**********

At exactly seven o’clock, I heard the beep of a car horn in my driveway, and when I peeked out between the blinds, I saw Eric Castle behind the wheel of a black Escalade.

Before I could lose my nerve, I grabbed my purse and breezed out the door to the waiting vehicle, as if I did this sort of thing every day.

I took deep breaths in through my nose and out through my mouth as I made my way to the passenger side door, hoping to calm my racing heart and cool my flushed face.

“Well, aren’t you as pretty as a picture?” Eric asked as I opened the door and climbed up into the luxury SUV. “Glad to see you wore something nice, as requested.”

Something stirred inside of me at his words, but I couldn’t tell if I was feeling irritation or excitement – that’s how confused and crazy this man was making me.

“Thank you, Mr. Castle,” I said softly as I buckled my seatbelt. “I wanted to look professional for our dinner.”

He looked at me with an arched eyebrow. “Message received. It’s all about business. But please call me Eric, no matter what kind of dinner we’re about to have. I don’t need to feel any older than I already am.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright then. Thank you, Eric.”

“You’re very welcome, Megan.”

I waited for him to back out of the driveway, but he just sat there and looked at me. I felt the ball of heat at my core that never really went away grow bigger and hotter.

My skin was tingling and I could feel his eyes crawling up and down my body, drinking in every detail of me as I sat there in silence.

I knew it should feel creepy being stared at like that, especially by my boss, but there was an ever increasing part of me that was enjoying it. I was glad I’d spent extra time on choosing my outfit and doing my makeup.

I’d gone with a flowing summer dress that showcased my curves in all the best ways. My strappy pumps were sexy without being slutty and I’d done my face up in a similar way – just enough to accentuate what nature had given me.

“You look beautiful,” Eric finally said in a thick voice before clearing his throat and putting the car into gear. “I think you’ll like the restaurant where we’re going.”

I’d thought for a moment there that he was going to lean over and kiss me, and I was surprised by the disappointment I felt when he didn’t.

“I’m sure that I will,” I mumbled and turned my eyes to face forward. “I expect it’s just right for a business dinner.”

I saw Eric turn and look at me, but I kept my gaze on the road in front of us. I’d obviously made a mistake in thinking this was about more than saving the Kettle Auto Group.

But then he pulled up to a stoplight and I felt the heavy warmth of his hand on my shoulder, and I turned to look into those piercing blue eyes of his.
