bill, and ushered her to the car. I drove back to her place, watching her looking at me occasionally, thinking I hadn’t noticed. She was beautiful, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to completely stay professional much longer; I owed it to her to try though.
I never gave April that chance, and I lost her.
“What are you thinking about?” Her sweet voice brought me back to the present.
I looked at her quickly, placing my hand onto hers . “Just thinking about how beautiful you are.”
She tried to move her hand out from under mine, but I grabbed her tighter and moved her hand onto my thigh, keeping her in place.
“You are a beautiful person, Emma. I was serious tonight when I said that I want to get to know you better.”
She looked at me and smiled . “So you keep telling me.”
“And I’m going to keep telling you until you believe me.” I squeezed her hand and brought it up to my mouth and placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles. I felt her shiver, and watched as her eyes filled with passion and lust.
We arrived at the townhouse a few minutes later , and I walked her to the door. I placed a quick kiss on her cheek. “Thank you for a wonderful night.”
We looked at each other for a few seconds . “Do you want to come in?” she asked as she opened the door.
“As much as I want to, I think it would be better if I went home. I can’t promise that , if I stayed, I’d be a good boy.” I took a step back from her, and immediately felt the loss of her heat, sending a chill over my body.
“Well , good night then,” she said as she turned and headed into the house, defeated and let down.
I turned and walked to the car, cursing myself for not going in and cursing myself for h urting her again. What the fuck, Di Giamico?
Chapter 16-Emma
I watched Marcus head back to his car. I was a little let down that he’d chosen not to come in, but in the end I assumed it was for the best. I know he’d promised me that he’d be professional, but God-damn, I didn’t know how much more I could handle. My hormones and heart were at odds with my brain. I honestly didn’t know which would win this battle, although my hormones were in the lead.
My mind kept wandering back to the conversation at the restaurant . I still didn’t learn much about him, although he now knew about my family, where I went to school, a brief explanation of why I moved to Boston, although not the whole reason. Maybe he was serious about getting to know me. I just wished I learned a bit more about him.
I made my way up to my bedroom and checked the messages on the machine while I got ready for bed. Five messages. Pressing play , I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. One message was from Nikki, one from Ally, and three sporadic hang ups. What the hell was going on with the weird calls lately? I didn’t think much about it, and climbed into bed. I decided to send Marcus a quick text thanking him for a wonderful evening, and again asking him if he’d tried to call.
Immediately, my phone chimed back. Tonight was my pleasure. You took my breath away. No, how could I have called? I was with you. Sleep well.
The texts made my heart swell , and a smile crept over my face as I lay in bed. I sent both Nikki and Ally a message letting them know I was home safe, and they had nothing to worry about.

Almost a week had passed since my dinner with Marcus, and, although we had texted back and forth a few times during the week, I was still anticipating seeing him tonight. We hadn’t been able to get together during the week due to our schedules. I was backed up with orders, as it was nearing the holiday season, and he had his appointments as well, a thought that made me a little jealous. Did he take all his subs out? What was he doing with them that he wasn’t with me?
I shook the thoughts from my mind as I finished getting ready to head to the club. It was Saturday night , and we had another
