might actually want to trust...and now she was afraid she might not be capable of it?

Well, shit.

“Hey there, beautiful.”

She was saved from her introspection by Chris’s arrival, and she was grateful. She hadn’t had much experience when it came to being in his presence, but all that she did have told her it was basically impossible to be stressed out or worried around him. Hell, even when she’d been threatened by a literal knife, she’d felt nothing but calm security the instant his voice hit her ears.

She turned to face him. “Hey, yourself.”

He brushed her hair away from her face and leaned down to kiss her. It was a casual gesture, but somehow it felt really intimate to Chloe, and it filled her with just as much warmth as the kiss did.

“I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I’ve known you for a hundred years,” she blurted out as he pulled back from the kiss and sat down.

What?!

She was not someone who was prone to careless outbursts, but rather was someone who thought through her words carefully before speaking or writing. She only said what she meant, and she reasoned through all potential repercussions before committing herself. Her inhibitions were, at all times, firmly in place. It was one of the things that made her good at her job.

Why did it seem like all of her tightly-held mores loosened around Chris?

“I know exactly what you mean. When I’m with you, I feel all the comforting familiarity of an old friend and all the fiery excitement of a new flame.
