shopping for clothes the entire
meal. She took all her food home in a box. I never heard from her again.” When
he grinned, she noticed sexy little crinkles around the corners of his eyes.
She wanted to press her lips there. “Of course, I never called her again
either.”
    “Once I went out with a guy who ordered the most expensive
meal, appetizers, drink after drink, dessert. Ate it all. Drank it all. Much
more than what I ordered, you understand. Which would have been fine except then
he wanted to split the bill down the middle.”
    Sam shook his head. “Maybe there should be a rule. First
dates shouldn’t be to expensive restaurants.”
    “I agree. But maybe they shouldn’t be in crowded bars
either.” Her ass was killing her. She shifted on the hard stool again and
fanned her face.
    A loud group of guys pushed by and bumped into Sam, causing
him to almost fall into her lap. Or maybe he merely used it as an excuse to
grab onto her hips in order to catch himself. His face was so close to her breasts
she could feel his breath on her skin.
    He slowly, perhaps reluctantly, pushed away. “I don’t know.
I think a crowded bar has its benefits.”
    She laughed and turned back to her drink. “So do you think
we’ve officially been stood up?”
    Sam pulled out his phone and checked the time. “How long do
you usually wait before you give up? In college, guys only gave it ten minutes
before they walked.”
    She laughed. “Sometimes I get a text with a lame excuse. And
that’s fine. Really. I’d rather get that than sit around waiting and wondering.
I give myself a two-drink limit. If he’s not here by the time I finish my
second drink, I call a cab and get the hell out.”
    “How many drinks have you had?”
    “Um. Three now. But the first two were for the blind-date
guy. I was just about to leave when you came over.”
    “I got lucky, then.”
    Her heart raced from the erotic promise in his voice. “I
don’t know. Are you still waiting for your date?”
    “I stopped waiting for her as soon as I saw you.”
    Delightful shivers danced along her skin and she leaned in
close, placed her hand on his shoulder. “Okay. What are we doing here?”
    He leaned in even closer. “Getting to know each other a
little better?”
    The scent of spicy musk reached her over the smells of booze
and perfume, and she took a big whiff. “Are you hitting on me, Sam?”
    “I’d hoped the hitting on was mutual.”
    It was hard to resist a guy who made her laugh. Especially a
hot guy who made her laugh and squirm on her seat. But from prior experience,
she knew a hot guy like Sam wouldn’t want her for more than a one-night stand.
“We have to see each other at work.” Life could get awkward fast.
    “I know.” He glanced over his shoulder. “Those guys are
leaving. Want to grab that booth?”
    “Yes!”
    He laughed, grabbed her arm and snagged the back booth before
anyone else noticed it was free. She scooted onto the bench seat and instead of
taking the seat on the opposite side of the table, Sam slid in beside her.
Between the two of them—one big and tall, one big and wide—they took up most of
the space.
    “I hope you don’t mind,” Sam said softly. “We can talk
without shouting across the table and besides, now I can do this without
drawing too much attention.” He placed his hand on her knee, then began to
slide it slowly up her bare thigh until he reached the edge of her dress. Her
pussy quivered in anticipation and he wasn’t even close to her center.
    Two could play that game. Meredith put her hand on his
thigh. It was so hot and hard. But his leg was covered by fabric and that was
so not fair.
    Her mind was whirling with the implications of what was
happening here tonight. She’d been stood up by one guy but now was getting up
close and personal with a coworker. A totally hot coworker who at this moment
was sneaking his fingers underneath her dress. She slid her hand up at little
closer to his
