My Phoenix: That I can’t tell you.
Me: Then surprise me.
And surprise me she does.
When I ring her doorbell to pick her up for our date, Phoenix answers the door in a tight, long-sleeve black minidress with black thigh-high boots. Her chestnut hair falls over her shoulders like a silky dark curtain.
The air leaves my lungs.
She makes a slow turn so I can see the way the slinky material hugs her plump ass.
“God, you look… amazing.”
“Leo bet me twenty bucks that you’d make me go upstairs and change.”
I shake my head and snake an arm around her waist. “I want everyone to witness your incredible sexiness.”
“Really?” She lifts onto her toes to meet my lips with hers.
“Really.” I suck her bottom lip into my mouth and release it with a pop. “And then I want them to see you with me and know that they can’t have you.”
Her modest smile warms my heart.
“I love the dress.” I smooth my hand up her arm. “Guess you went with black.”
She smirks and shakes her head as she walks past me and onto the porch. “No. I didn’t.”
My dick stirs in anticipation.
“This place is beautiful.”
“My mom loved it here.” I glance around at the flickering light from the candles dancing on each table. “I haven’t been here since she passed.”
I took Phoenix to my favorite Spanish restaurant, and we sat on the same side of a dark-red booth near the back. It’s the perfect private, intimate corner.
When the waiter arrives to take our order for appetizers, Phoenix squeezes my hand. “Order whatever you want for us.”
It means a lot to me that she trusts me to know what she’ll like. Whether I’m teaching her how to cook, or leaving meals on her porch, feeding her has become something I deeply enjoy. I love knowing I can take care of her. And I love that she lets me.
I do as she requested, and when the waiter leaves our table, I tip her chin. “I know I should wait until the end of the date to kiss you, but I’m not sure I can resist.”
“Please don’t make me wait.” She closes the distance between us and presses her soft lips to mine.
Phoenix sparks something inside of me, and I can’t quite articulate what it is. It’s not just a physical attraction—andfuckam I attracted to her. Every cell in my body reacts to the feel of her mouth moving against mine. But it’s more than that. More than anything I’ve ever felt.
When I kiss Phoenix, it’s like I can feel my soul catch fire.
This burning desire to care for her, to give her everything inside of me.
“I have a bone to pick with you.” She pulls back to look into my eyes. “I finished your book.”
I lean my elbows onto the table. “And what do you think?”
“Surely, someday she would find him.” She blinks. “Are you kidding me?That’show it ends? After all that, you don’t even know if they’re going to be together?”
I chuckle. “But he didn’t have to hide anymore. He got everything he wanted.”
“Except her. What if she took all his money and ran? What if she wasn’t the person he thought she was?”
