good to be true.”
    “I’m not but I look out for my friends. I will handle the situation, don’t worry about it.”
    “What happened to Becca?”
    “I pressed charges against her and fired her. I need people around me who support me not hinder me.”
    “I hope everything is ok for my show tonight.”
    Alex nodded. “I have a great staff, we are all set and waiting for the guest of honor to arrive.”
    Eve smiled and grabbed her glass of wine. “Are we still going to celebrate by going out tonight after the show ends?”
    Alex grinned. “I would love t hat. I have a great spot that I’m going to take you.”
    Eve looked up at him and smiled. He moved a piece of hair from her face and moved it behind her ear. He leaned down and gently kissed her.
    He quickly parted his lips and found her tongue. Alex lightly bit her lower lip as he pulled away. He placed his hand on the side of her face and traced her lips with his thumb. “I’m trying to be a gentleman, Eve.”
    Eve smirked at him. “I appreciate that but I really don’t want you to be.”
    Alex groaned softly and shut his eyes. When he opened them, he grabbed Eve’s waist and twirled her around and pressed her back against the wall. He covered her lips with his and immediately pressed tighter against her.
    She moaned softly as he felt her fingers tighten in his hair. She pulled him closer as if she was convinced there was still space between them. Alex held onto her as he lifted her from the wall and walked into her hotel room.
    She whispered against his lips. “The bedroom is over there.”
    Alex tried to gather his thoughts. “Not yet. I plan on taking my time you, Ms. Matthews.”
    She whimpered. “Alex, you are driving me crazy.”
    “ That’s my intention, Eve.” He stated as he lowered her onto the couch in the middle of the room. His lips brushed over the tender spot on her neck as he lifted her shirt just enough to feel her bare skin. “Your skin drives me crazy. You are flawless.”
    She responded by sneaking her hand around his waist and down the back of his pants. He groaned as he braced himself above her. He felt uncomfortable. He never allowed himself to get this far with the few dates he had since Emily but he couldn't control himself around Eve. He felt her nails dig into his backside and he captured her lips again. Her hand moved around his waist and started to unzip his slacks.
    He quickly came to his senses and reached for her hand. "Oh no, I told you I want to savor every moment with you and I can't do that right now. We have to get ready for your big opening."
    Eve groaned and eventually nodded. "You are different from other guys in my life. I like different."
    Alex laughed as he took a deep breath and smiled. He braced himself above Eve and gave her a slow lingering heated kiss before he got on his feet and tried to compose himself.
    Eve stood up and walked over to her glass of wine. “Are you going to escort me tonight?”
    Alex smiled. “I would love to, Eve. What time would you like me to return for you?”
    “The show starts at seven, let’s say six thirty?”
    “Sounds great, I will be back,” Alex said as he kissed her cheek and left her hotel room.
    He had definitely fallen for her and hoped that his fears from previous relationships wouldn’t rear its ugly head.
    He headed back to his estate and ran into Mrs. Bennett on the way out. “Alex, I’m glad to saw you before I left. I made you dinner and it’s in the oven. I know you have the show tonight but you need to eat something now or you will forget.”
    Alex leaned over and kissed her cheek. “Thank you, you are always thinking of me.”
    “Yes, I am. How’s Eve?”
    Alex smiled. “She’s wonderful. I’m sorry again for how you were introduced. But, please trust me when I say that she’s a wonderful person.”
    “I believe in you, Alex. I just want you to be happy. I will get to know her over time, I hope.”
    “I hope so too. I don’t know what will
