He didn’t even hesitate. “If you do not give me your phone number, I know people who can get it.”

I snorted. “That soundsveryspy-like.”

“I’m basically an international spy.”

I laughed, but the anticipation in my veins buzzed.

Because this man—this French, sinfully smooth, dangerously confident man—was already planning to see me again.

And I wanted him to, but before I could respond, Cosmo reappeared, smiling as he presented the first course to the whole room and tons of waiters began to bring the plates over.

I checked out the one that our waitress placed in front of us.

Interesting.

It was a glistening, indulgent plate of something rich, sauced, and sensual.

"Hello, Alchemists," Cosmo said. "For this course, we have a special rule from the chef on this Valentine’s Day evening."

He scanned the room with a mischievous smile. "No utensils allowed. You must use your hands and you also must absolutely feed each other."

A ripple of laughter and hushed excitement spread through the space.

And just like that, he was gone, leaving us with a plate of food and nothing but our fingers.

Fabien exhaled, slow and amused.

"This should be fun." And with that, he lifted a single ball from the plate. Something warm, drippy, and decadent.

“I have no idea what this is, but I am absolutely amused.” He turned it slowly in his fingers, letting the sauce glide over his skin.

Then, he looked at me and slowly brought it toward my lips. “Chef’s rule.”

I leaned forward, let my lips just barely brush his fingertips as I took the bite.

The way his fingers glistened with sauce.

The way his emerald eyes locked on my mouth, waiting.

It all made me wet.

Slowly, I opened my lips wider and he tenderly fed me.

The entire moment was pure foreplay.

Mmmm.

I swallowed.

The bite was warm, savory, rich, and sinful, but the food was the last thing on my mind.

Because Fabien hadn’t moved those fingers from my lips and his gaze remained on my mouth too.

Oh my.

Then, with excruciatingly sexy deliberation and his piercing gaze fully on me, he lifted his hand to his mouth and licked the sauce off his fingers.

Mmmm.
