that he hoped it was alright.
    After our meal, I told Nick that I had something for him, too. I pulled out the list, which I creatively titled, “Things We Can Do in Secret,” and handed it to him. He read it over, looked up, and smiled. “Not only are you absolutely gorgeous, you’re sweet and thoughtful, too,” he said, coming over to me. He took my hand and led me into his family room. He sat down on the couch and pulled me down on top of him so he cradled me in his arms. He held one arm around my back, and he cupped my face with his other hand. He looked tenderly into my eyes and then brought his lips to mine, kissing me sweetly.
    “I’m sorry about the secrecy thing,” he said.
    I suddenly remembered that talking more about what we were starting was the main reason why I was there. Although all I really wanted to do was kiss him.
    “It’s okay. It’s not ideal, but if it’s what we have to do to see where this can go, then I’m okay with it.”
    “I want you to be more than ‘okay’ with it.”
    “Oh, trust me. I’m more than okay with dating you.”
    He smiled. “Is it going to cause any issues for you to keep this a secret from Lucy and Holly?”
    I shrugged. “They are two of my best friends, so it’s not going to be easy.”
    “If we’re being honest, I’m already finding aspects of this difficult at work.”
    “What do you mean?” I asked, suddenly concerned that he regretted making the first move.
    “I mean,” he said, kissing me once. “That it’s getting harder and harder for me to keep my hands off of you.”
    I kissed him again. “Oh really?”
    His mouth found mine. “Yes,” he murmured against my lips. And then his tongue was moving in my mouth again, and I felt everything south of my belly button tighten as he held me in his arms and kissed me in that way that he did. The passion between us started to really heat up when Nick broke from me. “Are you okay with this?” he asked.
    I was definitely okay with it. I wanted him so badly. I nodded, and he kissed me again, slowly and sensually. His hands moved into my hair, and I could feel a dull throbbing between my legs as he turned me on in ways I had never felt before. I felt his erection pressing into my bottom, so I knew he was as turned on as I was.
    He pulled back and kissed my forehead. “God, Julianne. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about a woman before.”
    I melted into him. I had never felt the way I did with him before. No man had ever ignited the fire in me the way that he did. No man had ever turned me on with just a kiss the way he did.
    He kissed me again, and tingles raced up my spine just being so close to him. His lips moved from mine and found my neck. I moaned in ecstasy and I’m pretty sure I said, “Oh God.”
    “If we don’t stop now, I’m not going to be able to,” he whispered against my neck.
    I didn’t want him to stop.
    I wanted him. Badly.
    But for some reason, I stopped the kiss. I cleared my throat. “I’d love a glass of wine,” I said.
    He flashed his gorgeous smile at me. “I could use something, too,” he said. He kissed me once more and then helped me to my feet. We walked hand-in-hand to his kitchen, and he poured us both drinks.
    As he poured, I stared down at the counter. I didn’t want him to think that I didn’t want him. Just to be sure that he understood, I said, “I hope you know that I just want to take things slowly. I don’t think you have any idea how much I really, really want to be with you, Nick. I have been attracted to you since the day Josie introduced you as my boss.”
    “I’ve wanted you just as long.”
    I glanced up at him. “Really?” I was shocked by this revelation. If he wanted me all that time, he sure did a good job of hiding it.
    He nodded. “Julianne, you’re gorgeous, sweet, kind. You’re funny and you love dogs and you’re adorable when you’re tipsy. You’re smart and creative and fun to work with and to hang out with.
