Forbidden Heat

Dinner came to an end. I have to say that the dinner was perfect in every way. The food was delicious, and Edward was good company. Reiner stood at a respectable distance away from us throughout the whole dinner. I glanced at him a few times over the course of dinner, but he acted all cold and professional. I guess I should go home now before it got any later.

“Edward, thank you for today. I think I should go home now,” I started to excuse myself.

“What’s the hurry? I still have a couple of things to talk to you about,” Edward replied with a depressed look on his face.

“With all due respect, Sir Edward. Miss Natalia should head home now. It is getting late,” Reiner said as he came to stand by my side.

“20 minutes. Step outside for 20 minutes. I have some things to discuss alone with Natalia,” Edward half asked and half commanded Reiner to step outside. Reiner looked at me to seek my thought on the matter.

I have somethings to ask Edward as well in private. I gave Reiner a small nod signaling that I would like him to leave us alone. Without another word, Reiner walked out of the room.

“What did you want to talk to me about?” I asked Edward coming straight to the point. I have a few things I wanted to ask him as well.

“Nothing, really. I just miss you…” Edward teased me with his sugar-coated words again. He was beside my seat in no time and successfully pulled me up from my seat before leading me to the sofa.
