Eric made \u003cbr\u003eintroductions and ordered drinks.  I was unaccustomed to a man ordering for \u003cbr\u003eme, how would he know what I wanted?  Surprisingly the drink that was \u003cbr\u003edelivered was delicious.  When I finally needed to attend the ladies room, \u003cbr\u003eEric rose from his chair as well.  He wasn’t leaving my side for any reason.  \u003cbr\u003eCurious I thought that he is following me but as I exited the bathroom he was \u003cbr\u003estill leaning against the far wall waiting on me.  I hadn’t noticed any of \u003cbr\u003ethe other men following women to the bathroom, this was odd.  “Eric you don’t \u003cbr\u003ehave to come with me to the bathroom you know?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe took a moment to absorb my sentence and then grabbed my hands.  Turning me \u003cbr\u003earound so that my back was against the wall he leaned forward.  With a \u003cbr\u003ewhisper he said, “If I do not these men will steal you from me in an instant. \u003cbr\u003eDo you not have a mirror in your flat?”  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDark blue eyes met mine in a deep embrace.  His face leaned to mine, lips \u003cbr\u003etouching mine carefully as though he was afraid to break me.  A sizzle of \u003cbr\u003efriction from his tender touch sent me reeling.  But his lips went to my ear, \u003cbr\u003enuzzling it again he whispered, “I would like to leave this pub now.  Will \u003cbr\u003eyou come home with me?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pulsations his voice and touch caused me were saying absolutely yes but \u003cbr\u003emy mind was confusing the issue.  If I went home with him he would think that \u003cbr\u003eI am a slut, perhaps he does this with all the new women at the office?  I \u003cbr\u003ehadn’t heard such rumors though and the office was full of gossipers.  As a \u003cbr\u003ematter of fact, some of the women commented on his rugged good looks and made \u003cbr\u003egestures when he walked past, but not one of them ever mentioned having been \u003cbr\u003ewith him.  Their comments led me to believe that he was out of bounds.  On \u003cbr\u003eMonday I’d remember to ask them.  For now my dilemma was still on the table.  \u003cbr\u003eHe kept his lips close to my ear and again spoke so softly that I almost \u003cbr\u003ecouldn’t hear, “Only for a drink of course!”","brand":"Sea Island Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079060963568,"sku":"2940012897671","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012897671_p0.jpg?v=1763585222","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012897671","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
