I’m asking for.”
    “I know,” Raina said.
    A hot blush crept up her face. That was all that the sort of man she’d want to date ever wanted from her. Company, friendship, and maybe advice on how they should approach the skinny women they had their eye on. It was only creeps like Austin who lusted after her body. How could she have ever imagined that a man like Owen would want anything more from her than conversation?
    Well, there was his thumb on her hand. But it was just a thumb. A very sexy thumb! But nothing more.
    “Then let’s go,” Owen said.
    And, to Raina’s amazement, she found herself walking out of the lobby, arm in arm with the billionaire. She couldn’t feel her feet hitting the ground. It was as if she was walking on air.
    He escorted her to the parking lot, where the valet brought him his car, a black Range Rover.
    Owen noticed her surprise as it pulled up. “Expecting something different?”
    “A limousine,” Raina admitted, as Owen opened the door for her. “With a chauffeur.”
    Owen settled into the driver’s seat. “I like driving.”
    “Or a sports car.”
    “They’re tiny,” Owen said with a laugh. “I couldn’t fit into one.”
    Raina looked him over again. Even the big seat of the Range Rover looked small with him sitting in it. Her thoughts strayed again to that bulge in his pants. She’d never been with a man as big as Owen looked to be. What would it be like, to have such a huge cock filling her...?
    She had to stop thinking about his cock. It wasn’t like she’d ever get to see it, or touch it, or have anything else to do with it. Though, she thought with a private grin, it would undoubtedly star in her fantasies for the next ten years.
    “Besides,” Owen went on, “I need to take it off-road. I have a cabin in the woods, where I like to stay and hike. Soak up some nature. It’s beautiful out there.”
    “That sounds nice,” Raina sighed. Another thing she’d never get to see.
    “Do you like hiking?”
    “I love it.” Self-conscious, she added, “I know I don’t look like I exercise, but—”
    “Why would you say that?” Owen asked, looking sincerely baffled. “I can see that you’re strong. And fit. And beautiful.”
    Raina stared at him. No one ever said she looked strong and fit. But it was true. She did exercise, when she could find the time. But nobody ever looked past her soft plumpness to see her strength. And nobody but Madison ever called her beautiful. Flustered, she didn’t reply.
    “You should come hiking with me some time,” Owen said, after an awkward silence. “You’d enjoy it. I’d enjoy it.”
    Raina tried to simultaneously not stare at Owen while also examining his face to see if he was coming on to her or just being friendly. It was impossible. She caught a quick glimpse of his deep green eyes, then hastily dropped her gaze.
    Another silence fell. She could feel Owen’s presence next to her, radiating warmth. A flutter of nervous desire made her stomach quiver. Was the billionaire really flirting with her? Was she getting mixed messages because he was trying not to scare her by coming on too strong? Or did she just want him so much that she was imagining things?
    He pulled up in front of a restaurant, gave the keys to a valet, and opened the door for Raina. Not only that, but he took her elbow to help her down. Men never did that sort of thing for her: opening car doors, or defending her from creeps. He’d been so protective of her, even though he hadn’t yet exchanged a single word with her. She liked that. It made her feel warm and safe.
    She smiled. “You’re a real gentleman.”
    “Sometimes.” His voice lowered, giving that simple word a heady sexual promise. Before Raina could think she’d imagined it, he added, “I have a wild side, too.”
    His words made Raina imagine all sorts of things, in a split second: Owen naked, his muscular body gleaming with sweat. Having sex with Owen outdoors. Having sex with Owen up
