Yes, Mr Knight novel Chapter 18

I never thought that I would see the day that I would be sitting across a candlelit table from Mason Knight, Heartthrob and Billionaire!! For a man that doesn't do dates,he sure was impressing the hell out of me.

-I was impressed with the homemade vegetarian meal that Mason had prepared for us,had me surprised at how he is in the kitchen. I've never had a man cook me a meal before.

-The mood during dinner that he had set with the candles and the light music was romantic,even though I thought the man to be anything but. I liked that he made the effort

-The nicely flowing conversation that was going back and forth between us was the icing on the cake for me, he seemed interested in holding a conversation.

All of this information is bullet pointed in my head,the bullet points of what a good guy he can be. But at the end of it all,this is just one night and that's all it will ever be. I can't hope for more.

"So what's the verdict,Jamie?"Mason was sitting in front of me,with his elbows on the table and his hands clasped together in front of his mouth.

My lips quirked up into a smile."Dessert is amazing,Just like the dinner that you made.I'm surprised that you know your way around the kitchen like you do."

I was feeling a little guilt for even saying that. I guess I just thought that he would have a chef around that had cooked the meal for us. The meal that he made was better than anything that I've ever tasted-restaurants included.

He chuckled,at my remark."Why does it surprise you that I know my way around the kitchen-Is it because I'm a man?"

"Exactly,It is because you're a man."I chuckled back at him."I just figured that you would have had your own personal chef doing all the cooking tonight."

Mason rested back in his chair."You must have a brother?"

"Actually I do! He's disgraceful at the Bachelor lifestyle,he burns toast like every single time he puts it in the toaster.One time my parents went away on Holiday and he lived on pocket Pizzas for a week,because my Mom wasn't there to cook his meals for him."

He chuckled."Well I'm nothing like your brother,not all men are the same. I do have a chef,but I like to cook sometimes too. I find it therapeutic."

I finally know something about him,he likes to cook.That's a pretty hot trait for a man to have in my opinion,it's even better that he looked damn good doing it.

"And your chef didn't help you out with any of the Prep for tonight's dinner?"I smirked,and waited for him to answer my question.

After taking a couple of swigs from his beer,Mason placed the bottle back on the table."My chef was off the clock tonight,but I had a recipe book of my Mother's that came in handy."

That's cute,He used his Mom's recipe book to prepare a meal for our date tonight."My Mom has one of those that she's been adding to throughout the years.Your Mom must be a great cook."

"She was."Mason looked away with a sigh,and paused a couple of seconds like he was trying to form the words to say more."My Mother passed away a couple of years ago."

Crap!! Great going,Jamie. Bringing up his Dead Mother on a date,is one way to kill the mood.I didn't know that his Mother was gone,it's not something that ever came up in conversation with anyone.

"I'm so sorry,I didn't know."Obviously in my mind I was wondering how she passed,but it's not a question I wanted to ask him. Looking at him it was quite clear that it was a very sensitive subject.

"It's fine,It's not something I like to talk about."He stood from his chair and picked up the dishes after our dessert."Why don't you get comfortable on the couch and I'll clear these away?"

"Do you want some help? I'm no stranger to dirty dishes thanks to Carmen."I was already getting up from my chair,preparing to help him.

"I have them.We have one date,so I might as well do it right.Relax in the living area and I'll bring over some wine."He winked at me,before walking towards the kitchen with the dirty dishes in hand.

Mason Knight was trying to be the perfect Gentleman,although both of us clearly knew that isn't the man he is.He asked for one more night with me and I asked him for a date,it's nice to see that he's pulling out all the stops.

I crossed the room to the living area in my bare feet,looking around the home that he lived in. I couldn't help but wonder how many Girls have been in his space,butt naked on his couch and being pleasured by him. It bugged me a little just to think about it.

One night,Jamie! Remember!

I picked up a framed photo off the sideboard and looked at it,it was one of Harry and Mason with a beautiful dark haired woman who is assume is his mother. It was obvious actually,she had the same dark eyes as he does.

"Her name was Penelope."Mason was standing behind me when I turned around,and he was holding a beer bottle and a glass of wine in his hands.

"Your Mother was a very beautiful woman."I smiled lightly,at him."You look like her a lot,I think it's the eyes."

"Hearing that would have made her happy,it's something that she always loved to hear."He handed me my wine glass and took the framed photo from my hand. He glanced down at it, but only for a split second before he placed it on the sideboard face down.

I watched him,as he stood looking at the sideboard in thought. Most likely thought about his mother since we were on the subject."It must be hard for you and your Father being without her. I've never lost anyone close to me,so it's not something that I'm familiar with."

"You're luckier then most."Mason set his beer bottle down and took the wine glass from my hands. He pulled me close to him,by placing his arms around my waist."I've been dying to kiss you all night."
