Riley would never deny that Jace was an attractive man. He just was and even with the confidence and swagger he had, he was still sexy without being over the top. Which was a good thing because Riley was by no means a flashy type of person. She much preferred keeping a low profile and doing homebody type things, which if she thought about it might not interest Jace all that much but she was getting up there in the years, heh, and was set in her ways.
A bright laugh parted her lips and she shook her head. "Great, just what I need," she said with a slight roll of her eyes. The whole cougar thing was just laughable in her opinion and the last thing she needed was for that to get splashed on the cover of some tabloid and her father to come across it. He'd likely end up having a heart attack. "Aww, I thought it was cute," she said as she feigned a pout. "But I suppose it's okay since you're still cute," she added with a wink.
Taking his arm, she gave a nod. "Oh really? Well, well, don't I feel special?" Which she actually did because clearly he meant that he was serious about this whole date thing. "Are you kidding? All of my shoes are dancing shoes." Flip flops, boots, didn't matter what they were, she could dance in them but then again, that came with the whole dancer territory and she had been born to dance.
Walking with him, they made their way out and hailed a cab. Slipping in, she waited for him to settle in next to her and even leaned against him a bit. "Thanks for asking me out to dinner," she said once they had given the driver their destination.
