Nolan appeared up at me with large, shiny pet canine eyes, his complete expression shifting like I’d simply instructed him the final piece of cake was his.

So far as I’m involved, he can have no matter he desires tonight… and I do hope there’s cake.

“I hope that’s not a nasty factor,” he whispered, his eyebrows furrowing.

Oh you candy, candy man…

Who the hell burned you?

I appeared him within the eye, mustering as a lot seriousness as I may after I mentioned, “No, Nolan. By no means. The truth is, I—”

Earlier than I may spill all my secrets and techniques and newfound wishes out on the desk like a teenage woman, the waiter got here with our meals, shattering the unusual kind of stress that had grown between us, and neither of us had any ideas about something however the completely incredible meals in entrance of us.

Once we’d each devoured our meals plus dessert—a tasty chocolate horchata cake—and the test got here, Nolan instantly tried to seize it.

“Ah, ah… paws off, child.”

“Come on, we will cut up it. You don’t must—”

“I wish to, Nolan. Significantly, simply let…” I sighed as I watched his face intently.

“Simply let me care for you.”

CHAPTER 15

Nolan

The Elderberry Fizzes will need to have gone to my head. There was no different means I may clarify the entire disconnect that occurred in my mind and physique when Dawson instructed me he wished to care for me.

It was like an out of physique expertise. I’d had two severe boyfriends in my brief, twenty-eight years of life. Properly, one wasn’t actually my boyfriend, he was kind of attempting to determine his shit out, however we weren’t within the closet or something, so I believe it counts.

As a result of if it didn’t, that might imply I’ve solely ever been in a single severe relationship my complete life.

Certain, I’d considered eventualities like this one after I was alone—normally as a result of the crux of my ideas had been centered round what would occur after I’d been sufficiently wined and dined by a good-looking man with eyes just for me, and normally in these ideas, I ended up on my knees displaying my reward and placing out like a homecoming queen.

“I—” I cleared my throat, discovering the need to talk as soon as extra if solely as a result of I didn’t wish to appear impolite.

“Thank… you,” I managed to get the phrases out.

Dawson solid a smile I may solely describe as soiled and depraved at me, his brown eyes lighting up with the signature golden vitality that encapsulated him more often than not.

Drawing me nearer, like a bug to the solar.

“Don’t thank me simply but. Wait until we get house,” he mentioned, flashing me a flirtatious wink, inflicting my blush to hit me like a tidal wave.

I each hated and beloved that with barely a number of phrases and a glance, this man may have me so flushed and flustered, so rattling determined for extra of that sizzling, golden gentle that solely he may shine.

I wished extra.
