Hmm. He’d have to see about that. In the meantime, he settled for living dangerously. With one hand, he plucked her coffee cup from her grasp while the other arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her up onto her tip-toes so he could brush a soft kiss across her lips.

“I have to get going. Be good, and I’ll see you tonight.”

He allowed himself another whisper of a kiss before he handed her back her coffee cup and turned to leave.

Your move, babygirl.

Chapter Six

Sam

Emma:

Wanna meet for lunch?

Sam grinned down at her phone and tapped the screen to open the message from one of her closest friends.

Sam:

Yes. Somewhere with cocktails.

Emma:

Oooh, man trouble or work trouble? Or both? I bet it’s both, you slut.

Sam:

Just pick a restaurant, would you?

Emma:

Fine, fine. Ahhh, how about the Wild Peach? They have an excellent bellini.

Sam:

Works for me. 12?

Emma:

Make it 12:15

Sam:

Perfect. See you then!

Thankfully, her morning so far was going a hell of a lot better than the day before. Other than being even more confused about Dylan than she had been, not to mention the lingering embarrassment of asking him to fuck her and then acting like a bratty Little girl when he’d denied her, that was. Then there was the ‘talk’ he’d promised her tonight.

If anyone was entitled to a lunchtime breakdown, Sam figured it was her.

At noon on the dot, she ducked out of the office, narrowly missing her asshole of a boss on her way out the door. She was just sliding into a booth at the Wild Peach when Emma came hurrying up, all gorgeous curves and perfect hair, as usual. Normally, Sam felt put together and professional, but next to Emma she often felt downright frumpy.

“Oh my god, you look amazing. Is that a new outfit?” Beaming, Emma shimmied into the booth across from Sam and gestured at the baby blue top she’d dug out of her closet that morning.

“This? I have no idea, actually. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it in my closet forever.”

“Well, you should wear that color more often. Makes your eyes pop. I’mstarving, have you ordered yet?”

“No, I just got here.”
