With a mind of its own, my hand reached out to wipe away the lingering drop of water on the top swell of her breast. She shivered.
I felt downright needy for more contact. Hugs, hand holding—I didn’t give a fuck. I just wanted to touch her, and I wanted to do it all day.
“Spend the day with me,” I blurted.
“Kline—”
“No,” I interrupted. “Don’t say no.”
She smiled, a tiny laugh coating my skin as she tilted her head to the side just slightly. “I wasn’t going to.”
“Good,” I breathed in relief.
“But I do need to go home first. I need clothes. Preferably ones that fit and don’t smell like you.” She held up a hand before I got defensive, admitting softly, “It’s distracting.”
“Fine,” I agreed easily, countering, “But I’m going with you. Last time I let you arrive separately, you were forty-five minutes late.”
Her face pinched in annoyance.
I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers, smoothing it away just as fast. Without moving back, I spoke my parting words right against her lips. “Any other time I’d be patient, baby, but today, when it comes to spending time with you, I find I’m a little less willing to wait.”
“Cokes from a vending machine? Hot dogs from a vendor? What’s next, Mr. Spontaneity?” I nudged him with my shoulder.
He shrugged, taking the last bite of his mustard and relish-covered dog. “I didn’t really have a plan. I just wanted to make sure you spent the day with me.”
Night was settling over the city, streetlights glittering the pavement with their soft glow. We had spent the day riding the subway and making stops at random. Kline would ask me a question and my answer was what decided our next stop.
Favorite place to relax? A stroll through Central Park.
Favorite childhood memory? Feeding ducks at the Brooklyn zoo.
Dinner was outside of MoMA, after we had spent most of the evening browsing Picasso’s sculptures and Jackson Pollock’s beautiful landscapes. He had kissed me slow and deep, fogging my brain with memories of this morning. Kline waited until he had me good and turned on, then pulled away, nonchalantly asking what sounded good for dinner.
The horny side of me quickly responded, “Well, I really enjoyed breakfast this morning.”
“You want bacon and eggs again?”
“No,” I answered, standing on my tiptoes and kissing a sensual path along his jaw. Using my teeth to tug at his earlobe, I whispered, “That wasn’t my favorite part of breakfast.”
And that’s how we ended up at a street vendor outside of MoMA, ordering hot dogs. The cheeky bastard had made sure to order us footlongs, adding, “Just trying to get the size right.”
He found a bench, pulling me down into his lap. “Let’s eat, Benny girl,” he said, kissing my forehead and setting dinner in my hands.
I ate my footlong, enjoying every second of being in his company. Pedestrians meandered past us. Taxis sped by in their usual hurry. But the world didn’t exist in that moment. I was too busy savoring every soft kiss to my cheek and handsome smile flashed in my direction.
“This might have been better than breakfast.” I took my last bite, moaning.
He tickled my ribs with his free hand. “I never pegged you as a liar, Ms. Cummings.”
“Who said I was lying?” I winked.
“You got a little something, right here.” He wiped a drop of ketchup from the corner of my mouth, sucking it off his finger and waggling his brows. “Always so fucking good.”
I laughed, shoving his shoulder playfully. “All right, dirty boy, what’s next on the agenda?”
Helping me to my feet, he grinned. “I’ve got an idea, but I need to know if you’re ready to be a little wild.”
“How wild?” I questioned, a sassy hand on my hip.
He tossed our empty bottles and napkins in the trash.
“Crazy, insane kind of wild.” His eyes turned serious. He grabbed my hips, guiding me toward a vacant alley and gently pushing my back against a brick wall. “Can you handle getting a little crazy with me?”
I nodded, smiling up at him.
He pressed a kiss to mouth. “Are you sure, Benny girl? Because I can’t have you chickening out last minute.”
“Are you calling me out?”
“Are you too scared to take the challenge?”
I bit his bottom lip, my teeth tugging playfully. “I’ll take any challenge you throw my way.”
“Is that so?”
“You bet your tight ass it is.”
“I’ve got fifteen dollars and a striptease that says you’ll chicken out.”
