gratifying partnership for both of us.”
                  I throw her a full on smile, appreciating the slight blush that flashes across her face.  My eyes lock onto her mouth, flaring with heat as her lips wrap around the rim of the glass.  I follow suite, taking a small sip.  I’m not crazy about champagne, I’m more of a whiskey kind of guy.  I can’t stop the corner of my mouth from twitching as her eyes lock onto the lips as they rest on the rim of my glass.  She doesn’t even realize she’s staring.
                  Setting my glass down. “Shall we.”  I snap her out of her trance as I reach over and grab the cover off her plate.  Setting both lids to the side, wafts of and Fettuccini Carbonara and steak filter through the air.
                  “Oh my God this smells terrific.”  Her eyes flutter closed as she inhales sharply over her plate of pasta.
                  “So I chose well?”
                  “I love Fettuccini Carbonara.”  I watch as she artfully twirls her fork, catching random strands of fettuccini noodles with bacon.  Her hand stops in midair a forkful of pasta resting next to those perfect plump lips.  “How’d you know?” 
                  I hide a small groan as she wraps her lips around the fork.  “Lucky guess.”  My cock jerks to life in anticipation of her sucking me off. 
                  Forty-five minutes later, we both sit back laughing and drinking.  The more I get to know this woman the more she intrigues me.  She’s smart, has a cunning business mind and is sexy as hell.  She’s actually the first woman to intrigue me since Jessica left.
                  Slowly, studying her with my eyes, I find myself wanting to know her intimately, from the inside out.  I’ll always love Jessica.  If she called, I’d go back to her in a heartbeat.  For now though, Faith will more than fill the void.  One thing I know for sure, there’s so much more to Faith Winters than meets the eye.
                  “So tell me Faith, who’s the lucky guy in your life?”  I finally asked the question I’ve wanted to ask her since I laid eyes on her.
                  I watch her eyes snap to her plate as she contemplates how to answer.  Good there’s no one else.   Even if there was, there wouldn’t be after I get done with her.
                  “No one, I like being single.”
                  I want to laugh out loud.  “I find that hard to believe.”  My voice drops and octave, my eyes stalking her body.
                  “What’s hard to believe?”
                  I set my napkin on the table and slide my chair back.  As I slowly stalk her way I watch her slowly breathing change. Stopping behind her chair I lean over resting my hands on the back of her chair.  I purposely lean a little too far, tracing my nose and lips along her cheekbone until my lips come to rest on her ear.  “I find it unbelievable, that a beautiful, sensual woman like you doesn’t have someone in her bed.”
                  “Who says I don’t have someone in my bed.”  Her voice sounds like sexy.
                  “Well if you do, you won’t want them after you’ve had me.”  I thread my fingers through her long auburn hair tugging her head backwards and locking my lips against hers.  I just can’t fucking wait anymore.  At first her lips refuse only making me want her more.  Running my tongue along her bottom lip, come on sweet heart open up for me.  Finally she opens up to me, her tongue twisting with mine.  Her lips are so fucking sweet , they fit perfectly with mine. I tug on her hair and I deepen the kiss.  My cock hardens like a rock as a small groan escapes her throat. I wrap my other hand around her delicate neck, taking everything I want and giving her a taste of things to
