    Denger shot her a quick look of disgust before he turned back to the road. “Too much, if you ask me. Having to live with them makes it harder to avoid them. And it doesn’t help that their husbands think it’s hilarious.”
    “It’s nice that you’re all so close.”
    “What about you? Do you have a big family?”
    “No, not really. Besides my mom and dad, I have an older brother two years my senior.”
    “And are you close with them?”
    “Yeah. I talk to Evan, my brother, at least once a week, along with my parents. I was actually talking to my mom when you buzzed up to my apartment. Just a word of warning, I told her about you and we’ve been invited over to my parents’ place for dinner sometime. Don’t worry, I won’t subject you to my family yet. My mom is a bit of a character and likes to say things that would shock a normal person.”
    Denger let out a burst of laughter. “I should introduce her to Kysen. He has that nasty habit as well. They would get along famously.”
    “He’s one of your roommates?”
    “Yes.”
    Pulling into the parking lot of a mid-sized Italian restaurant, Denger swung into one of the empty spaces and shut off the engine. Before Nyx could open the car door, he was there doing it for her. Holding her hand again, he guided her into the restaurant. The hostess quickly seated them at a table when Denger gave his name for a reservation for two.
    It didn’t take them long to decide what they wanted. Once the waitress arrived, Denger ordered for the both of them and they were alone again. Nyx found she had a hard time not running her gaze over Denger’s face and what she could see of his body where he sat across from her. He was so good-looking, Nyx noticed more than one woman in the restaurant stared at him with longing. She felt like telling them they 69

    could look all they wanted, but Denger was hers. She knew what it felt like to make love to him, to have his cock moving inside her.
    And just like that, Nyx’s mind went straight to the gutter. She found herself mentally stripping Denger’s shirt off, already knowing what lay underneath. How thickly padded his chest was with muscles and how his wide back narrowed down to a trim waist. And how his stomach muscles would jump when she ran a hand down them to take hold of his thick cock.
    Denger cleared his throat loudly. In a voice for her ears only, he said, “If you don’t stop staring at me like that I won’t be able to resist dragging you across this table and into my lap. Then I’ll give the rest of the customers a show they won’t soon forget.”
    Nyx’s face flushed and she bit back a groan. The images of what Denger would do to her flashed through her head, causing her libido to kick into high gear. Her nipples grew taut beneath her blouse and an ache built deep inside her pussy, eager to have Denger fill it with his cock.
    He said in a gruff, low voice, “By the gods, if you want me to make it through this meal without jumping on you, you’re going to have to help me. Think about something that won’t turn you on.”
    Pulling in a deep breath of air, Nyx nodded. “Sorry. I’ll try.”
    This was the second time she’d heard Denger say by the gods instead of using the singular. Perhaps it was a cultural thing?
    Their waitress then arrived with their meals. Nyx was more than thankful she hadn’t ordered something large. She was hungry, but it wasn’t for the food sitting in front of her. Her hunger was all for Denger.
    They finished their meals in record time and Denger was signaling their waitress for the check. He drummed his fingers impatiently on the table while they waited. When she came with it, he gave it a cursory glance and shoved a wad of cash into the waitress’s hand, telling her to keep the change. He then had them out of the restaurant 70
