Mr. Player Meet Ms. Mistress

Chapter 10

I pulled in front of Romero's 15 minutes later my mood slightly darker after another encounter with the police in only a matter of days. The valet guy opened my door and held out his hand to me so that I could get out. 

I gave him a gracious smile and took his hand swiftly stepping out of my car and handing over my keys and a tip to the boy. "Take care of it for me." I breathed, barely noticing the almost love struck smile on the boys face. 

"Usually you tip them after they've done the job" A familiar voice said from beside me. My smile disappeared and I turned to look at Dorian with a glare. "A little incentive with a promise of a greater reward afterwards goes along way. Besides that boy needs money more than I do. That's the honorable thing to do. Not that you would know anything about honor." I threw at him.

"I don't think we are talking about me winning that little wager of ours" Dorian stated, tucking his hands into his pockets and looking like a male model that just stepped out of a photoshoot. 

"You didn't win anything, you cheated and therefore forfeited the wager. I don't owe you anything." I smirked, feeling alittle smug that I had managed to find a loop hole. I turned to saunter into the restaurant but the feel of Dorian's hand grasping my arm stopped me from walking away.

"This mean pissed off attitude has nothing to do with the fact that I cheated, but has eveything to do with the fact that for once you didn't come out on top of a situation." Dorian smirked, seeming completely unfazed. "Besides I only wagered for a kiss. Its not like I was asking you to sign over your soul" 

At first I didn't reply. To tell you the truth I didn't know how to respond to his words. "Or are you simply worried that you might want more after I let you kiss me?" Dorian questioned his brow cocked waiting for my answer. There it was. Dorian knew I couldn't stand down a challenge especially if it would make me look like I was attracted to Dorian if I didn't step up. He was playing me and by the cocky glint in his eyes he knew I knew exactly what he was doing. 

I felt my annoyance shoot up another level. "Fine. You won fair and square." I said through clenched teeth. "Now be a darling and take care of this for me" I slapped his chest with the newest ticket I received from law enforcement and pulled my arm out of his grasp before sauntering into Romero's.

Dorian's POV

I couldn't help but chuckle in amusement as I caught the ticket before it fell to the ground and tucked it into my dinner jacket as I watched Nora saunter away in that haughty and sexy way that she does. 

I followed after her, coming up behind her just as she stepped up to the small stand where they sat people. "We have a reservation, I believe its under the last name Chance." I heard Nora say to the lady. I had to bite my lip to hold back the smirk when the lady looked up after a minute of skimming the list. "Sorry there is no table reserved under that name" the girl stated politely. 

"I think what she meant to say is, we have a reservation under the last name Trenton. A table for two." I supplied smiling as the girl found the name and collected two menus before motioning us toward the dining hall. 

Nora turned to glare at me, that fiery attitude just brimming beneath her calm exterior. "Really? You reserved the table under my name?" She snapped. I couldn't help but smirk down at her. "A little cocky don't you think? Assuming that I would come out to dinner with you just because you nearly caught me in a compromising position and are now blackmailing me for it."
