The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0113

My jealousy toward Jessica is gone pretty quickly. Hard to be jealous of someone that is clearly getting shafted because of you.

When Rik asked about something no one else knows about me, the only thing that came to mind was this date. I’m sure there are other things, but my brain and my senses are being overwhelmed by Rik and I can’t think of anything beyond this moment. So, at the risk of him finding me foolish, I tell him.

Rather than him laughing at me or making some brusque comment about it, he almost seems happy. When he says he hopes that this is one of many firsts we’ll share together, I know exactly what he means. Artemis begins purring in my head again. Apparently, she’s on board. I’m not sure I’m there yet. His previous reputation still sits heavily in my mind and while this whole evening seems very out of character for him, it doesn’t mean that he’s changed.

My concentration is completely distracted again when he runs his tongue over my palm. I’d be lying if I said that eating appetizers has ever been this intense or so much fun.

This time when Jessica comes back, I look at Rik. “What do you suggest for dinner?”

He smiles. “You’ve already had my favorite. Filet and lobster tail.” I return his smile. So my gift was his favorite dish.
