know. The texting, those app things. As long as my phone can call actual people, it works just fine for me.”
    “You do know that I work for a company that produces that techy gadget stuff, right?” He enjoyed teasing her. He liked to see her get riled up and feisty. He had a taste of that over dinner and he wanted more.
    Her eyes flashed as she stared him down, even though he was at least a half-foot taller than her. “Yes, I heard you the first time, Mr. Sales Director.”
    “Director of Sales,” he corrected her, with a purposeful cocky grin. She made a frustrated sound in the back of her throat and his smile broadened. He looked back down to the phone in his hand, flipping it open. “Let me see if I can even work this thing,” he grumbled teasingly. He felt a light slap on his arm as he attempted to locate the contact list. But before her hand could retreat, he caught it with his free hand.
    She went still as his fingers lightly traced over her soft palm. He threaded their hands together, but didn’t look at her. Once he was successful in inputting his contact information, he handed her phone back to her wordlessly and took a step closer. Her phone hung limply in her other hand, forgotten, as she stared up at him.
    God, those big blue eyes.
    “I’m going to kiss you now,” he softly informed her, drawing her closer by their entwined hands. He saw that same flash of desire in her eyes, but also a vulnerability he wanted to make disappear.
    Even though he felt a small tremble in her hand, she breathlessly whispered, “Okay.” That did it for him.
    He threaded his free hand through her silky dark hair, his heart pounding in anticipation. The moment his lips touched hers she made a small sound in the back of her throat. And it was sexy as hell.
    He groaned when he felt how responsive she was to him. He could easily become addicted to her soft lips and eager mouth. He felt as though he had been kissing her his whole life. It felt so right . So completely right.
    But his body was responding quickly and he didn’t want to scare her off again. He ended the kiss reluctantly, pulling back a little to briefly kiss the soft skin of her neck. She didn’t wear any perfume, but her skin smelled like lavender. And flour. Delicious . With his mouth practically watering, he smiled against her neck when he felt the erratic pulse there. He was sure it matched his own.
    “I put my number in your phone,” he whispered against her skin. He pulled back so he could see her eyes. They were glazed over, dazed. But his gaze was quickly brought down to her slightly swollen pink lips. Unable to resist, he leaned in and lightly nibbled on her full bottom lip while she gasped. He groaned but he forced himself to pull back again, swearing he felt actual physical pain. “You’re in charge, darling.” His voice sounded rough even to his own ears. “Call me when you want to see me again. But if you don’t call me in the next few days, I just might have to come see you myself.”
    Her eyes were so clear they were like mirrors. He could see his outline in them. “Bossy,” she whispered, her sensual lips curving into a small smile.
    He had a feeling that this woman had the power to make him beg for her. The connection he felt with her was surreal. It was something he had never felt before. Not even with Julia. Definitely not with Julia.
    “Damn straight,” he replied. He kissed her quickly one last time and stepped away before he forgot they were still in public. His hand swung to his side, still warm from hers. “Goodnight, darling.”
    She looked a little unsteady at first since he had released her so quickly but she eventually gained her footing. She gave him a smile that weakened his resolve to not kiss her again. “Goodnight, Alex.”
    He waited until she disappeared into her building, his eyes intently locked to the sway of her hips.
    The woman didn’t know how sexy she was.
    But she would. And he planned to show her just how
