Michael laughed loud and hard.“You mean the ass stuff.The spanking.”
“Yes, now will you keep your voice down.”She guided them into the restaurant, knowing the conversation would be closed now in such a crowded place.“Table for two, please.”
Andrea had barely slid into the booth across from Michael before he spoke.“What were you thinking about it?”
“Can you just drop it?”She didn’t want to talk about it here.
“Did you not like what we did?”he asked, a furrow forming between his eyebrows.
“I did,” she assured him.“It’s all just…new,” she finished, not knowing how else to explain it.“Now can you please drop it?”
“Yes, we’ll drop it.”
“Thank you.”
They ordered their meal and two coffees.Michael drank his black where she added three sugar packets and four creams.
She took a hearty swallow, ignoring the burn and savoring the caffeine.
“So how was work last night?”
Andrea felt her ire start to rise thinking about last night.It wasn’t the fact it had been busy.It always was on the weekends; that’s why she worked them.It was good tip money.It wasn’t the grabby customers; she was used to them and knew how to handle them.It was the three guys who’d showed up and cornered her, propositioning her.
“It was fine.Nothing exciting.”
“No grabby customers?”
Andrea strove to look casual.“There are always those, but I know how to handle them.”
“I’ve only been there the once.What kind of people come in?”
“What do you mean?”
“Bikers?College eds?”
“A mix of everything really.”There was no specific group that came in more than any other.
“Hey, what’s this?”Michael took her hand and held it up, revealing a small bruise around her wrist.Right where the guy had grabbed her last night.The bouncers were good about watching out for the women, so she hadn’t been that fearful.It was what the guys had said that worried her more.
“One of those grabby customers who didn’t like hearing no.”Andrea shrugged.
“You should learn some self-defense.Drop him to his knees.He’ll learn his lesson then.”
“Eh,” she shrugged again, “we have the bouncers for that.”
“What if they find you walking down the street?”
Andrea hadn’t had any problems in the years she had lived here.She wasn’t going to start worrying about it now.“I’ll think about it,” she said, hoping it would get him to drop the subject.
“Good.”He took a sip of his coffee.“Not that I’m complaining, but are you ever going to explain to me why you called me early this morning asking for my dick instead of sleeping?”
“Like I said, I couldn’t sleep.”Normally after a late night at work, she could sleep half the day away, but after a few short hours, she’d been up.After hours of tossing and turning, she’d given up and thought of something relaxing, surprised it turned out to be Michael she thought of, and then she went from relaxing to horny.She’d surprised even herself when she’d called him.
Hearing his sexy sleep-driven voice went straight to her core.She knew if anyone could help relax her, it was him, and damned if he hadn’t turned her into a puddle of mush.
She would have finally fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion if her stomach hadn’t grumbled, reminding her she hadn’t eaten much the day before but some pizza.
But Michael had done exactly what she had hoped.Made her forget about her confrontation with those men.That was until he’d asked about her night.
