Free Breaking Love Full Hearts 2 by Mj Summers

this, Megan. Someone who wants to see you smile.”
    Megan shook her head. “You’re maybe the most romantic man I’ve ever met.”
    “So, will you admit that this is a date, then?”
    Megan laughed. “Do you always get what you want?”
    “Almost always. I can count one or two times that I didn’t,” he teased.
    “Somehow I believe that.”
    They could feel the boat move as it set off from the pier, quietly cutting through the water. Megan knew her chance to flee was now gone and she was shocked at how happy that made her. Suddenly, her cellphone rang, interrupting the moment. Megan dug around in her purse to find it.
    “It’s my son. Will you excuse me?” Megan asked, wondering how Luc would react to the reality of her life.
    “Of course.” He smiled, seemingly unfazed.
    Megan walked over to a far corner of the room as she answered the phone and sat on a couch.
    “Hello?”
    “Hi, Mom! How’s Paris?”
    “It’s great, honey. How are you?”
    “Good. Grandma let me stay up an hour after bedtime and I got to eat chips on the couch last night and right now we’re on our way to a movie!”
    “Wow! Sweetie, it sounds like you’re having a terrific time! I’m so glad.”
    “Yup, turns out I love it when you go on a holiday. You can stay longer if you want, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you. I do.”
    “I love you too, little man.”
    “Bye, Mom!”
    “Wait, Elliott! Can I talk to Grandma?”
    “Nope, she’s driving.”
    “Alright, tell her I love her too and I hope things are going well.”
    “Will do. See you soon! Love you. Bye!”
    “Bye-bye.”
    Megan ended the call and smiled down at her phone; a picture of Elliott smiled back at her. As much as she loved her little boy, she was far overdue for a break. She looked up at Luc, who was sitting at a table near the window, talking to the server. Elliott was fine and there was no reason for her to feel guilty for being here. She did deserve some romance, and if Luc wanted to give this to her, why shouldn’t she let that happen? She was an adult. She could enjoy herself and then go home without expecting it to turn into forever, couldn’t she?
    She got up and walked over to the table, seeing Luc gaze at her as she moved toward him. He stood as she approached him, then reached out and began undoing the buttons of her coat. “Everything okay back home?”
    Megan was yet again shocked at herself, as she had been most of the day. This time it was for allowing him to unbutton her coat. “Yes. Elliott is having such a wonderful time that he wants me to stay longer.”
    “He sounds like a smart boy. Maybe you could,” he said, sliding the coat off her shoulders and staring into her emerald eyes.
    Megan blinked slowly, completely turned on. “I can’t. I need to be home for the weekend. I have a photo shoot I’ve already postponed to be here.”
    “That’s a shame. I don’t think I’ll be ready to let you go in two days.” Luc hung her coat on the back of her chair and pulled it out for her to sit down.
    “So, this will be the third time in your life you didn’t get your way, then?” Megan smiled as she sat.
    Luc took his seat and was about to say something when they were interrupted by the server bringing a bottle of champagne and two glasses. He uncorked the bottle and poured it for Luc to taste. Luc gave a quick nod and the server poured a glass for each of them.
    “ Je reviens tout de suite avec les entrées ,” he said.
    “ Merci ,” Luc said.
    He turned back to her, explaining that the waiter would return with appetizers. Then he commented, “You know, neither of us is getting what we want here. You claim you don’t want to be on a date, and I will have to let you go sooner than I want.”
    “True. It seems like we’re both destined to be miserable.”
    “I can’t think of anyone I would rather be miserable with.”
    “To misery!” Megan held up her glass in a toast.
    “To the pleasure of torment.”
