“Love your enthusiasm,” Chad said with a grin.
He took my luggage easily in one hand, but we still used the elevator. On the way to his home, we spoke a bit about the upcoming week and what Bella was planning. It was endearing that the entire family was driving with her to Disney World.
When we stepped inside his house, I felt a little bit on edge.God, is this really a good idea?I'd been so excited that I hadn't considered the pros and cons too carefully.
I glanced out the huge window into the courtyard and sighed. "The tree lights are already on."
"I knew you’d enjoy them. Let's go straight outside. I have a surprise for you."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Really? More surprises than this?"
This man is determined to make me fall for him, isn’t he?
We moved outside, and as I approached the tree, I immediately noticed a blanket underneath it along with some comfy pillows. There were also a few trays covered with glass lids.
"I'll bring something to drink too," he said nonchalantly as if he didn't just knock my socks off.
"You prepared this for us. When did you have time to do it?"
"I left the office at around six. That gave me plenty of time to think about how to pamper you tonight. Go lie down on the blanket. I'll bring everything."
"No, I can—”
"Scarlett," he said in a warning tone.
"Got it. I'm just going to lie down there and do nothing—except look at you."
He smirked. "Precisely."
As he disappeared inside the house, I took off my shoes. I loved the feeling of thick grass under my feet. He must have laid several blankets on top of one another, because it was super soft and comfy. I wanted to stay here forever.
I laid down on my back, hands bundled under my head, and looked up at the gorgeous tree. I felt like I was in a dream or something. This was so romantic.
Chad joined me a few minutes later with a bottle of wine. As he pulled out the cork, I pushed myself up into a sitting position. I watched him pour a bit and then hand it to me.
"Let me know if you like it," he said.
Like I was going to criticize it after all the trouble he went to. But I didn't have to because the wine smelled absolutely delicious. I took a sip and then another one.
"I love it," I confessed.
“Perfect!” He poured more for both of us before putting the bottle in the ice bucket and taking the lids off the trays. It was an assortment of cheese and grapes. I wasn't hungry at all, but I loved having a snack with the alcohol.
He positioned himself somehow behind me, and I protested, turning around. "No, not there. Stay here where I can see you."
"Relax. You're tired, sugar," he said. The affection in his tone reached deep inside me. Chad was very affectionate and charming, and I loved it.
I leaned back, comfortably resting on his chest. But far from relaxing, I was starting to get sexy ideas inspired by all those hard pecs I was lying against.
I dropped my head back slightly, resting it on his shoulder. Seconds later, the tip of his nose moved down my neck. I felt that touch intimately, as if he had run his fingers between my thighs. Moaning, I pressed my legs together.
"What do you need to relax tonight, Scarlett? Tell me and I'll make it happen."
"You. I just want you."
He put his hands on my shoulders, then pressed up and down along my spine.
"This is good," I said. I could feel myself relaxing, but it wasn't nearly enough. I had no idea why I was so insatiable. This was completely new to me.
