“Come on, princess. Let’s go eat.”
I take her into the stupidly fancy restaurant where the maitre d’ shows us to our table. It’s a cosy little booth in the back, away from prying eyes. Raven relaxes a little when she sees the privacy, but after her little hallway tease I don’t intend to let her off that easily.
We take our seats and order drinks without even looking at the menu. Two Cokes. It’s probably a bit sad, but I’m driving and I want her to have a clear head tonight. The last thing I need is to give her a headache when she’s going to be unexpectedly woken up by Nix in the morning.
“Do you want wine or anything?” I check.
“No, Coke’s good.” She grins at me and checks out the menu. I barely spare it a glance, I’ll just order whatever she does. “It all sounds good. I’ve never been here before. What are you having?”
“Whatever you pick,” I say with a shrug. She gives me a funny look and I sigh. “Fine. The chicken.”
“Oh, I didn’t see that,” she says, looking back at the menu. Like I know if there’s chicken on the menu. I mean, it’s not exactly a stab in the dark is it, most places offer chicken. Well, unless you’re at a vegan restaurant. Which I think wouldn’t be caught dead at.
“What’s wrong?” Raven says, looking up at me. “You have such a scowl on your face.”
“Vegans.”
“What?” She laughs.
“I was just thinking, how much it pisses me off that most restaurants have to provide vegetarian and even vegan options on the menu now, but they don’t offer us the same courtesy.”
“You want to be able to get a bacon sarnie at a vegan restaurant?” She raises a brow at me.
“Or a steak. Why do steakhouses have to offer a veggie dish? I mean, it’s a steakhouse for god’s sake! Surely the clue of what to expect is in the name?”
“Reb, this is just a normal restaurant. Order what you want. And don’t worry, I won’t ever take you to a vegan place.”
The waiter returns with our drinks while Raven is still laughing at me, and we place our orders. She opts for the steak and I copy her. She shakes her head at me.
“I told you princess, I don’t give a damn about this meal. I’m biding my time until I can eat you.”
“Shhh!” she hisses, glancing worriedly at the waiter’s departing back.
“He’d watch. He couldn’t take his eyes off you,” I say.
“Shut up!” Her cheeks flush.
“God, you look so sexy when you blush. I love the way that heat spreads down onto your chest and your nipples—”
“I-I’m s-sorry t-to in-interrupt, I have your bread basket,” the embarrassed waiter stammers. Raven glares at me, mortified, but I smirk at her and wink at him. He drops the basket like it’s on fire and runs back to the kitchen to hide. I laugh, and Raven kicks me under the table.
“Careful, princess,” I warn. “What you do to me will come back to haunt you later.”
She takes a gulp of her drink, and I decide it’s time to take things up a notch. I slide around the booth so that our legs are touching, and I place my hand on her silky leg.
“Rebel,” she warns, warily eyeing the other, oblivious, restaurant goers.
“Shush, I’m just checking something,” I whisper, raising my hand a little higher to meet her bare flesh.
“What? What could you possibly be checking?”
“The state of your panties right now.”
“If I’m wearing any,” she quips. Well, if she thinks that’s going to stop me then she doesn’t know me at all. I shake my head and push my hand a little higher, meeting a silky barrier.
“Tease.” I pout. She laughs.
“I could always take them off.”
