not? Damn it.
    Cooper continues. “We are both here and it has been a long day. I can’t think of another person I would rather spend my dinner with.”
    I throw my hands up in surrender. “Why not? But I have one question, did you know when you asked me where I was staying you were staying here and why didn’t you tell me?”
    “I did know but I didn’t want to freak you out. You were already a nervous wreck. I really didn’t even think we would run into each other although I won’t lie, I’d hoped we would. I am actually here to escort someone back to Austin early tomorrow.”
    We sat in the hotel restaurant and ate a steak and shrimp dinner. I had a glass of wine and started to relax. I couldn’t help staring in his eyes. I kept trying to figure out what was different about them. When he talked, his eyes didn’t lie. They looked like they had this hope and trust in them. He reached across the table and stroked my hand. Damn it felt good . I don’t remember ever being touched by a man so minimally and having flames on my skin. He gave me goose bumps and I swear I felt like I had a swimming pool in my panties. There was never a quiet moment.
    We kept the conversation light and he sipped on a beer. Clearly neither of us were big drinkers as the entire dinner we only had that one drink. Trust me, I watched.  We were both comfortable with each other. This was unfamiliar territory for me and I am sensing it was for Cooper too.
    He was a perfect gentleman and paid for dinner and then walked me up to my room. He even carried my bag. Chivalry was not dead after all.  He kissed me on the cheek and told me good night. Never in my life have I wanted a man to drag me in his room and ravish me like I do with Cooper. This man had this effect on me. I could lose my heart and soul with this man. I know I could, I felt it in my bones. He made sure I got in the room and then I peeked out the peephole and then heard the door shut. He was in the room right beside me!!! Holy hell, this could be bad. No, it can’t. Yes, it can. No, Ashlynn, you have total self control so use it!
    I plopped down on my bed and called McKoy immediately. I felt like I had been on a first date and had to tell someone.
    “Hey McKoy, it’s me. I made it to the hotel safe. I had a good flight, well as good as it can be for me, girl, you know how I am. I met a gorgeous man on the plane who just happened to buy me dinner and now he is right next door from….”
    “SCREEECHHHHHH, Oh my god Ash, No way. How hot is he? What did he look like?  What are you waiting for? Go get you some girl! You have to let go and live.”
    I don’t think McKoy took a single breath in between those sentences.
    McKoy always has this innocence about her, but behind the bedroom door she was a total different person. She was a one man type of woman though. She didn’t play the field. She already knew whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. McKoy was just waiting for Beau to understand what was right in front of his face. She made her man work for it. I guess that came from her being close to her grandfather and being held to his high standards. I wasn’t so lucky.
    “McKoy, he is gorgeous. The most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen, like a 10! His eyes look like they can see right through me. His smile is earth shaking. His body would fit perfect against mine. I actually have already been picturing him on top of me. What the hell is that, Mc? Seriously that is not how I work. He is a perfect gentleman and he says the sweetest words to me. He tries to protect me and he barely even knows me.”
    “Ashlynn, stop this nonsense. He might be all that but look girl this is not about anything other than letting go and having a good time. What will it hurt? Just shut off your never-ending list and let go!  Stop over thinking everything damn it. Relax and let whatever is going to happen, happen. That way you don’t have any regrets. Every man is not like every male you’ve
