His gaze bore into hers, his green eyes growing dark. “That is not what you wanted to say. But thank you.” He sighed.
“Okay it isn’t what I wanted to say, but I shouldn’t say what I want to say to another woman’s man.”
His jaw tightened under her touch. “It’s not serious between Veronica and me. She is someone I’ve been casually dating while I’m here in Baltimore. It isn’t going anywhere. I don’t want it to go anywhere.” His arms circled her waist, moving her closer to his body. “These last couple of days, with you, just reaffirmed how I feel about you. It doesn’t matter if I run from New Jersey to Maryland and date other women. I can’t get away from how I feel.”
“How do you feel?” she asked enjoying the feel of his strong arms around her body pressing her into his heat.
“I don’t want to date any other women.”
“Really?” she asked needing to hear him say the words.
“Not a chance.” His hands rubbed up her back. “I don’t care where I’m at or who I’m with, Donia. It will always be you that I want.” His words were soft whispers against her ear, so intimate and only for her to hear. He pressed her close to him, kissing the side of her face.
She leaned back to look into his eyes. “I’m sorry it took me a little longer to come to that realization, Blake. I want you too.”
He closed his lips on hers, his mouth warm and wanting. “How about we blow off this dinner and go back to my place?” he asked, breaking for air.
She laughed. “We can’t do that. Lana spent so much time getting this whole thing together.”
He pouted. “Okay, we’ll eat, but afterward you and I have plans. It’s my party, and I’ll ditch everyone if I want to,” he said linking his hand with hers.
“Wait, Veronica is back there.” She stopped him.
“If Lana didn’t get rid of her for me, she will be the first person I let know about us.”
“Us?” She smiled. “I think I like the sound of that.” She ran a hand down his chest. “Maybe we should ditch dinner.”
“Just say the word, baby,” he growled, kissing her again.
“Um, excuse me you two,” Lana said, standing at the bottom of the restaurant steps. “We are waiting for you, and no you are not ditching dinner, so don’t even think about it.”
“Busted by the warden.” Blake joked.
“We will finish this later,” she said for only Blake to hear. “Only you and me.” She winked.
“I like the sound of that…Happy Birthday to me.”
