into the restaurant, spotting Justin immediately. She watched him as she walked towards him. His eyes were all over her, undressing her, and she loved it.
    “Hey, babe,” Justin stood as she approached, pulling her to him and kissing her hard. Opening her mouth with his tongue, he immediately set her on fire as he did his magic. “This is a fabulous outfit that’s going to be on my floor tonight.”
    Rachel’s stomach furled with desire at his words. Dressed in a short denim skirt, a low cut tank top, and wedge sandals, with her red hair loose and curly, she knew she was hot. But his reaction to her made her think back to what Jessica said. She was right. Justin was a great guy who wanted her. She really needed to get over herself.
    “I can’t wait,” she purred in his ear. He pulled her to him, and she felt his excitement at their exchange. “You save that for me for later, and I promise I’ll show you a really, really good time.”
    Justin’s eyes darkened, and for a split second she thought he may be dragging her out of there right now. But he winked at her, recovered, and kissed her again. “I’ll be fantasizing about that every moment until then. Didn’t you say that your friends were coming?”
    Rachel turned, looking to the entrance just as Kayley, Ben, Emily, and her husband Trevor walked in. Her heart started beating erratically at the thought of introducing Justin to them. What if they didn’t get along? While Rachel had introduced them to many men over the time she had known them, with Justin it was different. He was trying to stick around. She wasn’t sure what her friends were going to think.
    Stepping back from Justin and linking her hand with his, she smiled as her friends made their way over to them. Kayley’s eyes looked at her, then Justin, and her eyebrows raised. Rachel knew exactly what she was thinking: 1. The man was hot, and 2. Rachel was holding hands with him.
    “So this is the infamous Justin,” Emily piped up, scanning him up and down abashedly. “I can see why you’ve been hiding him in your closet, Rach.”
    Rachel’s eyes widened at her friend, but before she could say anything, Kayley beat her to it. “Emily, please! Nice to meet you, Justin. I’m Kayley, and this is my husband, Ben.”
    Justin shook their hands, laughing, and they all settled down at the table to eat, drink, and watch the huge televisions on the walls.
    “He’s a looker, that’s for sure,” Kayley whispered to her as the men cheered loudly at the television up by the bar, leaving the girls sitting at the table to catch up.
    Rachel grinned at her. “I know, he definitely is,” she said, watching him interact with Ben and Trevor. “He seems to be getting along with the guys.”
    Kayley rolled her eyes. “It’s sports. Of course he’s getting along with them. He seems like a good guy, Rach. I’m happy to see you committing, feeling comfortable in a relationship.”
    “Me too,” Emily piped up. “Look at our men over there. Hottest guys in this whole place.”
    “Excuse me?” They were interrupted by a deep baritone voice. The three women turned to see a tall, handsome man around their ages standing next to their table. “Can I buy you ladies a drink?”
    The three laughed. “Well, we are actually with them over there,” Emily explained. “But thanks anyway.” The man followed their gaze, then looked back at them.
    “Well, they shouldn’t have left ladies as beautiful as you three alone to watch sports. Quite a shame.” Pulling out one of the chairs, he sat down next to Rachel.
    Rachel’s eyebrows raised at her two friends, all of them wondering how in the world to get rid of this guy. “Really,” she scooted her chair back. “They will be right back. Thanks so much for the offer, but we’re fine.”
    He leaned over, so close that she could feel his breath on her cheek. “How about I get your number? I can promise you that I would never leave you.”
    Rachel pinned him with a
