figured I could work my day job in an area where I made enough money to fit the lifestyle that I’ve become accustomed to. But also because of my education and my legal background, I’m able to help less fortunate clients that would most probably not be able to afford an attorney like me. So I see it as a little bit of a win-win.” He groaned. “Oh my God. I sound like I’m full of myself, don’t I? I sound like I have a big head.”
“Well are you big headed?” I laughed.
“Depends which head you’re asking about,” he said with a wink, and I blushed.
“So, shall we eat?” I said, as the waiters walked up to us with two more flutes of champagne, and we smiled at each other. I could feel myself becoming increasingly aroused and confused. I really liked Lucas. He was funny. He was easy to talk to. He seemed like he was really interested in me, and he was just so sexy and handsome. I wanted to run my fingers across his facial hair. I wanted to touch his lips, kiss him. I wanted to do so many things to him that I really shouldn’t. I felt guilty in a way, because I almost felt like I was cheating on Connor even though we had nothing serious.
But how could I like Connor and Lucas? I mean, obviously, both of them weren’t going to end up being the best guys because that just wasn’t possible. There weren’t two amazing guys in New York City that were both interested in me. One of them would have a flaw and knowing my luck, both of them would have a flaw, and then I’d be stuck with no one. But right now they both seemed amazing and right now they both seemed like guys I wanted to get to know better. They both seemed like guys I would want to date and have as my boyfriend and I couldn’t have two boyfriends. So I was going to need to figure out which one of them I had to dump sooner, rather than later. Because as each date went on, I was growing more and more attracted to both of them and I was going to find it harder and harder to say no to both of them. I was getting myself in a very sticky situation and I didn’t need it to be sticky in real life as well.
Things were getting complicated and I was going to have to figure out a way to decide which one of the guys I should get to know better and go all the way with. I wanted to be completely honest with myself and I knew I was feeling increasingly horny. I needed to get laid. I wanted both Connor and Lucas and I just couldn’t have both of them. That would just be too much, though the naughty side of me said, would it? Would it really be that bad? I shook my head slightly at the thought. There’s no way I could sleep with both guys. It would just make it even more complicated and complex. I couldn’t do it. I had to decide upon one. And once I figured out which one it would be, then I could go all the way. And I meant all the way.
After we finished our lunch, Lucas grinned at me, and I stared at him for a few seconds, slightly confused at his ardent expression.
“Oh, why are you staring at me and smiling like that?” I said. “You’re making me feel like I have something on my face or my nose or something. Do I have food all over myself? Because I wouldn’t be surprised.” I touched my face to feel for crumbs.
“No, I have your package, remember?”
“Oh yeah?” I grinned at him. “What is it?”
“You want me to undo your package right now in front of everyone?”
“I wouldn’t say no if you were offering it.”
His voice dropped slightly, “Gemma...”
“Yes, Lucas?”
“Which package is it you want to unwrap?”
“Hmm. Which package do you want me to unwrap?”
“Do you want the true answer?” He licked his lips lightly, and I shivered.
“Of course.”
“Then I’ll give you this one.” He pulled out a small box and handed it to me. It was wrapped in shiny gold paper and had a little bow on it. I laughed as I held it in my hands.
“What’s this, a present?” What could be in this small box? Had he gotten me
