wasn’t
fair otherwise.
    That would help her with her decision. Or, she could just
continue to date both.
    Sara sat a little straighter. That was it. Why not? Men
dated multiple women all the time. She could see each one on different days. She
slumped down again. What if they found out?
    Beau was a meat-eater and ordered his food rare. Sara had
that much in common with him. She ordered the beef also and surely was mistaken
when she thought Beau’s eyes glowed with pleasure.
    “What do you do for a living?” she asked him while they ate.
    “Mechanical engineer. I like to work with my hands.” He
flashed a smile at her. “What do you want from our relationship, Sara?”
    “I honestly have no idea. I didn’t plan on meeting anyone.”
    “Since this relationship is moving along the way I like it, at
the speed of light, keep in mind that I’d like you to move in with me one day
soon. Have you to myself.”
    Sara’s mouth dropped. “Your relationships always move along
this quickly?”
    “No. Not like you.”
    “You’d grow bored with me within a week.” It was too soon,
he didn’t know her. It couldn’t possibly work out.
    His eyes flashed and he sounded serious when he spoke. “Never.”
    “Just the same, I think I’ll stay in my own apartment for a
while. Working at my own job.”
    “How satisfying is your job?”
    Sara shrugged. “It pays the rent.” Barely. “Like any job,
there are people I enjoy and people I don’t. It works for now.”
    “Should you want a change, I want you to know I’m open and
amenable for it. I have a lot of contacts, I could help you move on.”
    She smiled at him. “I’ll keep it in mind.”
    And then she wondered if he wanted to help her, or keep her
under his thumb. She was being silly, she chided her suspicious self.
    They were the last ones in the restaurant. Sara looked
around, surprised. Time had passed so quickly, she wasn’t even aware of it.
    “I guess we should get going?” Beau asked, noticing her glance
around the room.
    “Not fair to keep them open all night for us,” she agreed.
    Beau paid the bill and she didn’t try to peek at how much it
was, although she was curious.
    “I could give you an allowance,” he mentioned slowly.
    “No way. I’m sleeping with you. It’d be like prostitution.”
    “It’s never like that with us. We have an unconventional
relationship that doesn’t conform to anyone else’s rules. I need you to come to
me if you need anything.”
    She was going to need more clothes soon if she kept up her
constant dating, but there was no way she was mentioning that. She’d just
admitted it to herself and that was difficult. Explaining the situation to Aric
and Beau would be damn near impossible.
    They arrived at his car and once seated, he turned to her. “Where
to?”
    “It’s late. My place.”
    Instead of driving her directly home, he drove to a secluded
lot across from her apartment and parked, then pulled her into his arms.
    “All night long, I sat across from you and wanted this,” he
murmured, his lips settling onto hers.
    They made out like teenagers for long minutes and when she
pulled away to string kisses along his jaw, she was surprised to see the steamy
car windows.
    Her mouth was at his neck and she tenderly sucked at it.
    Beau groaned. “Just a little harder, baby. Oh, that’s it
exactly. You’ll drive me wild,” he warned.
    She pulled back with a smile. “Maybe we should leave our
dating for weekends only?”
    “Absolutely not. I want weeknights and weekends and any days
off. But if we don’t stop, I’ll take you in the front seat of my car.”
    Sara straightened her rumpled clothing while he got out of
the car and stretched, making his way around to her side.
    Taking her arm possessively, he walked her into the front of
the building, the same area where he’d picked her up.
    “Do you have to work tomorrow?” he asked. “Can you play
hooky?” He hauled her up close to him, so she could feel the
