Chapter Seven

Cain stroked my back, standing behind me. Although only his hand was touching me, I could feel every inch of him and it took all I had not to turn around and kiss him.

“May I join you, or are you on duty?”

My inner struggle kept me quite frozen. Aimee watched our exchange, obviously delighted, and jumped in, waving her hand at the empty chair at our table. “We would love for you to join us. My name is Aimee. I think I saw you last night but we didn’t actually have a chance to meet. Of course, you know Jennifer…” Aimee seemed more nervous than I was.

Cain was impeccably dressed. Black pants hugged his body, tight in all the right places. His pinstriped grey and black shirt fitted snuggly over his barreled chest and large biceps. I took a deep breath in, inhaling his cologne, which made parts of my body sing. What was it? I had never smelled it before and from now on it would immediately have an amazing effect on me.

Cain signaled the waitress and gave her the universal sign for another around of drinks. He joined us at the table and turned his attention toward Aimee. “Do you work with Jennifer, or are you two pals outside the boardroom?”

Aimee’s merry smile stretched across her cherubic face. I could tell she was becoming lost in his gaze as well. She finally managed to speak. “Boardroom? We’ve been friends since high school, but outside of a summer gig at a Sno-Cone stand, we’ve never worked together.”

Cain chuckled a little, stopping only for a moment to thank the waitress that delivered the drinks. “So, what do you do? I mean, other than help Jennifer size up restaurant clientele?”

“I work for a marketing firm, hardly boardroom material. Jennifer’s the one with the top floor experience.” I could tell Aimee was putting her marketing spin on me, trying to sell me off to Cain. It seemed to be working.

He leaned forward in his chair and took a sip from his Crown and Ginger. “Really? Tell me more.”

I reached over and touched the sleeve of his starched shirt; I couldn’t help myself. “No cheating, Cain. That’s not fair.”

Aimee’s eyes widened. “Hey…my lips are sealed. No more info from me, Cain. You’ll have to unwrap her on your own.”

Cain chuckled. “I look forward to that.” He reached over, gently touching my fingers. Electricity flowed through my body. I wanted to feel his hands elsewhere. I couldn’t help myself. I pulled my hand away and glanced around the room. I had to find something—anything—to take my mind off of the situation.

I wasn’t used to this kind of attention; I didn’t know how to respond. But I promised myself that I would just let things happen. The music changed and I found myself somewhat moving to the rhythm. I smiled. “ I love this song.”

Without a word, Cain was standing beside me, pulling me to the small dance floor in the center of Tarrant’s. I couldn’t argue, nor did I really want to.
