“He did. It’s not new, but it’s less than two years old. In perfect condition, and all with warranties. Kai and I worked together. He was my boss for a couple of years. I played wingman for him on over one occasion. He loved dragging me to all the gay bars.”
“Are you the author equivalent of Cher?”
I burst out laughing. “Maybe. I love gay men. What can I say? They accept me for who I am, love me despite all of my flaws and treat me with kindness and respect.”
Gambit crossed the room, pulling me up from my chair and kissing me senseless. When he finally pulled his lips from mine, my legs were weak enough I had to lean against him.
“Bébé, everyone in your life should treat you with respect and kindness.”
“I’m learning that.”
“I have to take care of a few things. I’m taking you out to dinner tonight. Be ready by six.”
“Safe journeys. I’ll see you at six.”
He kissed me one more time before leaving. My eyes glued to his ass as he walked away. Damn, he had a fine ass. It looked sinful in those jeans. I wiped the corner of my mouth.Did I just drool? Fuck! I did.
The rest of the day soared by. Ito took me back to the clubhouse around four thirty. I rushed into the shower and then freaked. I have absolutely nothing to wear. My first official date, where it’s just the two of us.
I had no idea where we’re going. I sent him a quick text.
What should I wear?
His response was immediate.
We’re taking a ride.
Oh good. I loved riding on the back of his bike. I hurried so I’d have time to wash my hair and get it mostly dried. It wound up in a single thick braid down my back. My button fly jeans hugged my curves to perfection. I wore a loose knit sweater with a deep-v. It was a deep wine color, and I wore a black lace camisole under it.
Chapter 25
Gambit
Icame through thedoor with a bouquet of white lilies and apple blossoms in one hand and a box of pralines in the other. Honu barked his welcome, and Stormy greeted me with a smile on her face. I closed the distance between us, handing her the flowers before bringing her in for a kiss.
“Are you ready for a ride?”
