“Wow. I would understand completely if you wanted to stop seeing me.”

She leans back into her seat as my mom and sister head to the exit. “It was pretty rough.” She glances out of the corner of her eye and laughs.

“I’m serious,” I groan. “I thought they were out for the night.” I’ve done a lot of crazy things, but this one takes the cake. The one woman I see spending the rest of my life with, and she’s going to run for the hills.

“I know.” She sobers and shifts in her seat to face me. “I know you wouldn’t intentionally humiliate me or do something to hurt me. I might have pegged you for a jerk when we first met–”

“And I didn’t help matters by continuing to act like an ass.”

“No.” She tilts her head and bites down on her bottom lip. “You didn’t, but I wasn’t at my best either. I intentionally goaded you so I could be right about you. But you’ve gone out of your way to prove you aren’t who I thought you were. And you didn’t have to. Watching you with your family was enough.” She leans over and kisses my cheek. “You’re a good man.”

“Thank you.” I wrap my arms around her and pull her to my chest. “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you.”

She snuggles against me, and it feels right. She feels right.

Right seems like such a boring word to describe how I feel, but I can’t come up with something better.

“It was awkward, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.” She glances up at me, and my stomach drops to my feet. She’s proving to be everything I wasn’t supposed to be looking for. “I would have kinky, rough, hot, crazy sex with you anywhere. Anytime.”

“A girl after my own heart.” I cup her cheek and give her a light kiss, and pull back. I’m not about to put her in another awkward situation, especially in public. It’s one thing for my family to give her a hard time, but I’m not about to let the public or entertainment reporters drag her name through the mud.

She straightens and laces her fingers through mine. “I like your mom. She’s sweet.”

“She likes you. A lot.” If I ruin things with her, I’ll never hear the end of it. My mom pretty much shipped us the second she laid eyes on her. Not that I blame her. Charlotte is classy.

The waiter steps up to our table. “Would either of you like dessert?”

Before she can decline, I say, “Absolutely. Give us two glasses of red wine and a slice of red wine cake.”

“Right away.” He turns on his heel in his impeccably dressed suit and retreats to the kitchen without writing anything down.

A man and woman at the next table glance at us and whisper. I’m used to it, but I don’t think Charlotte is ready for the public eye. Do we leave so I can shield her from it or ignore it?

“I don’t need dessert.
