because the enticing glimpse of her mile-long legs will be hidden from my view. I console myself with the thought that Iâll get to see them again soon. With nothing covering them. With nothing covering
her.
She smiles politely as I plate her spaghetti and offer her a piece of bread. Her eyes follow me as I pour her a glass of red, per her request, and then pour some for myself. I love that sheâs not one of those women who pretends sheâs not attracted when she sure as hell is. Something about the way she plays, even though I can tell itâs not necessarily her nature, makes me think she could match me in passion. Honest, no-strings-attached, down-and-dirty passion.
âSo, where would you like to start?â I ask, loving the way her eyes widen the tiniest bit with her discomfort.
She takes a sip of wine and then clears her throat before she responds. Very deliberate. Iâm sure she was taught to think carefully before she speaks. Iâll break her of that if sheâll give me the chance. I want her to speak her mind, to tell me every erotic thought that passes through it, without even pausing. I donât know why I want so much to see her inhibitions die, but I do.
âWhat would you like to know?â
I arch one brow. âWhat Iâd
like to know
and what youâre
willing to tell me
are two very different things, I imagine.â
âThen what do you think Iâm willing to tell you?â
I canât help grinning. âSo cautious. Iâd love to see you let go. Do you think you might consider doing that, maybe just a little, while youâre here?â
âIâm already letting go.â
âHow so?â
âMy parents would disown me if they saw me dressed this way.â
âAnd whatâs wrong with the way youâre dressed?â I lean back, using this as an excuse to openly peruse her body. Sheâs got an amazing build. Her round, high tits press into the purple knit material of her dainty top and her narrow hips and long legs are only hinted at in the thin, flowing black skirt with slits all the way up the sides. It would be so, so easy to push that fabric up, to press my lips to the top of her thigh . . .
My cock jumps eagerly.
Jesus! I have to quit thinking about that shit at the dinner table.
âThis isnât appropriate for an OâNeal,â she says mockingly in a deep, chastising voice, her eyes cast down as she looks into the bottom of her wineglass.
âOhhh, I see. So, for you, dressing like a regular person is letting go?â
She shrugs. âSort of.â
âNot much of a rebel, are you?â I tease.
âUntil now? No.â
âAnd what makes you a rebel now, besides the clothes? And having dinner with an incorrigible rake?â
She grins and it brings out a dimple right near her mouth. Makes me want to stick my tongue in it. âAn incorrigible rake? An
incorrigible rake
? Do you read historical romances or something?â
âMaybe one or two.â
âAre you joking?â
âWhy so shocked? What better way for a guy to become acquainted with the thoughts and desires of a woman? Especially when said guy is a horny teenager. With a mom who has a stockpile of those paperbacks.â
âSo thatâs your trick?â
âNo trick.â
âYou think it worked?â
âI could say you tell me, but a decent man would never say such a thing, now would he?â
âOh, surely not,â she replies, the edges of her lips twitching.
I smile. Damn, sheâs fun.
I clear my throat and try to redirect my mind from its current dissection of what it would be like to undress her right now, lay her up on the table and devour every inch of her creamy flesh. âSo, beautiful, rebellious Weatherly, how long will you be staying with us?â
âAs long as it takes.â
Fun and interesting. âAs long as it takes for
