“Hm. Too bad for you.”
He goes back to his phone, and I pout. Why is he being so difficult right now?
The food comes a short time later, and though I have no idea what I’m looking at, it’s the most delicious thing I’ve ever put in my mouth, and I am seventy-seven percent sure it’s chicken and not fish. Though, I could be wrong because I’ve never had chicken so juicy and soft before…
We’re on our second glasses of wine, the bottle finished, when the waiter takes our plates.
“Can I get you another bottle of wine?” he asks.
“Yes!” I say too excitedly.
The waiter looks to Harmon for permission. He flicks his wrist, giving him a face that sayswhatever he wants.
Damn right, it’s whatever I want. This is my one and only weekend to be spoiled by a rich guy. If this doesn’t work out with Harmon, maybe I should consider being an escort.
“So,” I start, leaning forward on the table. “If I order dessert, will you feed it to me?”
Okay, nowthatis definitely the alcohol talking.
“This is your idea of fun?”
“I’ll lick it off your cock.”
“Christ, Cassius,” he says.
“What? I’m serious.”
“Not for a second did I think you weren’t.”
“So, is that a yes?”
His eyes narrow, and when the waiter comes back, he orders the chocolate lava cake.
To go.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
Cassius
“Putting one foot in front of the other is not so easy,” I say, staring at my feet as we walk back to our hotel.
“Stop focusing on it.”
“If I don’t, I’ll fall.”
Harmon puts his hand on my lower back, pressing firmly enough that I feel like I don’t have to stare at my feet. I’m still swaying and things are still foggy, but it’s easier than it was before.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
We make it back to the hotel without me falling or bumping into anyone. I consider it a win. Though, I can’t say it would have gone so smoothly if I wasn’t with Harmon, who is amazing at guiding someone forward.
I didn’t get to see much of the hotel suite earlier since we were in a rush, so once we’re in it, I look at every corner. Every pictureon the wall. Every piece of furniture. Of course, it’s all a little blurry…
“This is so nice. It’s crazy that people pay to just stay here…”
“Come here.”
