“AsamI.”
Will grabbed my hand, starting to draw circles on my palm with his thumb. “I've been looking for you for alongtime.”
I sighed, leaning back into the cushioned booth. “I’ve been right here thiswholetime.”
His eyes met mine, and they were filled with sincerity as he spoke in a low voice. “Trust me, I know. I am finally seeing it, truly and completelyseeingyou.”
Our serve came over to get our order. Right as Will was about to order for us, I stopped him. “Why don’t we blow this joint, grab some pizza, and head back to your apartment? This place is not either of our cupoftea.”
Crosby threw his menu down and pulled out his credit card. “You heardthelady.”
“I’ll be right backwiththis.”
The server huffed off and Crosby grabbed my hand. “Are you trying to make me fall for you onnightone?”
I quickly pecked his cheek. “Maybe.”
Chapter10
Crosby
Icouldn’t getJordan back to my place fast enough. After grabbing a pepperoni pie from the pizzeria down the block from my building, we were finally walking out of the elevator into myapartment.
“I’ve got wine in the kitchen. Red or white?” I asked, slipping my shoes off. It wasn’t the first time Jordan had been to my place, but it felt like it was because of how nervous I was to have her there. I was so thankful I’d had the maid come while I was in Boston—I would have been so embarrassed if Jordan had seen the pigsty my placeusuallywas.
“Surprise me,” she said, setting the pizza box down on thetable.
I quickly poured us two glasses of zinfandel and joined her again. “Why don’t we eat this in bed and find a good movie towatch?”
“Yes!” She grabbed the food and a couple of napkins. “Best firstdateever!”
“I’m really glad youthinkso.”
Jordan kicked off her heels and jumped into my plush king-sized bed. Right then all of my apprehension flew out the window. We were the same two friends we always had been, but now we were just kicking our relationship up a notch. I felt silly for how much I had let myself overthink the situation. It was turning out to be absolutely amazing, and I didn’t want to miss a second of it because I wasworrying.
We settled on watchingA Walk to Remember, and it was so adorable how Jordan knew all the words. She even started laughing before the funny parts even happened. It would never have been my first choice in movies, but when her face lit the fuck up as I scrolled passed it, there was no way I wasn’t going to put it on. I wasn’t really interested in watching the movie anyway—I wanted towatchher.
Jordan caught me staring at her. “What?” She narrowed her gazeatme.
“I’m justadmiringyou.”
She bounced closer to me, grabbing another slice. “Admiring my fat ass devouring thispizza.”
“If you ever call yourself fat again in my presence, I will punish you.” My mind tripped to the thought of spanking her little bratty ass, making my dick twitch alittle.
“Is that so?” she teased, bitingherlip.
“A spanking a day keeps the brattiness away.” I winked at her, grabbing the top of her thigh. “I like you,littlegirl.”
“Oh yeah? How much?” she asked with pizza still rolling around in hermouth.
I grabbed the slice from her hand, tossed it back into the box, and threw the entire thing onto the floor. I let my fingers weave into her short, dark hair while I growled in her ear. “How about Ishowyou.”
She relaxed her shoulders, letting me drag her to the end ofthebed.
“You’re going to be a good girl and let Daddy have his way withyou,okay?”
Shenodded.
