“I’d love to talk with you about it.”

“Like I said, I’m on my way to work. It’s weird that you caught me. I’m usually not here this late in the morning. How did you find me, anyway?”

“Oh, some stuff I did online.”

She smiled.

“Turn-about is fair play.”

“How about dinner tonight?” I asked.

I watched as she took a deep breath. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to stop thinking of her naked body. If anything, I found her even more beautiful.

“Okay,” she said. “But I need to go now.”

She put her hand on my arm then let go and walked toward the door.

“I’ll pick you up around six?” I asked as I followed her.

“Yeah, that should work. Give me your number.”

“Here…” I dug my phone out and handed it to her. “Call yourself.”

As her fingers manipulated the screen, my eyes kept stealing glances of those perfect breasts. I wanted to see them again, taste them again.

She handed my phone back to me as we stood outside her door.

“If I don’t call you, meet me here at six,” she said as she turned the doorknob to check that it was locked.

“Here’s hoping you don’t call me.”

She smiled.

“My life’s a little chaotic right now, but it’s good to see you, Cooper.”

“I understand. We can take it slow.”

As we walked down the hall side by side, I pushed all the questions aside. The elevator doors closed and my body tensed as I fought the urge to take her right there.

She turned and grinned at me as we rode down. Did she feel the sexual tension in the air too? The doors slid open and we walked toward the front door.

“It’s good to see you, really,” she said again, gently placing her hand on my arm.

“I’ll see you later tonight. Have a good day.” I turned to walk away.

“Are you headed uptown? We could share a cab?”

“No, I’m the other way.”

“Oh well. We have a lot of catching up to do. I guess it’ll have to wait until tonight.”

“Tonight…” I replied, smiling at the thought of what the night could hold.

She waved then spun around and took off down the street, stretching her arm out for a cab. I watched a moment or two before turning and heading to find a place to kill time.

After leaving the military, I had been living on the small nest-egg I’d acquired helping Max and the others extract a ton of minerals from Afghanistan.

On rare days I missed working, having a reason to get out of bed in the morning, but most of the time I enjoyed having nothing tying me down.
