Thirty minutes later, Julian stopped in front of a building and pulled a door open, but it wasn’t the door to a fancy hotel like she’d been expecting. Skylar frowned in confusion, staring at the old sign above her head. Only half the letters were illuminated, and half of those flickered off and on with the buzz of neon. “This is a pizza place. I made you sandwiches and a salad. If you were hungry, why didn’t we just eat at your place?”

“Because this isn’t just any pizza place,” he said, leaning against the doorframe. “This is Antonio’s, the best pizza place in the city. Come on, you’re in for a treat.”

She peered inside, casting her gaze around, taking in the dingy, linoleum-floored, seemingly sticky-tabled pizza joint. “You like this place?” she asked.

“Love it.”

Skylar’s eyebrows knitted together, but she stepped into the pizza joint, and he let the door slam shut behind them, the little bell announcing their presence. Despite the dingy floors and tables, a quick glance into the open kitchen confirmed it was unexpectedly organized and clean.

“Trust me, princess,” he murmured before breaking into a wide grin as an apron-wearing, dark-haired man who was only slightly smaller than Goliath, the man who’d escorted her from that dark alley and into that beautiful restaurant to meet Julian, came into view.

“Jay, my man!”

Julian grinned at the man who’d greeted him. “Antonio!”

Antonio walked toward them, wiped his hands on his apron, and stepped up to the counter, resting his elbow against the ancient cash register. “It’s been a long time, my friend. Where the hell have you been?”

Julian gave Antonio a devilish grin. “Life’s taken me places I wasn’t expecting. This is my friend, Skylar.”

Antonio smiled wide. “Pleased to meet you, Skylar. You want Julian’s usual or are you ordering separately?”

Julian looked questioningly at Skylar.

“Could you make mine ham and pineapple?” Skylar’s voice rang through the empty pizza place. When both Julian's and Antonio’s expressions closed off, she laughed. “I’m kidding. Julian’s usual, whatever it is, is fine. I’m not picky when it comes to pizza, especially the best pizza in the city. Plus, it will give some insight into who the Sex God of Manhattan truly is.”

To her surprise, Julian’s cheeks flushed slightly. Because of his nickname?

Interesting.

Antonio laughed. “I like you already, Skylar, friend of Jay’s. I’ll have the usual right up. What about drinks?”

“I wanted the pizza To Go. Is that okay with you, Skylar?”

He’d surprised her yet again. She wanted to ask him what was going on, why they weren’t having sex like she’d thought they would be, but she couldn’t really do that in front of Antonio; despite what one might think after she’d already humiliated herself in front of both her boss and that Regina woman yesterday, Skylar was not into public displays of there’s a woman that needs to see a good therapist and stat.

“Um, sure, that’s fine.”

“But we can have a drink while we wait. Antonio doesn’t have your favorite wine, but the house red is good,” Julian said.
