“To get you out of this house again.”
I hesitated.
He caught it immediately.
“Don’t worry.”
His tone softened just a little.
“I promise nobody will see you that matters.”
I studied him for a moment. “Okay.”
He walked over and sat across from me.
Took a slow pull from his vape.
Then casually reached across the table and stole a bite of my sandwich.
I smacked his hand lightly.
“That’s mine.”
He grinned. “And you’re beautiful.” He took another bite.
CHAPTER 46
Ares
LATER THAT NIGHT…
“This Night Belonged To Me”
The restaurant sat tucked into a small street.
Candlelight. Soft music. The kind of place where people spoke low and slow, and nobody rushed anything.
I sat across from Yuna at a small table near the window.
She wore a white veil tonight.
Light and elegant, draped over her face just enough to hide her identity in public.
I respected the veil.
If she didn’t want the world seeing her yet, the world didn’t get to.
But the rest of her…
Her dress.
Her diamonds.
Her high ass heels.
She looked rich.
Dangerously so.
