“True. But I like what I've gotten to know so far.”
Honor took a breath, held it, and admitted: “Me too.”
Our waiter swooped by again, this time to deliver our first course.
“By the way?” I whispered across the table. “That was the best sex I've ever had. Mistake? I don't think so. You made me cum so hard … ugh, I can't stop thinking about it.”
“Hunter!” She giggled. Peach and pink hues splashed her cheeks. “You're so dirty …”
But beneath the table, she ran her ankle suggestively against my calf—and the electric friction of her leg against mine made my cock grow against the crotch of my trousers.
“I'm dirty, but you're a tease,” I growled.
And I love it.

“This was so much fun! I guess we learned a little bit about each other after all, huh?” Honor asked as I thumbed through my wallet to pay the bill.
“Yeah. I've never told that to anyone—what happened between me and Vanessa. Not even my parents know, actually.”
Honor looked shocked. “For God's sake, why haven't you told anyone?”
“I'm too embarrassed.”
“So how did it feel to tell me?”
“Like …” I searched my heart—which normally felt so heavy—for the right words. “Like I'm a thousand pounds lighter, actually.”
“Look at your smile! You're so cute, Hunter.”
“Not as cute as you.” I smiled bigger at her. “So? Can I extend this date? Take you to get coffee and dessert?”
She thought it over. “That sounds really tempting …but.”
Aw. 'But.' Did I blow it? Did I lay too much of my fucked up bullshit at her feet?
“… But why don't you show me your hotel instead? I wanna see where you live. And I wanna see that sunset over the mountains.”
I grinned. “That sounds great, but we better hurry!”

After a short drive back to the Regents Hotel, I gave the valet the usual tip to park the Maserati.
“Keep her safe,” I said, like always.
“Of course, Mr. Rockwell,” he answered.
Honor hurried by my side. She put her arm through mine and whispered, “You pay those guys $100 every time you park?”
“Andevery time I leave.”
Honor didn't think that was very wise. “Hunter!”
