it okay to leave my car parked at the bar?”
“Sure. Drunks leave their vehicles overnight at bars all the time but I’ll walk over and move it for you later so it’s not there all night.”
“All night?” She lifted her brow in question.
Safely parked in the spot, he cut the engine and turned to her. “Yup. I’m not nearly done with you yet.”
“Oh.” That was all CeCe could come up with as he grinned.
In a surprising show of manners, Wade ran around the truck and opened her door for her. Then her hand was in his as he led her next door to the diner.
It was all so surreal all she could do was let him lead the way.
When they walked through the door, one of the waitresses inside barely glanced their direction before telling them to seat themselves anywhere.
With his hand pressed to CeCe’s lower back, Wade led them toward a back booth. She slid into one side and to her surprise he slid in right next to her.
CeCe frowned. “You do know there’s a whole other side to sit on right over there, right?”
“Yup. But from over there, I can’t do this.” He settled his hand on her knee.
CeCe had the distinct feeling that Wade’s hand wasn’t going to stay where it rested now. That it wouldn’t be long before he moved it up her leg, beneath her skirt, seeking more. “You are insatiable.”
“Only for you, beautiful.”
She didn’t believe that one bit, but couldn’t comment because the waitress was there and looking at them to order.
“Hey, yeah. Coke for me. CeCe?”
“Water, please.” She cringed when she realized that the water here would no doubt be from the tap and not imported and in a bottle like she usually drank.
“And to eat?” The waitress stood, poised with a pen and pad in her hands.
“One order of chili cheese fries and a burger. Well done.” Wade turned to CeCe. “You?”
“No, I’m good.”
The waitress nodded. “I’ll be right back with your drinks.” Then she was gone.
Wade shot her a sideways glance. “You’re eating some of mine.”
“Why? I’m not hungry.”
“Sure you are. You just don’t know it yet.”
She laughed. “How can you know what I am?”
He lifted one shoulder in a casual half-shrug. “You’ll see.”
Damned if Wade wasn’t right. The moment the plates arrived on the table and the aroma of hot fresh food penetrated the air, CeCe’s stomach let out a low grumble.
Wade’s grin turned into a chuckle. “Told you. Eat.”
He pushed the plate closer to her, even as she shook her head. “No, thanks.”
“Eat. I’m not going to listen to your stomach growling all night.” As Wade focused on the giant burger on the plate in front of him, CeCe took note of his words.
All night.
As she considered the implications of those words, CeCe decided to give in. She’d try one French fry just to make him happy. Hopefully that would prevent him from trying to force the giant burger on her as well.
One fry wouldn’t kill her. She popped the hot, salty, deep-fried golden strip dripping in melted cheese into her mouth. The flavor and texture combined in a culinary pleasure that defied logic.
This was greasy diner food yet she wanted more.
When she reached for another fry, Wade shot her a sideways glance.
“It you say I told you so , I’m going to dump this plate of fries right in your lap.”
Shaking his head, Wade said, “Wasn’t going to say a word.”
CeCe didn’t miss the hint of his smile just visible past the burger he brought up to his mouth.
CHAPTER 8
The elevator door had barely closed when Wade decided he couldn’t control himself any longer. He’d been good during their time at the diner. Mainly because he was so happy to see her eating he didn’t want to disturb her.
There was no plate of food in front of her now. He pushed CeCe against the back wall and pressed his thigh between her legs. He smashed his mouth against hers at the same time he ground against her.
His belly was full of some damn good food
