she was running late. I watch her intently while she is on the phone. She seems nervous. Maybe it’s because of me surprising her. She might as well get used to it.
    “Want a glass of wine, Evan?”
    “Yes, please.”
    “I only have red.”
    “That’s perfect.” I walk toward her as she is pouring our wine. “I was hoping to see you today,” I tell her while she hands me my glass and she started sipping hers. The dinner date we had last night has left me powerless. I can’t think of anything else but you. My thoughts have been consumed with you all day every day since the moment I saw you, and don’t think I haven’t noticed the way your body reacts to my touch.”
    Her eyes open up as big as saucers and she downs her wine before she says, “I think about you, too.” Her words come out in a whisper. “It seems like you are on my mind a lot, but it happens at the most inadequate times of the day.”
    She looks down, looking a little embarrassed. I grab her chin and lift it so her eyes meet with mine. I lean forward and take over her mouth urging her on with a passionate kiss this time; the kiss is more aggressive on my part. She lets out a low, sexy moan. I put one of my hands around her neck with the other one still holding my glass.
    I am appalled by my shameless act of desire I have for this ravishing woman. I want her badly! We slow down the kiss but our lips are still touching and I feel her breathing getting a bit heavier.
    “What is it about you, Natalia? What are you doing to me?” I seem to be asking this question repeatedly in my mind too.
    I feel this undeniable sexual chemistry that we both can't control for each other. I let go slowly, distancing myself back a little. I realize that we cannot get sexually physical right now. We are still holding hands.
    “So what are you doing after you finish with your mother?” I ask while sipping wine and rubbing my knuckles along the cushion of her fingers.
    We get interrupted when my cell begins to ring. I take it out of my pocket, looking at the screen while I roll my eyes. I excuse myself and walk over to the door answering the phone, “What.”
    I stand there, listening to Marissa bitch on the other end. Finally, I tell her I’m in the middle of something and I will see her in a few.
    I walk back over to see Natalia with a sad face. I grab her glass and set both of our glasses down the table.
    “Let me guess, something came up and you have to go?” she asks with an annoyance.
    I pull her by her waist, bringing her close to my body. Her arms automatically go to my shoulders, wrapping around my neck. I don't answer her question; instead, I lean forward, burying my mouth in the crook of her neck. She tilts her head to the side to give me more room to nuzzle. I breathe in her scent off her skin and hair. I hold her even tighter.
    “I’m sorry. I got called to cover a shift.”
    “Okay,” she says emotionless.
    “I’m going to see you tomorrow,” I say matter-of-factly. I know I can't come back tonight. It will be another late night I’m sure of.
    “Tomorrow is Monday and I have class along with working all week,” she informs me.
    “It wasn't a question, Natalia,” I say with a stronger tone than before.
    “Why are you so controlling, Evan?”
    “That is part of who I am. It is one of the greatest qualities of mine that you will get used to.”
    “And what about if I don't like being controlled?”
    My eyebrows frown and I give her a smirk. I take both of her hands and lift them up above her head and throw her against the wall. I’m holding both of her wrists with one of mine, my other hand is sliding down the side of her body down to her hips while I completely staring at her eyes.
    My face is lined up with hers and our lips meet but don't touch. I wasn't expecting her to have a low grunt escape from her mouth. It made my dick harder than what it already was.
    “I see how your body reacts to every action I make toward you. I know you
