“Sorry. I’ve sworn off bikers and well, men in general.”
“You pitching for the other team? I’m not against enjoying that as long as I can join in.”
“Wow,” she breathes. I figure she’s not impressed, but she needs to get used to who I am. I’m not about to change for anyone. “You’re definitely not shy,” she says her fair skin heating with color.
“Never been accused of it, no. You didn’t tell me why you’re working here if you’re a nurse.”
“Is there a rule a girl can’t have two jobs?” I cock an eyebrow and wait. I mean, I like playing games as much as anyone, but I want her to answer me… Fuck, I want her to answertome. She shakes her head. “I’m helping out my grandmother. She had a doctor’s appointment today. Now, are you going to order or ask me questions all day?”
“I told you what I’d rather do with you.”
“That’s off the table,” she says. “Although, if you want to get technical, it was neveronthe table.”
“You got fire, Freckles. Makes a man itch to tame you.”
She lets out a huge sigh. “Don’t call me Freckles.”
“Why?”
“You sure ask a lot of questions. Because I don’t like it.”
“I’ll take the special and a cup of coffee—black.”
“Got it,” she quips, turning away from the table.
“Hey, Freckles?”
“Yeah,” she calls, glancing over her shoulder, shooting little daggers at me for calling her Freckles again.
“Want to make you a promise.”
“A promise?”
“Yeah.” I lick my lips and her eyes drop to my mouth. “I promise you that before we’re done with our dance, I’m going to fuck youona table.”
“Never going to happen.”
“And because of that response, I’ll also fuck you bent over the table.”
“Doubt my boyfriend would go for that,” she counters.
“You said you’ve sworn off men, Shelby. You tryin’ to lie to me, baby? You know what happens to bad girls don’t you?”
“I have sworn off of them—except for my boyfriend,” she scrambles and she’s clearly lying.
I grin. “You got a ring on your finger?”
She looks down at her hand and frowns.
“Then you’re fair game, Freckles, and you should know one thing about me. When there’s something I want, I never lose.”
Her eyes go wide, and I think I see fear register on her face. It makes me laugh as she disappears into the back where the kitchen is to put my order in.
This is going to be fun.
