She fits on the back of my bike like she’s meant to be there. With her arms around me and her cheek pressed against my back, we ride to the restaurant I chose specifically to take her to tonight. The food is good, but more than that, it’s private and we’ll be able to talk. I want to get to know her. I know it takes time, but we have to start somewhere. I help her off the bike and hold her hand as we walk into the Italian restaurant. I open the door for her, wondering when the fuck I became a gentleman.

“This place is nice,” she says, looking around. She looks so sexy in her tight black jeans and her white top, and I can’t help but glance down at her ass a few times. Okay, so maybe I’m not that much of a gentleman.

“It’s my favorite,” I admit to her, leading her to my regular table with a hand on her lower back.

“Hey, Talon,” Rio, the owner, says. He looks down at Tia and his eyes widen. “And who is this?”

“Hey, Rio,” I say, handing Tia a menu. “This is Tia. Tia, this is Rio.”

“Hello,” she says, smiling at him. “Nice to meet you.”

“This is the first time Talon has brought a woman here,” he says, taking her hand and kissing it, making me grit my teeth. “You are very beautiful, Tia.”

“And now you know why,” I mutter, taking Tia’s hand away from him. She just laughs, finding the whole thing amusing, but really I want to punch him in the face for kissing a part of her that I haven’t yet. If I didn’t know he’s gay, I might have done just that.

I’ve known Rio for years. We actually went to high school together, so he knows me pretty well. His hobbies include annoying the fuck out of me on purpose, but I suppose that’s what friends do. I’m the one who gave him the start-up money for this place, and his food is amazing, so it’s my regular haunt. He’s right though: I’ve never brought a woman here before. I’m not going to overthink why exactly I brought Tia here on our first date.

“Let me know when the two of you are ready to order,” he says, slapping my shoulder as he walks away.

“He seems nice,” she says, opening the menu and starting to browse.

“He’s definitely something,” I murmur, watching her expression as she reads what’s on the menu.

“So you come here a lot, then?”

“You could say that.”

“What do you normally order then?” she asks, glancing up at me. “Everything looks good.”

“I usually get the carbonara,” I tell her, not even bothering to look at my menu, I know it so well. “But everything is good. Take your time and choose whatever you want.”

She puts the menu down and studies me. “I have to admit, I never thought the day would come when you’d ask me out on a date.” She pauses. “Is this something you do a lot?”

I lean my arms on the table, my lip twitching at the start of her interrogation.
