Free Stay With Me Tonight: A Drake Brothers Series (PART 1) by Whitney D.

grabbed the corkscrew and began to twist it into the cork.  The muscles in his forearms flexed and I couldn't take my eyes off of him.  He looked up out of the corner of his eye and caught my stare.  I looked away quickly.
                  “Please, don't stop if you like what you see...” he mused.
                  My cheeks flushed and I turned my head to try to hide it.
                  He brought me the glass of wine.  As I took it from him, our fingers grazed each others once again.  I wondered if he felt it too.  I looked at the glass and our fingers as they touched.
                  “You're so intriguing, Kate.  I can't get you out of my head.”
                  I looked up and he gazed into my eyes.  I took a small sip of the wine and licked my lips as I pulled the glass away from my mouth.  He took the glass from my hand and laid it on the table next to the sofa.
                  “Can I kiss you?”
                  My lips had been ready for him since the moment I stepped onto the boat, but I was in such a fog that all I could do was nod.  His lips crashed onto mine.  He was an amazing kisser.  His lips were soft, but the kiss was primal.  It showed me everything he hadn't said.  His hands went to either side of my face as he intensified the kiss.  Our tongues danced together and I started to wonder where this kiss was going when the sound of a throat clearing shook us from the moment.
                  “Excuse me, Mr. Drake... I am sorry to interrupt, but dinner is served,” a beautiful brunette stood in the entry way.
                  Bellamy ran a hand quickly through his hair.  He took my hand in his.
                  “Thank you, Beth,” Bellamy said as we made our way to the deck.
                  “Mr. Drake, I am going below now.  The bar is fully stocked and dessert is in the chiller.  Peter is at the helm and has set the course for tonight.  He should be pulling out shortly.  Have a lovely evening.  If you need anything at all, please buzz me,” Beth smiled at Bellamy as she made her way to the stairs that led down to the lower cabin of the boat.
                  The way she smiled at him made me want to claw her eyes out.  Was I jealous?  I couldn't be.  She was the hired help and I was the one he was wining and dining and... other things.  Beth was beautiful and it made me wonder if that was why he had hired her.  I was attracted to her beauty, so I am sure Bellamy was as well.  Bellamy led me to the deck and pulled the chair out for me to sit.  Bellamy took his seat next to me.  Plate covers blanketed the dishes.
                  “So, whats for dinner?” I questioned.
                  Bellamy lifted the plate covers in unison and just like in a movie, warm air with the scent of... pizza filled the air.
                  “Pizza?!” I laughed.
                  “What?” Bellamy joked with a smile.
                  “Not just any pizza, but my favorite pizza.  I wanted to share my favorite pizza with you,” he beamed.
                  “Well it smells amazing.  What kind is it?” I asked.
                  “Prosciutto, goat cheese, olive oil, roma tomatoes, garlic, pesto.”  He licked his lips as a sign he was ready to dig in.
                  We noshed on the pizza and it was delicious.  Probably one of the best pizzas I had ever eaten.  It was not a romantic meal by any means, in fact it was pretty laid back which I enjoyed.  I had been a ball of nerves before the date.  Worrying that I was much too normal and much too laid back to keep up with Bellamy's high priced lifestyle.  But somehow he made me feel at ease.  He made me feel like none of that mattered.  We talked a lot during dinner and enjoyed getting to know one
