Chapter Fourteen

“Told you I’d behave.”

She smiles, and actually it’s one of the few times she’s not being hostile to me. I… I like it. She’s beautiful when she smiles. Her whole face just lights up.

It makes my heart race and my cock throb. Even just a quick glance at her bare neck – she’s got her hair tied up – brings me up. I want to bite her there, lick her, taste her. God, my lust for her is carnal, almost savage. I want to bite her until it hurts, and then a little more.

“You
did
behave,” she says. “To my great surprise.” She gives me an accusing stare, as if to ask, ‘
What’s your angle?
’. I just play it off as nothing. I got no
angle
. She knows I want her.

Penny clears her throat. “Tina did a good job with the shading, didn’t she?”

“She did,” I agree.

“Does it hurt?”

“No. Tingles.” I pull the Porsche over. “We’re going to Lou’s.”

“Lou’s?” she says. “That sounds like an American pizza restaurant, or something.”

“That’s because it is,” he says. “Deep dish, Chicago style. Thought you’d like something from home.”

There it is again, that smile. God, she looks amazing when she smiles.

I lick my lower lip, and bunch my brows together for a moment. I don’t think I’ve ever thought something like that before.

“Thanks, but it’s not really
just
a Chicago thing anymore. I had no idea they had something like that over here?”
