“Hush, Jamie,” Charlotte mutters with a frown on her forehead. “I’d like for Nova to come back after today.”
“What? It’s a question every woman wants to hear the answer to,” she defends herself. “Easton never dated, no matter how hard every single mother at the school tried to get his attention.”
“It’s okay, Charlotte,” I say. With a polite smile, I reply, “Obviously, it’s a dream come true. Easton is an amazing man. He really has a way of making me feel loved and protected.”
Jamie looks like she’s sucked on a lemon while the other women practically swoon, and I take it as a sign that I’ve won this round.
Jane leans a little forward, hanging onto my every word. “And?”
“That’s it. I’m not sharing anything else,” I reply while chuckling. “We’d like to keep our personal lives as private as possible.”
Charlotte steers the conversation to what’s happening in the kids’ lives, and I let out a relieved sigh.
Yep, I’m getting the hang of being a Beverly Hills mom and representing Easton in social settings.
Rachel would be so proud of me.
Easton
When we walk into the restaurant, Nova asks, “Why are there no other people?”
“I booked the entire place for us so we wouldn’t be interrupted every five seconds,” I mutter.
The manager of the restaurant smiles at us, then she says, “Mr. Rowe, it’s such a pleasure to have you here. Please have a seat. Your server will be with you shortly.”
“Thank you,” I murmur as I lead Nova to our table.
My woman’s wearing a stunning cream pantsuit, so I’m happy there aren’t many men around because her cleavage is next-level sexy.
Slowly, her style has been changing, and she’s becoming more confident with her sexuality.
It’s one hell of a turn-on to watch Nova evolve into a sexy siren, but I still get her to blush in bed, and I hope that never changes.
When we reach our table, I’m satisfied to see it’s decorated with red roses and candles. I pull out a chair for the love of my life, and once she’s seated, I move my chair a little closer to hers before I sit down.
My eyes drift over her beautiful face, then I admit, “I’m the luckiest man on this planet.” I reach for her hand and hold it in mine. “You look absolutely breathtaking tonight.”
Her lips curve up. “You must really like this outfit because it’s the fourth time you’ve complimented me.”
I lean into her and brush my knuckles over her cleavage. “Can you blame me?”
“A server is coming,” she warns me, and I reluctantly pull back.
We’re given our menus, and after glancing over the selection of dishes, Nova asks, “What are you in the mood for?”
“You, but seeing as that’s not on the menu, I’ll settle for wagyu tacos and sushi.” I look at her. “What are you having?”
“Hmm ... I’ll have the wagyu tacos as well and the spinach and cream cheese dim sum.”
I gesture for the server to come closer and give our orders to her and also ask for a bottle of wine.
When we’re alone again, I turn my attention back to Nova and say, “Filming will end soon, then we’ll have to attend a premiere and a few conventions.”
She takes a sip of her water. “Will you have some time off afterward?”
I shake my head. “Right after the premiere ofThe Eradicator, I’ll begin to work on the next movie.”
“What’s it called?” she asks.
