“We’re going to get dinner and then go to the drive-in movie theater. We’ll park in the back because I know you won’t be able to keep your hands to yourself,” he says, and I let out a surprised laugh.
Hunter has always been intense with me. It’s like now that he’s got me, he can relax. I never realized how funny he was, but I think I’m about to.
“We’ll see about that,” I tell him, and he grins.
“Please, Grier. I’m more than just a handsome piece of meat,” he jokes, and I laugh.
“I can keep my hands to myself just fine! It’s you that’s always picking me up or touching me,” I say, lifting our intertwined hands.
“Can you blame me? Look at you,” he says, letting out a whistle, and I feel my cheeks heat with a blush. “I have to stake my claim so that none of these other men think you’re single and try to take you from me.”
“That’s not going to happen,” I mumble, and he pulls to a stop at the red light.
“Why is that? Because you realized that you love me?”
“No, because no one else thinks I’m beautiful,” I blurt out, and his eyes harden.
“Are you blind?” He asks me, and I stare at him in confusion.
“What?”
“Are you blind? That’s the only explanation I have for why you would think that. I’ve been warning men away from you every day since I met you. There’s always someone sniffing around you,” he grumbles as the light turns green, and he starts to drive.
“What?” I repeat, and he continues to talk more to himself than to me.
“It’s those damn curves. They were made for a man’s hands.Myhands. And those eyes. I’ve never seen eyes so fucking blue before.”
My body warms at his words, and I turn to the window, letting my lips curve into a smile when I think he’s not looking.
If nothing else, I think that Hunter is going to be great for my self-esteem.
He parks outside Two Men and a Griddle, and I turn to him.
“We’re having diner food for our second date?” I ask him, and he nods.
“Of course. I know how much you love their milkshakes and burgers. We can go somewhere else if you want, but when you’ve had a long day, I know that you like this place best.”
“How do you know that?” I ask him as he comes around to my side and lifts me out.
“Because I watch you, Grier.”
“More like stalk me.”
“Call it whatever you want,” he says, not even trying to deny it.
He sets me down on my feet on the mat outside the door, and I let him hold the door open for me as we walk inside. He leads me to a booth in the back, and I slide in, letting out a squeak when I realize he’s joining me on this side.
“There’s plenty of room over there,” I tell him, pointing to the other side, and he just kisses the top of my head.
“This way, you can feel me up if you get bored waiting for the food, darling.”
“Not gonna happen,” I say, grabbing a menu even though I already know what I’ll be getting.
Hunter takes the menu from me and sets it back behind the napkin dispenser.
“Hey!”
“We both know you’re getting the cookies and cream milkshake with extra whip cream and the bacon cheeseburger, burn the bacon.”
