"Go on."
I return the toast and take a swill. I can sense he wants more than my company's business.
"While I might be the heir to my family's fortune, I didn't start there. I did go to college, but I worked as a janitor during my first year."
His eyes are exploring my mouth as I speak.
"I have held virtually every position in my company."
I perceive his face as being a bit slack jaw, showing surprise.
"I didn't take you as such. That's really surprising to hear from a CEO."
I chuckle.
"Not many CEO's would do such a thing. However, I wanted to be able to lend more credibility to the position and more value to my company."
Taking another sip of his wine, he places his glass on the table and leans in, staring at me.He really is quite a specimen. Extremely handsome and such a gentleman.
"I will tell you something about myself. I started with a small strip mall, and I worked my way up from there. Maybe not the same as you, but I am self-made."
His voice has a hint of arrogance in it, and he sits up straighter.
I do like a man that has worked hard. It means he scratched and bartered to get where he is.I bet he is a fucking beast in the sack.I had no interest last night, remembering Amanda's big news break across Instagram. Tonight, on the other hand…
He has every right to be arrogant regarding his company. I bet we could have so much fun together. I glance at him, giving him a bit of a seductive smile, and then look away.
The return smile and his gaze makes me ooze wetness.I wonder if he would like to fuck me?I know I would like to get after him, but right now is just a bit too early- I just met him for crying out loud.
"It takes a real man to do that. Believe me, I watched my father build Rose on his back."
"All I know is that I’ve worked hard, and I usually get what I want," he says.
I watch as he finishes the remaining gulp of his wine and sets his glass down.
“Check, please,” he snaps to the waiter. "May I?"
"Well, I can get my own," I respond with haste.
"Of course, you can. But I insist."
He accepts the check from the waiter and returns it with his card, flashing me that debonair smile.Gorgeous.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say that I would enjoy your company - in both regards," he grins at his double entendre.
"This has been fun. And thank you for the meal, it wasn't necessary," I playfully encounter.
"May I see you again?" He stands and offers his hand to me, helping me up from my seat. "We could further discuss the possibilities of a partnership. This one and otherwise."
He kisses my hand before releasing it.
The sound of his voice is so seductive and mesmerizing to me. I feel a tingle rise through my arm and my heart jumps when his lips touch my hand for the first time this evening. I notice a glint of desire in his eyes, betraying his intentions.
While my heart is racing in my chest, I smile playfully before speaking.
"Of course, contact my secretary." As I walk away, I shoot him one last bit over my shoulder. "Partnerships are fun, but they don't come free."
