The Taming (Wild Cats Part Two): Erotic Romance Series Read Online Free PDF Page B

something that drew Dalton’s attention to her instantly. He continued to watch her as she timidly ordered her latte and paid for it. 
    When the woman turned from the cashier and looked around the room, Dalton saw that she was young, probably in her mid-twenties, and her face was quite pretty. He saw a dismayed look cross her face as she looked around for a vacant spot to sit.
    As her eyes glanced in his direction, he found that he was signaling her. She looked very startled, like she almost didn’t believe that he was trying to get her attention.
    When she did finally comprehend that little bit of knowledge, she made her way slowly to his table, puzzlement evident in every step she took. 
    “Hi, there,” Dalton said in a friendly manner.
    He flashed his sexiest smile. 
    “I’m Dalton Sands. Since I have this whole table to myself, would you do me the honor of joining me?”
    “Hi, I’m Rose. Uh, Rose Addison. This is very kind of you, Mr. Sands,” Rose managed to say as she sat down in the chair across the table from him. “I always get here during the really crowded hours so I almost never get a seat.” 
    “First of all, Mr. Sands is my father. Please call me Dalton, and I’m actually pleased to have your company.” 
    He watched as Rose lived up to her name in the delightful way; she was blushing at that very moment. Her bright blue eyes quickly looked down, long black lashes brushing her face. 
    “Very well, Dalton,” she finally replied. “I’m also very happy to be joining you.” 
    They sat in companionable silence for a few minutes as they both enjoyed their coffee. Dalton made a few surreptitious glances at her from under his own lashes.
    She was a rather strange girl, he decided.
    Pretty, but shy, Rose wasn’t like the women whom he came into contact with normally. She wasn’t trying to take over the conversation or aggressively hit on him. 
    In fact, she truly didn’t seem to know whom she even was. 
    Eventually, they began to talk in the way that strangers do when they don’t know each other. Dalton found out that Rose worked in the Human Resources department of his building. She wasn’t from the city and was still getting used to living there even though she had been a resident for three years.
    He found her refreshing.
    She was pretty without being flamboyant, intelligent without trying to show off, and very unassuming. He was relieved that she seemed happy enough to answer his questions about her and wasn’t trying to find out more about him. 
    It was a little soon for him to let her know his true identity because he was becoming more aware that he wanted to know a bit more about this Rose. 
    Dalton had long ago given up on true relationships. He had discovered that women simply weren’t in line with what he needed in his life.
    In fact, he wasn’t even sure what he needed to fill this void within him. 
    Of course, he had intimate encounters with women. After all, he was a healthy man with certain physical needs. But none of those women ever meant anything to him other than as a way to kill time and find release. Some of those women were so in charge, so to speak, that it felt like he was going out with another man. 
    He was starting to see that Rose was different from other women.
    Dalton was a man that liked to be in control.
    He had a feeling that Rose was in need of a man to guide her. 

Chapter Two
    BY the time they were done with their coffee, Dalton was certain that he wanted to see more of Rose.
    He had a feeling that he needed to act quickly or she would glide right out of his life and he would never see her again. 
    Whatever he was going to do, he realized that he had better do it soon because Rose was getting up to leave. 
    “Thank you so much for allowing me to join you, Dalton,” Rose said quietly as she gave him a pretty smile. 
    “Oh, the pleasure was all mine,” Dalton responded. “Actually, I was wondering what you’re doing for dinner.”
    Rose
