Nash chuckled. “You set off the beast in me.” His eyes darkened.

“Did I? Well, how is the beast going to make it up to me? Being woken up isn’t nice.”

“Do you like steak?”

“Who doesn’t?”

“Let me cook you dinner. My buddy gets great cuts from his father, a local butcher.”

“I run a food blog. Did you know that?”

“Maybe. Look, I don’t know what’s happening, but I feel a strong need to impress you.”

A zing ran through my entire body.

“So, if I tell you I like to garden, you’re going to start a beautiful indoor greenhouse or something?”

“Very funny. But I draw the line at plants. We don’t get along.”

“Good. I need to be better than you thansomething.”

“Dinner. My place. Tonight. Now go get some sleep. I’ll drop your bucket by later.”

But I didn’t go back to sleep.

At least not until I had several orgasms, all while thinking ofhim.

CHAPTER THREE

Nash

Okay,so maybe the fake snow was a little over the top. But after discovering it online, I couldn’t resist.

A delivery at that early hour wasn’t the kindest thing to do, but it was an easy way to offer her a date. How could she say no to a steak dinner?

besides a little online research led me to her food blog and while I didn’t stay up all night reading it or anything (who had time for that?) I discovered a good steak dinner was one of her top favorites.

Considering one of my buddies dropped me off fresh cut ribeyes often, I’d gotten pretty good at cooking them. Perfected it, actually.

After a few hours decorating in the yard, I headed inside to work and prep dinner. I invited Aubrey over for seven, so I had plenty of time to boil the potatoes and marinate the meat.

I showered, trimmed my beard, dressed in jeans, a tight t-shirt and button down, and patted on my best aftershave.

At exactly six fifty-eight, my doorbell rang and when I opened the door, my mouth dropped.

holy shit.

if I thought she was pretty before God damn, did I think she was gorgeous now.

“You clean up nice.” I said as I ushered her inside, her scent even stronger than it usually was.

“As do you,” Aubrey pierced me with her gaze, her tongue darting out between her lips.

I helped her with her coat, revealing a sexy black dress, the skirt falling just above her knees. Her curves filled the dress stunningly, and my dick, the one making his presence known a lot lately, throbbed in my pants.

Jerking off twice in the shower didn’t seem to help much, apparently.

Black nylons covered her legs down to her strappy sandals and a sheer black cardigan covered her bare shoulders. Her beautiful chestnut tresses hung down her back and simple earrings, and a necklace completed her look.
