don’t know what she said to me!”
    “ No, I don’t. But I want to!”
    “ Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
    Henry leaned in and whispered in her ear. The things he was saying were dirty for sure, but they had nothing on the way his breath felt tickling her ear or how his fingers softly tucked her hair behind her ear to begin with. She was only able to concentrate on the words he was saying when strap-on was mentioned.
    She couldn ’t stop her laughter. What was this man’s dick made out of? Gold?
    “ You have to tell me, what is it about you that has girls flocking to your side?”
    “ I’m not sure how to take that?”
    “ I mean, I know the obvious reasons, but this is something else entirely.”
    “ I think I might just let you try and figure it out on your own. How about if we get out of here? Are you in the mood for a late night coffee?”
    The night was beginning to border into date territory, but Aubrey couldn ’t help herself. The thought of walking away before she knew all she could about him was terrifying. What if she didn’t see him again? She would stick to her rules—she would only spend one night with him. But she wanted to make it last.
    “ Let me just say bye to my friend real quick.”

    “You cannot be serious! You dunk donuts in milk or coffee. Not toast!” Henry said laughing. They had wound up at an all night coffee shop and were the only two in the place. Henry ordered his coffee with a ton of instructions, and Aubrey asked for black. She also ordered rye toast to go with it.
    “ Yes, toast. But only rye toast with tons of butter. My grandmother used to do it all the time. She finally let me try it when I was eight or so. It was the only time I was allowed coffee, and since everyone else in my family drank it, I wanted to, too. What’s it called, oh! Acquiring a taste? Yes, Rye dipped in coffee is an acquired taste.”
    “ Whatever you say,” he said while still laughing at her peculiar tastes.
    “ Hey, I didn’t say a word about your Froo-Froo coffee drink. Leave my toast alone.”
    Henry put his hands up in surrender . “Okay, Okay. No more teasing.”
    “ Thank you.”
    “ So, want to tell me why you came to the bar tonight?” he asked.
    “ Work bullshit, and I was hungry. Bridgette asked if I wanted to go, so I did.”
    “ I would say I was sorry you had bullshit drama at work, but if it got you to the bar... and to me...” 
    Why did he have to keep saying things like that to her? Didn ’t he know that she wasn’t one to fall for anyone? The flutter in her heart was violating her number one rule. No feelings. It was a choice she made. She knew she wanted more of him, but damn it, she didn’t want to be thinking of him for days after, and if he continued to talk like that, she knew she would.
    Aubrey leaned into him and placed her lips on his, very softly. Nothing that would be considered obscene, but it held a ton of promises. “Do you want to show me where you are staying tonight?”
    She figured that if she cut all the mental bonding time, it would be easier. She hadn’t planned on another one night stand so soon, but she was dying to see this man naked. It would get his words out of her head. It would. She was sure of it.
    “ Sorry, Aubrey, but no. I don’t. Let me take you home.” His words were full of defeat as if she had just failed some test she didn’t know she was taking. She had never been shot down like that before. It stung.
    “ No, I can find my own way.” She stood and left without another word.
    She took a cab back to her office and climbed into her car. Once the engine turned over, she blared the music and drove off, taking her aggression out on the road.

     
     
     
    Chapter Five
     
    It had been a whole week. A whole damn week and Henry was still on her mind. Why did she go out for coffee with him? She knew better. Emotional connections were for people who didn ’t have to travel all the time, for people with
