Chapter Thirteen

“You look stunning. I couldn’t take my eyes off you when you walked through the door.” Sterling’s warm breath whispered against the back of her neck as he pulled out her chair. “I swear every man turned and stared when you walked past their tables. You look like a vision.”

Sasha wasn’t really concerned about what the other men in the high-priced restaurant thought about her. She was here for one reason only: to put Sterling out of her heart.

“Thank you,” she said as Sterling sat down in front of her. She tried not to notice how gorgeous he looked in his dark blue suit. “I have to be honest with you about something. I almost cancelled on you at the very last minute.”

“Why would you think about not coming?” he asked, shocked and sitting up straighter in his chair.

She wasn’t going to lie to him. If he wanted honesty then he was going to get it. “After what happened at work, I wasn’t sure why you asked me out on a date and then kissed me at Luxury. It only confused me even more. What kind of game are you trying to play, because I’m not going to be a part of it.”

Sterling’s hand reached across the table and tried to touch hers, but she moved it away, placing it inside her lap. There was no need for him to touch her. She wasn’t going to get distracted by touches or well-rehearsed words.

He closed his hand and then reopened it, placing it flat on the table. “Sasha, I know you are having problems believing─”

“You’re right. I find all of this very hard to believe. One minute you’re pushing me away and then days later you’re kissing me in my sister’s office. I won’t allow you to play with my feelings. You knew I had feelings for you, but you didn’t care.”

“Sweetheart, you’re wrong,” he vehemently denied. “I’ve been waiting to kiss you for a while. I loved what happened between yesterday. I thought about it all last night. Shit, I even had dreams about it going further. Honestly, I hated your sister barging in on us.”

Sasha sucked in a quick sharp breath. She was amazed at the thrill Sterling’s confession gave her, but she quickly tamed her happiness. His personality was such an ever-changing mystery. She honestly didn’t know what he was going to do from one moment to the next. Now, he was excited about their kiss, but tomorrow could be an entirely different story.

“You’ve never acted like you wanted to kiss me before,” she tossed out, wanting the truth for once and all.

Leaning back in his seat, Sterling eyed her for a few seconds before answering her question. “I guess I’m better at hiding my reaction towards you than I thought, sweetheart. Sasha, I have wanted you since the first time I laid eyes on you, but you never acted like you saw me as more than your boss, until recently. I don’t mind working to get a woman’s attention, but I wasn’t going to get shot down either.
