“I’ve heard of this place,” she says as we pull into the packed parking lot. “Grandma and Grandpa come here every now and again. She’s always raving about the seafood.”
“Some of the girls in the ER were discussing it not that long ago, and when I was planning our night, I thought it would be the perfect place to bring you.” Again, she blushes that adorable shade of red. It makes me want to keep saying and doing things to make her blush. And maybe someday soon I’ll be able to do that other thing to really make her blush–or flush, I guess is more accurate.
Yeah, I know. I’m a dirty bastard. Sue me.
“You’ve never been here?” she asks as I come around the truck and open her door.
“Nope.”
My hands are already wrapped around her waist as she shimmies towards the door, holding her skirt down as she goes. When I know it’s secure, I pull her out of the truck and against my body. Our eyes lock as she slowly slides down, her chest pressed firmly to my own. I’m one hundred percent certain she can feel the boner in my pants before her feet even hit the ground. Her eyes widen and darken with arousal, and there’s no missing the way her tongue darts out and wets her soft pink lips.
I groan.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbles, dropping her eyes.
“For what?” I ask, yet to let go of her waist.
“For, well, you know,” she whispers looking down at my pants.
“Angel, don’t ever be sorry for that. That happens a lot when you’re around, whether you want it to or not.”
“It does?” Her eyes light up in a way that says she can’t decide if she should be embarrassed or turned on.
Bending down, I whisper in her ear. “All. The. Time.” She gasps. “Come on, let’s go grab our table before they give it to someone else because we missed our reservation.”
“Are you sure you’re able to walk in your condition?” she quips, a gorgeous smile plastered on her face. Oh, she thinks this is funny, does she?
“I’m perfectly capable of walking like this, but if you’re offering to help me out with my problem, I won’t deny you the pleasure.” The words are out of my mouth before I can even stop them.
Shit. Damn. Fuck.
Expecting to see her eyes popping out of her head and a horrified look on her face, I risk a glance in her direction. What I wasn’t expecting to see was humor. “Did you really just say that?” She fights to laugh.
“Shit, Abs, I’m sorry. Sometimes I forget I’m with you. You don’t deserve to hear me talk like an ass.”
“So if this was anyone else but me, you would have said that and not batted an eye?”
I take in her curious face. She’s my best friend, right? No lies. “Yeah, I probably would have. You know my past, Abs. I’ve been known to have one thing on my mind and that’s it. But not with you. You’re different. I don’t want you to get creeped out by my perverse mouth, okay? Just pretend I didn’t say that.”
I start to walk towards the door, but she hasn’t moved. Dread fills my gut as I realize I’ve killed the date before it even really got started. She’s going to ask me to take her home now, I’m sure of it.
“Levi?”
“Yeah.” My voice is hoarse and full of remorse.
“Can I ask you a question, and you’ll answer it honestly?”
“Always.”
“What you said, you’d say that to any other girl, right?”
I swear I’m choking. There’s an imaginary noose wrapped around my throat, slowly suffocating the life out of me. “Yeah.”
She takes a step forward, closing the distance between us. “Then I want you to say whatever you want. I want this to be the real Levi and Abby, okay? Don’t baby me or hold back because of me. Okay?”
I nod, unable to speak over the lump in my throat.
Then, she steps even closer until our bodies are touching again. “Besides, I kinda liked it when you said that dirty stuff.” Her eyes are hooded and dark, and my state of arousal shoots through the damn roof.
