My heart thunders as Connor strides toward me and Simone at our private table in the corner. I knew the moment he arrived because security sent the message to Simone. She immediately sent everyone else away from the table. I’ve been practically vibrating in anticipation ever since.

She speaks under her breath. “He hauls his ass all the way from Brooklyn, leaving the Yanks in a tie game. Girl, he’s into you. And fi-i-ine. Mmm-hmm.”

I leap from my seat, fueled by the adrenaline of anticipating him for the last hour.

I meet him halfway, my breath quickening as our gazes lock. He’s here. All of my angst over him vanishes. My brain seems to take a hike when I’m close to him, a welcome relief. “Thank you for coming.”

He dips his head, kissing my cheek. “Good to see ya. Think I’ll pass best-friend inspection?” He holds his arms out, inviting me to check him out. He’s gorgeous, sexy, intoxicating. I want him so freaking bad.

“Your blue shirt brings out your eyes,” I say by way of covering up my intense lust. He’s wearing a long-sleeved button-down shirt open at the collar, exposing the notch between his collarbones that I’ve tasted. A low ache of desire builds as I take in his slim waist in belted dark gray trousers with black dress shoes. Such a gorgeous man.

He tips my chin up. “Thank you.”

“Everything brings out your eyes. They’re this incredible blue,” I blurt.

He smiles, his eyes lighting up, those tiny crinkles forming around them. “I like your dress. You look beautiful.”

“Thanks. How old are you?”

He drops an arm over my shoulders and kisses my temple. “Google didn’t tell you?”

I’d like to put some righteous indignation into my voice, but can’t manage it. The truth is, I tried to do thorough research on him only to get caught up in how handsome he looked in his tux. “I’m asking you.”

He shifts us, walking with me toward Simone. He recognized her, as just about everyone does nowadays. She gives me a big smile and a double thumbs-up. My cheeks flame. Could she be more obvious? And it’s a little early to give the thumbs-up. He just got here. She hasn’t even spoken to him yet.

“I’m twenty-eight,” he says.

“That’s good.”

“Is it? How old did you think I was?”

“Around my age, but I just wanted to be sure. I like knowing all the facts. Simone asked.” I’m babbling because I’m basically about to put the whole teacher-student situation up for Simone’s inspection. I know it looks bad, and I know it’s risky. It’s my job on the line with tremendous potential fallout both personally and professionally.

Simone rushes over to us, giving him her full-wattage pop-star smile. “Hi! I’m Simone. So great to meet you.”

He takes his arm off me to shake her hand. “You too. I’m Connor.”

“I know.” She smiles, looking from me to Connor. “Come, have a seat.” She gestures to the table. We follow her there. She tells us to sit in the two close-together seats, where she and I were sitting, and then pulls a third seat over next to my other side.
