Chapter 4
Chloe had to admit, when they stepped off the plane in France, she was impressed. Oliver's charm, money and good looks had them sailing through customs and a private car picked them up at the airport. Oliver paid no attention to personal space as they drove. He was always touching her. Leaning over to show her some amazing sight out the window. She almost strained her neck trying to look everywhere at once. When they reached the restaurant, she was too shell shocked to notice Oliver taking her arm, Oliver tucking her into his warm body as they walked to his personal table. La Petite-Dejeuner was intimate and charming and very very French. Oliver rattled off their order in French which for some reason made the butterflies suddenly show up again and she realized how close Oliver was sitting next to her in the small booth. As the garcon brought them water and a salad Oliver said, "You'll love their food Sidekick. Best food in Paris."
Oliver thought to himself, oh yeah, got her right where I want her. As he ordered a bottle of $500 wine, it was just lunch after all, he noticed Chloe rubbing her neck. "What's the matter Chloe, neck stiff?" Before she could say anything those incredibly talented hands were on her shoulders, then her bare neck, massaging and ramping up the butterflies to a hurricane. Involuntarily she let out a small moan. Oliver leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "is that better" in the sexiest voice she had ever heard. All she could do was nod her head yes. Oliver placed a small kiss to the back of her neck, "Well we don't want you tense. This is a working lunch. I have a few ideas about the organization of the team…." As Oliver and she discussed the team and the best way to organize their time, he again found little reasons to touch her, until she wasn't really conscious of them anymore. It almost seemed natural. Then he leaned in close again to show her something on a napkin he was trying to explain and her breathe caught in her throat, she could almost taste his skin. That was when Chloe knew she was in trouble.
