Okay…wow!“This is the best gift I’ve ever received. It’s so personal and thoughtful. I love it!”
“I’m glad. Let me put it on you.”
I hand him the bracelet and lean over to give him a big, appreciative kiss. “I love you.”
Smiling, he opens the clasp and places it on my outstretched wrist.
“It’s beautiful.” I lean back admiring the little charms. “I think I’m just going to stare at it all night.”
“Sorry to spoil your plans, but there’s something else that I really want to do.”
“Well…” I wiggle my brows. “We can fitthatin too.”
“I always wantthatwith you.” He traces the arch of my foot. “But first, I want to take you to a movie.”
“Like going out?”
“I’ve never taken you on a movie date. I’d like to.”
I’m not sure how we’ll manage that, but a date with Mick is too tempting to refuse. “What do you want to see?”
“You pick.”
My brows lift. “That’s a risky move.”
“Proof of my love.”
“No kidding.” I laugh. We have vastly different tastes in movies. He’s a shoot ’em up, action packed guy all the way. While my taste runs toward old movies, documentaries, and artistic indie films. Checking listings on my iPad, I decide not to make him suffer through a coming-of-age piece set in the scenic countryside of Ireland and choose a rom-com I figure he can tolerate. The added benefit is I’m ensured a few laughs and a happy ending.
Mick orders the tickets online and drops me off at the front of the theater, instructing me to find a seat in the back row. I shrug out of my jacket that I’d layered over a long, loose sweater and leggings.
The movie stars Amy Schumer, who I think is hysterical. I also admire the way she totally owns her body despite the pressure in Hollywood to be thin. It’s been out a while now, so the theater is fairly empty. Only a dearth of patrons is scattered throughout, none of them in the back row.
When the lights dim, I see Mick walking up the aisle with a large popcorn container and a drink. His cap is pulled down low and he’s still wearing his shades. Even without recognition, just the man himself would cause a stir.
“Hi, beauty.”
“Hi.”
After settling in beside me, he takes off hisdisguise, and puts the drink in the holder between us, and the popcorn on his lap. We share the same straw and our fingers brush as we reach inside the carton. He’s sittingclose, our shoulders and outer legs touching. I’m fully dressed yet I can feel his touch on my skin.
The contact in the dark cinema is innocent, but the sensations going on inside me are like an exposed live wire. Mick slips one arm around my shoulder, his eyes sliding over to mine. The heavy-lidded desire in them lets me know that he can feel what I’m feeling, and is feeling it too.
He moves the popcorn aside and his mouth lowers, softly caressing my lips. His buttery tongue is a delicious invasion. I’m distantly aware of the audience chuckling as my hands pull on the wavy strands of hair to intensify the kiss, my tongue stroking with his lush slides, my whispered moans mingling with his heavy breaths.
Now I know why my movie choice didn’t matter to him. It doesn’t matter to me either. We make out, working each other into a frenzy, only taking it as far as a public venue will allow. The forced restraint makes the foreplay all the more intense.
I’m gasping and wet when he murmurs against my mouth, “I gotta go, baby.”
“Go?”
“The movie’s over.”
“Already?”
He smiles and tweaks my nipple before he slides his hand from under my bra. “We’ll finish this at home. Meet me out front in ten.”
“Okay.” I touch his cheek, finding it both sexy and sweet that Mick had chosen to give me an experience I had missed with him in our teens. “Thanks for the awesome date.”
