“Okay, how about I visit a few more times? You can ask me anything you would like. I’ll also bring my friend and business partner with me. Maybe we can go out together? Someplace around here, so you feel comfortable,” he suggested.
Bring his friend, too? What does he mean, and why are my nipples so hard and my pussy feeling aroused by his words? A fantasy come true? A bad idea? I just don’t know how to react to him.
Now thoughts of a ménage experience instantly popped into Toni’s head. Damn Tina and her sexy erotic romance novels.
“Hey, if she’s not game I’ll take you up on it. Is your friend as hot as you are?” Tina asked.
“Tina!”
“Sorry, boss.”
“Boss?” Emerson asked.
“Oh, just ignore her. She likes to call me that because I always find her slacking off and warn her that the boss might catch her,” Toni said, and then gave Tina a dirty look. Thank goodness her friend didn’t say a word.
“Nice. You’re the responsible one, huh? Who owns this place anyway?” he asked her.
“Oh, an older guy. He’s usually around on the weekends and on Mondays.”
“Oh, well, what do you say about going out with me.”
“And your friend?” she asked, wanting to be sure what he meant.
“Well, like I said, we can come visit you here tomorrow. If it makes you feel better, we’ll talk a few more times and you’ll see I’m trustworthy,” he said then winked.
“Okay. But it’s a ‘no’ on the brownie recipe. It’s a family secret of the owners.”
“Oh, we wouldn’t want to get in trouble then.”
He looked at the menu and then on the specials list that showed all the new little recipes she had introduced last week.
I can get into a lot of trouble with you. Oh God, he is so good looking. What is his deal?
“I think I’ll try the strawberry shortcake muffin, and put in an order of those raspberry brownie bites, to go, for my friend.”
“Oh, you mean you shared them with him?”
“I didn’t have much of a choice, He sniffed them out immediately. Our office is small, and like I said, we share it.”
“You share a lot of things with your friend?” Tina chimed in over Toni’s shoulder, and Toni felt her cheeks warm. She swatted the towel at Tina as Tina winked at Emerson then chuckled as she walked away.
Emerson leaned forward and held Toni’s gaze.
“We like to share a lot of things. We’re best friends. Have been since elementary school. He’d like you. We have similar tastes, and you fit the bill as perfection.” He eyed her lips then held her gaze. She felt speechless. She totally got the undertones of his statement and knew she should run. But instead, she just stared at him.
“You’re very brazen, Emerson. I don’t think I’ve heard such a line before from a man.”
His eyes almost appeared darker at her statement. “It’s not brazenness, and perhaps you’ve never really met a real man who knows how to cater to a woman’s every need. I liked you the moment I saw you here. You’re sweet, you’re truthful, and I’d like to get to know you better. I’ll give you time if you need it. But be warned, I’m not a patient man, Antoinette.”
“Oh. Let me just put that order in for you.”
“Great.” He smiled as she walked away.
As soon as she walked into the kitchen, Tina grabbed her.
“Holy shit, two men. You know that he wants you. He is so fine. I bet he comes from money.”
“It sounded like he is struggling to make it up the corporate ladder. I don’t know if he meant what you’re thinking.”
