Paul stared down at Danielle admiring her beauty. Her milk chocolate skin made him think of all kinds of erotic pleasures. There had always been an attraction between them, but Danielle didn't believe in casual sex, at least that's what she told herself mentally. Paul met Danielle two years ago when she came back home for a charity function. He made it known that he was interested, but Danielle let him know that she wasn't.

"So Danni, what brings you back to the A?" He folded his arms across his chest.

"I came to visit for a few weeks and then I'm off to Italy."

"Well maybe you won't mind spending some time with me, as just friends of course. In fact since we are here, how about we grab some lunch."

Danni looked up at him and contemplated if this would be a good idea. She knew that she was attracted to Paul and she hadn't planned on seeing him so soon. She knew that before she left Atlanta she would eventually run into him.

"Paul I appreciate the offer, but I just re-"

"Danni, stop making excuses and have lunch with me. I'm not the big bad wolf that will huff, puff and blow your house down; although there are other things that I can do." He flashed a cocky grin.

"See that right there is the reason I can't take you serious and that's why I won't have breakfast, lunch or dinner with your ass." She tried pushing past him.

"Danni I'm sorry. Seriously will you have lunch with me." He grabbed her elbow looking at her with sincere eyes.

She sighed and blew out a exasperated breath. Rolling her eyes she agreed to have lunch with him. She just hoped that she didn't live to regret doing so. She let him lead the way as his hand rested on the small of her back. One innocent touch sent a chill down her spine. They found a table in the crowded bar and grill.

Once they took their seats they remained silent, but Paul couldn't help but stare at how beautiful Danni was. She wasn't overly made up. She had that natural beauty that Paul loved regardless to the kind of women you saw on his arm.

Danni looked up to find Paul staring intently at her. It made her fidget in her seat. She was used to men and women staring at her because this was normal for her as a model. That didn't bother her, but the way that Paul was looking at her was very different. It made her stomach flutter.

"Can I have my face back?" She said hastily.

Paul chuckled and Danni could have sworn her panties melted. He rubbed his neatly groomed beard and continued to stare at her.

"Danni you should be used to this kind of attention. I'm not different that any other male that stares at you." He reasoned.

Yeah they are not as sexy as you. Danni thought.

Danni was thankful when the waitress finally approached. Paul was really tearing her nerves up. They gave the waitress their drink orders. As soon as she left that awkwardness returned. Danni hated being all flustered around him and she knew why she was, but she damn sure wasn't about to act on it.

"So Paul are you still bedding them and then moving on to the next one. I recall that's how you were doing things." She smirked.

"Actually Danni, I haven't been bedding anybody lately. I want more than sex." He narrowed his already slanted eyes as he looked at her.

"Yeah right. I know damn well you not ready to throw in the towel. You like have your choice of different women, Paul so tell that bull to someone that's an airhead." She rolled her eyes.

"Danni, I'm twenty-nine, soon to be thirty and I know what I want. Hell I know who I want to, but I'm going to let her figure out that she wants me too. When she realizes and accepts what the inevitable is then she will be the only one that has my attention and most importantly my heart."

Danni could only stare at him blankly. She was afraid to ask who she was. When she saw their waitress returning she sent up a silent prayer that she would get through this lunch.

Kara was now at the spa getting pampered. Dray had to go tend to some business and he made sure that she was taken great care of. Kara wasn't really used to this type of treatment. She was enjoying the deep tissue massage. This was something that she needed and she had to thank Dray for this. She had already had her manicure and pedicure done.

Her phone rung startling her from her thoughts. She looked at the screen when she saw that it was Jeff. She already knew how this conversation was about to go.

"Hello Jeff." She said laughingly.

"You better have something good to tell me, something like 'Dray gave me my life back' or 'Dray recharged my battery'." Jeff said rolling his eyes as if Kara could see him.

"Mmm...Jeff don't start." She moaned as the masseuse hit the right spot.

"Bitch are you getting the ding dong with me on the phone? I said get your life back, but damn nasty much." He frowned.

"Jeff I refuse to deal with you today. What's going on there?"

"Same old shit. Mother hen still trying to find out about you. I told Cierra's ass that we didn't have any chick feed for her ass. I tried to get her to go with her family of pigeons, but hell they don't want her either."

"Oh my God! I can't with you." She chuckled.

"Girl please. Anyway how is LA?"

"It's amazing here and I am having an amazing time with Dray."

"Yeah in more ways than one. You gon' bring your ass back her crypt walking by the time he get through drilling you with his high endurance power tool."

"Jeff you are so inappropriate."

"Boo that's the only way I know how to be. Anyhoo I wanted to call and check up on you and make sure you were really enjoying yourself. It sounds like you are and I'm so glad chile."

"I am. I will see you soon and stay out of trouble."

"Tuh, girl bye. Trouble is my middle name. Smooches babe."

"Smooches."

Kara disconnected the call and finished the last few minutes of her massage.

Dray had just finished the last touches to his attire. He placed his Cartier watch on and smoothed the sleeves to his Armani dress shirt down. He had his diamond cuff links at the cuffs. Dray was laced in Armani all the way down to his, black leather loafers. He looked like he should be gracing GQ magazine with his model good looks and sexiness. He was sure to turn heads, but the only head he was interested in turning was Kara's.

Kara decided to get dressed in one of the other rooms. She wanted to surprise him in the dress and shoes that she had gotten. Kara managed to get him out of the boutique long enough to pick out what she wanted without him seeing what she had gotten. Dray couldn't wait to see what she had picked out. Whatever she had, he already knew that she was going to be stunning.

As he gave himself one final look, he was satisfied. He headed down stairs to wait for Kara. His heart beat in anticipation of what she was going to be wearing. He took a seat on the sofa and waited for Kara to make her entrance.

Kara stood in the full length mirror. She nervously ran her hands down the sides of her back midi dress. The dress was a custom design by a new designer. It was all lace up top and the bottom was like satin. The dress hugged her curvy frame and small waist. There was a split up the left leg, showing off her smooth thigh. Her hair was pinned up with loose tendrils at the temple and her nape.

Diamond earrings adorned her ears. That was her only piece of jewelry. The style of the dress didn't call for much. The dress itself was making a statement. Kara added her red matte lipstick and looked down at her heel clad feet. Her strappy stilettos paid homage to her toned calves. The way the straps crossed over each other made you stop and look.

Finally feeling like she was ready, she walked out grabbing her clutch. The click of her sexy heels could be heard on the marble floors. The sway of her full hips made their on beat as she walked sultry to Dray. She could see him scrolling through his phone as she entered the living area.

"Dray." Kara said softly.

He turned and stood to his full height slowly. His eyes caressed every single inch of her frame. He walked slowly over to her and Kara admire how good he looked. He was sexy as all hell. The way that his eyes darkened as he walked towards her not taking his eyes off hers, did things to Kara.

"Baby you are amazing. You look amazing." He circled around her.

"Thank you. You look amazing yourself."

"Thanks. Now let's go handle this business meeting because we have our own private meeting when we get back." He winked and flashed his dimple grin as he led them out.

Damn that man and all his sexiness.....

Excuse Mistakes!
