Page 107 of His Secret
I bite back my grin. “Right.”
Matías leisurely strokes himself in front of me before tucking it away.
“That’ll be all, Mr. Kennedy.”
My eyes flicker up at him. “I want to watch. I want to be able to see you when you come tonight.”
His brow arches slightly. “Hmm. We’ll see.”
I stand and get myself situated. “Thank you for the uhh…conversation. I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of the evening.”
“I hope so,” he says with a grin.
I make my way to the door and give him another glance before I walk out.
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
ADRIAN
“This is exciting.We haven’t had a date night in so long,” Charlotte says from in front of the mirror where she puts on her earrings.
“Yeah, I know.”
She walks up to me, pulling on my tie. “You might get lucky tonight, mister.”
I force a smile on my face while my stomach churns.
It’s not like it’ll be the first time I’ve had sex with her. I can do it. She’s never gotten my best. If she had girlfriends, I’d definitely be talked about. She’d mention my lack of enthusiasm, probably. How I don’t initiate it ever. Perhaps, and most embarrassingly, the times when I couldn’t keep it up or finish.
But it’s not like it’s her. It’s hard to do those things with someone you’re not attracted to. And not justI don’t think you’re cute enough, because she’s pretty, but I’m not attracted to the female body. It doesn’t do anything for me, and the act is in fact, uncomfortable.
“Not to put a wet blanket over tonight,” she starts, walking toward the closet.
“Charlotte, please,” I groan, already knowing where this is going.
“Your dad wants to talk to you. Just call him and get it over with.”
“Not tonight.”
“That’s fine. Also, my parents are planning on visiting in a week or two, depending on Dad’s schedule.”
I inhale deeply through my nose, running my hand over my forehead while trying to keep from having an outburst.
“We should leave soon. Reservations are in thirty, and it’s at least twenty minutes away.”
Charlotte slips her feet into some heels as she sits on the edge of the bed, then grabs her purse from the dresser and gives me a smile.
“I’m ready.”
Since our garage is still full of boxes and furniture that we need to get rid of, the car is parked in the driveway. As we’re getting to the doors, Matías walks out wearing some running shoes, shorts, and a tank top.
We make eye contact before he gives us a tight smile and wave.
Charlotte waves back, but I don’t. He puts in his earbuds and then takes off down the block.
I spend most of our date thinking about him. I think about what he did to me earlier today in his office. I think about how I shouldn’t be thinking about that while I’m on a date with my wife. I wonder if he’s mad. I wonder if he’ll try to go on a date just to get even. I think about way too many things at once, and realize I’ve been a terrible date.
“You look amazing, by the way,” I tell Charlotte.
