isn’t as strong, that love is even stronger.”
He smiled. “You do have a point.”
I smelled a rose and sighed. Now I couldn’t wait until Thursday.

Since Janet had become serious with Scott, they started running together every morning. Therefore, our gym sessions were over. But I didn’t mind. I knew she was happy with Scott so I was happy for her. And she said they had morning sex in the shower after every run, so I definitely couldn’t hold that against her. I missed having sex. I couldn’t even remember what it felt like anymore. Had it changed since I was last in the game?
When I thought about Tony, the idea of sex wasn’t far behind. Having sex with him seemed like it would be easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t explain why, but I was innately comfortable around him. I liked him as a person, and I liked him as someone in the bedroom. That was a first for me. I never liked someone’s personality and was insanely attracted to them at the same time. It was usually one or the other. Perhaps that was why my last boyfriend left me. I didn’t like thinking about it. I pushed the thought away.
When Tony knocked on my door, my heart exploded. I was nervous. I checked my hair in the mirror one more time before I answered the door. Since we were going to dinner, I put on a nice dress that complemented my skin tone. It highlighted the right curves in the right places. I really wanted him to kiss me so I was putting all my cards on the table.
I opened the door and smiled.
He stared at my face then his gaze moved to my body. Tony blatantly checked me out, taking in my every curve. I felt the heat from his eyes as they drilled into me. I tried to think of something to say but I was at a loss for words. He wore a t-shirt and jeans, and he looked sexy like he always did. I couldn’t believe he was Janet’s brother. He was too hot to be related to her.
Tony stepped inside and shut the door behind me. Without speaking, he came to me then placed his hands on my waist, feeling the fabric of my dress. My heart was racing so fast, I thought it would give out. When he pressed his face close to mine, I breathed heavily. I waited for it, knowing it was coming.
He cupped my face and pressed his lips against mine. I took a deep breath when I felt his soft lips. He parted mine then kissed me softly, his mouth breathing into me. I knew he was a good kisser but I wasn’t expecting this. I actually felt my knees go weak. Tony rubbed his nose against mine for a moment, looking at me. Then he returned to kissing me. No tongue was involved but it was still sensual, loving. I felt a quiet sigh escape my lips. I missed being touched like this. I had been dormant for so long, and now my hibernation had ended. The heat surged back into me. I placed my hands on his chest and felt the solid wall underneath this shirt. I moaned again as I kissed him. I was insanely attracted to him. The area between my legs burned.
Tony broke the kiss then stared at me. “You’re a good kisser,” he whispered.
“You’re even better.”
“I liked hearing you moan.”
My cheeks blushed.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have done that before dinner.”
“Why?” My hands were still on his chest.
“Now I don’t want dinner.” His hands touched my waist, his fingers rubbing into my muscles. “You’re so small.”
“Thanks.”
“You’re perfect.”
“I’m far from perfect. I have too many flaws to count.”
“Maybe all the flaws make you perfect. I like real women, humble women.”
I stared at his lips, wanting him to kiss me again.
“One more,” he whispered. He leaned in and pressed his mouth against mine. I immediately dug my fingers into his hair, wanting to savor the moment before it ended. The heat flushed through my body and the frostbite melted. Now I was only hungry for dessert.
Tony pulled away. “Are you ready?”
I nodded.
“Then let’s go.”
I sighed, wishing we would stay here.
We left the apartment and went to a
