Free Just Lunch by Addisyn Jacobs Page A

matched his eyes, my bare arms tanned from my recent weekends at the pool. Patent nude-colored pumps, classic gold hoop earrings, and my pale gold satchel completed my look. Inside the restaurant, I walked toward him, heart pounding, and saw him look up and catch my eye. He beamed, standing as I approached, and held his arms out for a hug.
    “Lexi, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?”
    I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed, my senses acknowledging his firm body as we pressed together. He smelled incredible, his spicy cologne mixing with his intoxicating natural male scent. “I’m great! It’s good to see you, too.” Maybe I was imagining it, but he held on to me a little longer than necessary, and smoothed his hands down my back as he released me. Every inch of my body sizzled with the contact. We settled into our seats and smiled at each other. “How are you doing? How’s life in San Diego?”
    “I absolutely love it. Work is great, and I’m learning how to surf, which has been so much fun. And you can’t beat the weather.”
    “That’s awesome, I’m so glad you like it. I’ve always wanted to learn how to surf. Is it hard?” I asked.
    “Once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy, as long as you stick to the little waves.”
    A waiter came over and took our drink order, and as he walked away I glanced at the menu. “What’s good here?” I asked.
    “Their wraps are amazing. Your mind will be blown.”
    “Oh yeah?” I laughed. “Do they have a buffalo chicken wrap? They’re my favorite.”
    “It’s your lucky day,” he grinned.
    “I can’t wait,” I replied, smiling at his enthusiasm. I couldn’t help but think about having my mind blown in other ways, more specifically by him sliding his cock inside me. Fuck. This was not good. Less than ten minutes into lunch and I’m already thinking about his cock. Focus . Grabbing my silverware wrapped in a napkin, I disassembled the pieces, laying the cloth across my lap. I took my time arranging the cutlery, aware that he was watching my every move. My hands drifted into my lap, fingers twisting the sapphire cocktail ring I wore on my right ring finger. “So what part of the city do you live in?” I asked.
    “I’ve got a place right on the ocean in Mission Beach, about fifteen minutes away from here. Rocco loves the ocean.” Rocco was his dog, I remembered, a rescue who was Austin’s baby.
    “Oh yeah, Rocco, how’s he doing? I never did get to meet him, did I?”
    “No, I guess you never did. You should come meet him while you’re here. When do you leave?” he asked, his eyes mischievous. He leaned forward, his hands moving toward the center of the table. If I reached out, I could touch him.
    “I leave for the airport tomorrow around three.”
    “What are you up to tonight?”
    “I’ve got this dinner event for the conference until seven thirty.”
    “That’s perfect, I’ll just be leaving work. I can swing by and pick you up on my way home.”
    I glanced up as a gorgeous blonde woman strutted toward our table, dropping my gaze back to his as she continued by. I couldn’t help but be impressed when his eyes never left mine as he waited for my answer.
    “I don’t know, I’ve got an important conference call first thing tomorrow morning…” This was the deciding moment. If I said yes, I’d get the chance to be alone with him. As much as I wanted him, I still didn’t know if I could go through with it.
    “I’ve got a hot tub on my deck,” he said in a sing-song voice, a huge smirk on his gorgeous face.
    Well, now I was screwed. Just the thought of being in a hot tub with Austin instantly made me wet. No way was I turning down the chance to see him shirtless. Imagining the two of us almost naked in a tub of steaming water sent my heart into overdrive. “I can’t say no to that offer,” I said, grinning back at him. Game on. “But I don’t have a bikini with me.”
    “Guess you’ll just have to go in
