She’s wearing a pale pink dress that hits her midthigh. The thin material clings to her curves and has my mouthwatering. She’s curled and pinned part of her ashy brown hair up and it’s left her neck bare. All I can think about is trailing kisses up that smooth column of skin. Would she let me suck on the sensitive skin there? Would she like it if I marked her?
My cock strains against the zipper of my pants and I clear my throat, trying to tame my lust filled thoughts.
“You look beautiful,” I tell her, and she smiles.
“Thanks. You don’t look so bad yourself,” she says.
Her eyes take in my white button down shirt and dark jeans. I don’t have a ton of fancy clothes. There isn’t much need for them here in Sequoia, but I’m hoping that it’s nice enough for The Capital Grille.
“Thanks. Are you all set to go?” I ask, and she nods, stepping out into the hall and closing the door behind her.
We head downstairs and over to my car. I open the passenger door for her, and she smiles, her dark green eyes shining up at me. Something about that look puts me at ease and I take a deep breath, relaxing as I slip behind the wheel.
“Are you hungry?” I ask.
“Starving.”
“Good.”
I smile as I back out of the parking spot and head toward downtown Sequoia. All of the businesses in town are located on the same three block stretch. The Capital Grille is on the other side of town. It’s set a little ways away from the nearest building and surrounded by a forest. It gives the place a more intimate feeling, perfect for a date with the woman of my dreams.
I park, and Locklyn shifts in her seat to unbuckle. She pauses when she sees the half dead bouquet in the backseat, and I wince.
“Yeah, those were for you. I didn’t think that they would wilt so much in this weather,” I tell her, and she bites back a smile.
“I guess you’ll just have to get me more for our next date.”
I grin, trying not to whoop in victory that she’s already looking forward to another date. I’m not sure what changed her mind about me, but I sure as hell am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I climb out of the car and hurry around the hood to open her door for her.
“Have you been here before?” she asks as we head up to the front door.
“No, but it’s supposed to be good.”
We walk in and are seated right away at a little booth in the back. Locklyn is busy looking around the place and I take the opportunity to study her.
She’s so damn pretty. Her features look even more delicate in the glow of the flickering candle in the middle of the table. It keeps casting light and shadows across her eyes, making the green appear darker and then lighter.
“What looks good?” Locklyn asks, opening her menu. I have to bite my tongue before I can replyyou.
“Uh, I’m not sure yet,” I say, opening my own menu.
“I’m thinking steak or maybe a burger. I haven’t had a good one of either in forever,” she says, and I nod.
“Sounds good.”
Our waiter comes over to our table and we both order water. He sets down a basket of bread and some butter and Locklyn grabs a roll as he walks away.
“Are Thorne and Kade still racing tonight?” she asks as she butters it.
“Yeah, they’re probably just leaving our place now.”
“Do you regret coming here instead?”
“Hell no,” I say admittedly. “I’d choose dinner with you over racing any day of the week.”
“Even if we were eating something really disgusting?” Her eyes twinkle with mischief, and goddamn if I don’t want to kiss that look off her face.
“Like the meatloaf at the cafeteria at school?”
