I smile a toothy grin. "I didn't know you hadn't been with anyone since our meeting. I knew you hadn’t been with anyone since we started dating, but I'm so happy you have been the entire time." I throw him down and plant kisses all over his face. The kisses turn hungry and he flips me over. Lying on my back, he’s above me, looking down with a tenderness in his eyes. I don't want to overanalyze what that tenderness could mean. I will wake up one day and realize this was all a dream.

"You're beautiful, Dani."

I smile and bring his head back down to mine. We kiss for what seems like hours. I lift the hem of his shirt, letting him know I'm ready for more. He takes his shirt off with one swift move and my dress quickly follows his onto the floor. I start moving my hips against his jeans. Sweet friction. The response is involuntary. I don't know how long we've been grinding against each other, but I'm on the brink of release.

I moan. "Baby. Faster, please." He smiles down at me but does the opposite of what I asked making me whine. My inner independent woman growls at my rebellion, but I don't care. I need a release. He gets up and pulls off his jeans.

My breath catches because Jake is beautiful. My heart starts beating faster. His chest is muscular, and his six-pack is out in all its glory. My eyes go big as I see the bulge in his navy boxer briefs. He looks massive. Good thing we are not going all the way tonight. He'd crush my hymen in a millisecond and she's not ready for that.

He joins me back on the bed and smiles at me. I go back to whining. "You're mean."

He laughs. "No, baby. The more I tease you, the better your orgasms will be tonight."

"Orgasms? As in plural?" I breathe out. My lower stomach clenches tight.

He starts kissing my neck. "Yes. Baby, I can't wait to teach you how much I desire you. How much I care for you. Your education starts tonight."

I'm practically purring. Jake moves back between my legs, grinding hard against me. Wow. That does feel better. I rock my hips. He lifts completely up, teasing me. Full-blown need takes over my body. When he comes back down, I take my hands and grab his very muscular ass. Hearing his intake of breath, I become bolder. I take my hands and go inside his boxer briefs, grabbing his ass in all its masculine wonder. I push him down hard between my legs while rocking my hips up. He groans and sets a faster pace. We both begin to grunt in unadulterated pleasure. "Oh, baby. Please."

Jake deepens his kiss and his thrusts. I feel hypnotized, lost in the moment. I scream his name as I reach my release, and he quickly follows. He places his forehead gently on top of mine as we both come down from our collective exhalation.

"Baby, that was amazing. You made me come in my shorts like I'm 14, and I've just watched my first porno. I should be embarrassed, but I'm not."

"That...was...umm...Jake, I like you." I giggle.

He unbuttons my bra and throws it on the floor. I grab for my comforter. The light is still on, and I feel a little vulnerable right now. He takes the comforter out of my hands. "Baby, I'll turn the light off if you want me to. But please believe me, I think you're perfect. I care about you. I want to see you come while I taste you."

My lips part in shock. I can't. Can I? I remember the tenderness in his eyes earlier, and I nod my consent. He smiles, his eyes burning dark with desire. He kisses me from my throat to my fleshy belly. He looks up while he starts taking my panties off with his teeth. Witnessing his handiwork may be the hottest thing I've ever seen. The now familiar and consistent ache between my legs starts again. My panties removed, he kisses the bottom of my belly and the tender flesh in between my chubby thighs. He smiles at me and begins his assault between my folds. I cry out, panting with every suck and lick.

I scream his name out loud with his final assault on my clit. I’m breathing so heavy as I come back down from this natural high. He pulls me on top of his chest and I look up at him sleepily. "What about you, baby?"

"I can wait one more night. We'll let today be about your education. I hope it was good for you?"

"Did you not hear how loud I screamed your name? I've never felt such pleasure. Thank you." He smiles and kisses my forehead. I lay my head back down, and we cuddle again. We fall into a blissful sleep. I wake up in the morning to a cold bed, rubbing the spot where he should be. My alarm clock says it’s 10:03. He’s already at football practice. I smile when I look at my phone seeing that Jake texted me shortly after he left.

Thank you for being you. Let's go to the fair on a date tonight?

No! Thank you, baby. Yes! I can't wait.

Tonight may be the night. Who knows?

Chapter 20

Date Night

Everything Fearless 24/7

Live like you have a fear of heights, and you're riding on the tallest Ferris Wheel. You have to push past the fear to enjoy the view.

Also, your votes have been cast, and the result are in...Dani and Jakes new 'ship name is...#Dake

We make it to the fair a few minutes after 7. I went with a messy bun, leggings, and a cute leopard t-shirt. Sasha says leggings are not for dates, but surely that doesn't include dates to the fair. Jake bought us the unlimited armbands. We all grabbed something to eat before we got here. Each couple decided to separate from the group so that we could have some fun with our significant other. I'm excited about this. Minus nighttime, we haven't spent a ton of time alone. We're always with the group. I love my newfound friends, but I would also love some extra one on one time with my man.

"Well, Sweet Cheeks, what ride do you want to get on first?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

"Ferris Wheel?"
