who the caller was.
    Fuck! After the text message he received earlier, he knew he should take this call.
    "I'm sorry, Jess. I have to take this. Will you excuse me?"
    "Sure."
    He stood up and hurried away from their table. He didn't want Jessa to hear this conversation.
    "Andrea, what's up?"

CHAPTER FOUR

    Jessa watched Rob's back as he took the phone call. He raked his free hand on his hair and she felt the need to rake her own fingers there.
    Ooh, and he has great ass…
    She was already thinking how good it would be if Rob was in Sydney more often. She'd miss him when he wasn't around.
    She frowned at the direction of her thoughts. Dangerous territory. Sex only, remember? Stick to that.
    This man just had a magnetism that pulled her to him. Of course she knew he was just being seductive when he called her 'gorgeous' and 'beautiful'. He probably said that to all the women he wanted to bed. But it was still nice to hear it. It was good for her memory banks when she replayed her fantasy experience back to herself in the future.
    Their main dishes arrived, distracting her from ogling Rob's backside.
    Exasperation lined his features as he walked back to their table. He gave her a reassuring smile in response to the concerned look on her face.
    "Is everything all right?"
    "Not really," Rob answered with a sigh. "Well, everything will be all right. But unfortunately, there's something I need to attend to in twenty minutes. I'm afraid we'll have to cut our date short tonight," he said with an apologetic smile.
    Jessa felt her balloon burst. She was so looking forward to tonight. Her fantasy experience would not be completed! But whatever it was that required Rob's attention, it must be something urgent and important.
    "That's a shame," she said lightly. "But that's okay. I hope whatever it is you have to attend to is nothing serious."
    Rob simply gave her a tight smile in response.
    She fell silent as she consumed her food. She couldn't fully appreciate her meal. She was too disappointed at the turn of events.
    "I'm really sorry, Jess," Rob said softly. "We won't even have time for dessert. This wasn't how I wanted this night to end."
    "Me either." She caught Rob looking longingly at her lips. Geez, she'd been wanting to devour his lips instead of her dinner.
    "How exactly did you want this night to end?" Rob asked, his voice husky.
    She gazed into Rob's arresting gray eyes. The butterflies in her stomach fluttered deliciously at the intense look he was directing at her.
    "I didn't want it to end at dessert," she whispered.
    They stared at each other for a long moment. The room seemed to disappear for Jessa. When Rob reached out and cupped the back of her neck, she swayed towards him and their lips touched rapturously. It ended much too soon. Being in a restaurant did not aid their cause.
    "Damn," Rob muttered. He signalled the waiter for the bill, handing him his credit card. "Where did you park your car?"
    "The same place as last time."
    Rob checked his watch and growled his displeasure. "Well, I only have time to walk you to the lifts."

    Jessa's heart grew heavier at every step she took towards the elevators. She was disheartened that their night was cut short, but she didn't expect the acute sadness that enveloped her at the knowledge that Rob would be gone by tomorrow. This could well be their very last time together, their very last date.
    They reached the elevators and she turned towards Rob. She wasn't ready to press the down button yet. She was dying to put her arms around his neck and kiss him thoroughly, but she refrained. A gray-haired lady was standing in a corner, talking on her phone and staring at them openly.
    Rob had no such inhibitions. He cupped her face and kissed her with barely restrained passion. It only took a second for her to banish her self-consciousness and return his kiss with equal fervour.
    She gasped as Rob pressed his body closer to hers. He was already aroused, and frankly, so was she. She
