"About me?"

"Yes about you."

I gulped. He was giving me that hungry look. The look that made me want him. I crossed my legs under the table. "What are you enjoying most?"

"How insatiable you are."

"Insatiable? How so? By wanting to spend time with you?"

"In bed, mostly."

Oh my God."I don't think that's true."

He laughed. "If I wanted to, I could have you coming in the bathroom before our pizza arrived."

When he talked like that to me it was hard to think about anything else. I wanted him. And he knew it.

He smiled at me. "Or maybe I could do it right here. I believe I owe you an orgasm with an audience after the office blowjob incident."

I gulped. "But you liked that."

"I did. And you'd like this." His foot brushed against my leg. "Besides, I promised you I'd retaliate." He hitched his foot on a leg of my chair and he pulled it closer to the table. The chair squeaked against the floor.

"I thought you were joking." My heart rate was accelerating. Just the way he was looking at me made me wet.

"I would never joke about pleasing you." One of his hands left mine and disappeared beneath the table. A second later it was on my knee. His skilled fingers slid up my thigh. His eyes grew darker with each inch his hand moved higher.

"Professor Hunter..."

At that moment our pizza came to the table.

"James! It's so good to see you," a short woman with an Italian accent said. She placed our pizza down on the table.

Professor Hunter removed his hand from my thigh and shook her hand. "It's been ages, Marie. I was in the city for the day and this was the first place I stopped."

"We all miss you here. And who is this?" Marie turned to me.

"This is my girlfriend, Penny."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," I said. I reached out my hand to shake hers.

"No, no, the pleasure is mine." She leaned down and hugged me. "Every Monday James would come here and have lunch. Always alone. Always glum. I'm so glad he has finally met someone. You better make him happy," she said in a voice a little more serious than I expected. When Marie released me from her hug, she smiled at Professor Hunter. "It's so good to see you, James."

"You too, Marie," James said as she walked away. He put his hand back on my thigh. "Another time then. I will get you."

I smiled at him. "Why did you eat lunch alone every Monday?" I asked.

"Just a habit." He picked up a slice of pizza and put it on my plate.

"Why did she think you were single? You still wore your ring when you lived here, didn't you?"

He sighed. "No, actually."

"Why?"

"I stopped wearing my wedding ring the first time I confronted Isabella about her infidelity. I thought she'd feel threatened and stop. I thought maybe the idea of me sleeping around would bother her. It didn't."

"Did you? Sleep around?"
