"I was hoping I wasn't either."
There was the confirmation she'd been hoping for. He felt it too; something beyond the professional boundaries they had established was budding.
But now, Illy wondered how they would navigate this new development. She didn't know where she stood with him, and she certainly didn't want to make things awkward, especially considering he was still her boss.
She turned her head to face him, eyes low.
"So, this lunch... Is it because you were planning to..." How should she phrase it? "Proposition me..?" She trailed off, watching his lips curve up on a smile.
"You really don't like surprises, do you?"
Illy chuckled nervously, glancing down at her lap, "I guess I'm just a little impatient."
He glanced sideways, "I was hoping to talk about things over lunch."
So he'd been eager to take their relationship to another level. She knew she wasn't delusional.
"Why?"
The word slipped out, but she wasn't sure what she was even asking.
Why had he waited until now?
Why was he interested in her in the first place?
His gaze locked on the road ahead, "From the moment I met you," He admitted, "Your charming personality, your intelligence and... your eyes, they've captivated me."
Heat crept up Illy's neck, and she bit deep into her lower lip.
That makes two of us. She thought his own eyes were gorgeous, the color of storm clouds.
She wondered, though, if his intentions were just for something fleeting- or if he wanted more than just to be her boss with benefits.
"But I didn't want to scare you off," He chuckled, loosening his tie, and she thought he looked a bit nervous, "I was hoping to impress you first, so now you've put me on the spot- a bit."
"I didn't mean to," She replied, playful, "But I've been in my head so much about it that I really couldn't keep it to myself."
Dominik's grip tightened on the steering wheel, glancing at her briefly before focusing on the road again, "You've been thinking about me?"
She averted her eyes, "I...yes."
She heard him make a low sound in his throat, like he was contemplating something.
"Illy..."
"Yes?" She looked up.
He was staring straight ahead, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. She could sense his anticipation, and her own pulse started to quicken.
