Thankfully, the rest of the dinner went well. Jonah had been worried that the whole evening would be ruined, but the opposite turned out to be true. Uptight Emma seemed to finally, truly relax. All her secrets were out in the open and lifting that burden had an almost-physical impact on her. She smiled more, flirted happily through dinner by sharing bites of her food and making eyes at him, and didn’t once refer to him as Mr. Flynn.

All their issues weren’t behind them, but they were able to at least focus on enjoying each other’s company tonight and worrying about the rest tomorrow. With that thought in mind, Jonah directed the pilot to land on his building’s rooftop instead of returning them to the heliport.

When they touched down, Emma frowned out the window. “Where are we?”

“My place.” He opened the helicopter door and offered his hand to help her.

Suspicion wrinkled her nose, but she still accepted his hand and stepped out onto his rooftop with him. They hustled away from the helicopter and over to the door. He led her down a set of stairs and out onto the landing where the entrance to his penthouse loft was located.

“Wait a minute,” Emma said as she stared at the door.

“What?”

“This was your place? Where the Mardi Gras party was held?”

“Yes,” he replied as he reached out to unlock the door. Jonah didn’t hold many parties at his loft in Tribeca, but the Mardi Gras shindig had been one of them. “You don’t think I’m tacky enough to seduce a woman in someone else’s laundry room, do you?”

Emma’s cheeks flushed bright red at the mention of their impulsive encounter. “I didn’t really think about it. Although now that you mention it, I think Harper did say that party was at her boss’s place. I assumed she meant the head of finance, not the CEO’s apartment.”

“I was right under your nose the whole time,” Jonah said. He pushed open the door and gestured her in ahead of him. He followed behind, watching her as she studied the open, industrial space he’d fallen in love with the first time he toured it.

“It looks different without a hundred people crammed in here. It’s huge.”

“It takes up the whole top floor,” Jonah explained. “Originally, I think this building was some sort of textile factory. When I bought it ten years ago, part of it had been converted to offices and shops and the top two floors were a storage warehouse. I ended up turning the whole thing into loft apartments with shared common areas on the ground floor.”

Emma stopped and turned to face him. “You own the whole building?”

Jonah nodded and slipped out of the suit coat that had been irritating him all evening. He was hot-blooded and the suit on top of the long-sleeved shirt and glasses of wine had him almost at the point of sweating.

“If I listened to nothing else my mother, the great Angelica Flynn, told me, I did learn to diversify my investments.
