SOPHIA TOOK IN THE view from their very private table. The small room they sat in overlooked the water. The lights illuminated the marina filled with gorgeous yachts and boats. While she’d lived in the Rhode Island area most of her life, Newport wasn’t an area she frequented. Her parents took her there on special occasions, but she’d never eaten at a restaurant on the water.

“This view is incredible,” she said as she sipped her pomegranate martini. “When you said we were eating on the water you really meant it.”

“Some of the guys take their wives here when they want privacy. The staff is very accommodating.” He took her hand. “I’m glad you approve.”

“This is a great first date.”

“I wanted to thank you for not jumping to conclusions this afternoon. That meant a lot to me.”

“At first I didn’t know what to think,” she admitted. “You are a pretty popular guy.”

“That’s a nice way of putting it.”

“You built the reputation, number twenty-one.”

“I suppose I did.” He smiled as he looked down at their joined hands. “What made you decide I wasn’t being dishonest?”

“Instinct.”

It would have been easy for her to run in the opposite direction, but she didn’t believe he would hurt her like that. Not after the weekend they had. The first time they made love, the Monday morning run, and all the talking they had done. The time he spent with her father on Sunday when she and her mom cleaned the kitchen meant so much to her dad. Pax was more that the pitcher from the Crushers now. He was becoming a part of her family. He’d managed to win them all over in a matter of weeks.

“I joked about your reputation, but you’ve never been that guy with me.” He’d been jumping through hoops to convince her that he wasn’t the man who had been portrayed in the media. At least not with her.

“I don’t want to be that guy anymore, Sophia. I want be your guy.”

“Good.” She trusted him, and she was happy he knew it. “Make sure Kenny knows not to send any more strays your way or he’ll have me to deal with.”

“My girl has some fight in her.” He kissed her knuckles. “I like that.”

“Your girl knows what she wants.” She’d never been so bold before but being with him made her want it all.

“What’s that?”

“You.” She squeezed his hand. “I want you.”

“You have me.”

“Can I have another drink?” She giggled. “It’s really yummy.”

“You can have whatever you want.” He caught the attention of the waiter and pointed to her empty glass. “Just so you know I saw Kenny this afternoon and ripped him a new one. He won’t be sending any more women to my house or anyplace else. It was a bit hard for him to grasp that I’m off the market, but I think he gets it.”

“I’m sure it’s hard for him to accept that he’s lost a playmate, but you’re still going to be good friends. You’re just not going to prowl the bars with him anymore.
