She giggles, nodding and I grin.
“Yeah, even then.”
The waiter comes back and takes our order, returning in about fifteen minutes with our meals. I watch Locklyn take a huge bite of her burger, a bit of sauce dripping down her chin. I smile at her, loving that she’s not shy about eating in front of me.
When her tongue darts out to lick up the sauce, I bite back a groan. Christ, she’s somehow a tempting siren and an adorable curvy pixie at the same time. I love both sides of her.
We talk about classes and plans for the future, and I throw in a few hints at her sticking around Sequoia after graduation to test the waters. Each time, Locklyn smiles and nods her head like she’s really considering it. I hope so.
“That was delicious,” Locklyn announces when she’s finished her meal. “I’ve been eating the cafeteria food and macaroni and cheese for too long. I didn’t realize what I was missing.”
I discreetly pay the bill and walk Locklyn outside with a hand at the small of her back.
“You’ll have to let me take you out again,” I whisper into the shell of her ear. “We could try Bella Italia next time,” I suggest, and she smiles shyly over at me.
“I’d love to.”
“How about tomorrow night?”
“You’re going to miss another race?” she asks, and I shrug. “I wish I could, but I need to work on that project for our marketing class.”
“Come over to my place. We can work on it together,” I suggest.
She studies me for a moment as we climb into the car. I’m about to shut her door when she nods.
“Alright.”
I grin, leaning down to give her a kiss on the nose. She smiles, her eyelashes fluttering against her slightly flushed cheeks. I shut her door and fist pump the air as I walk around to the other side of the car.
“I saw that,” she tells me as I climb in, and I just smirk.
“I bet that you were doing the same thing in here.”
“Maybe,” she says, smirking back at me.
“Want to take a stroll through downtown?” I ask.
I’m not nearly ready for this date to be over; she must feel the same way because she agrees. I pull out of the restaurant parking lot and drive half a block down to where there’s some public parking.
We climb out, and this time, I take her hand in mine as we start to walk down the street. A lot of the shops are closed up for the night. The only thing still open are the bars and clubs.
“Do you want to go to the racetrack instead?” Locklyn asks as we reach the end of the block.
I shake my head. “I want to keep you all to myself tonight. I like feeling like we’re the only two people in the world.”
Locklyn stops, turning to face me. I cup the side of her face, brushing my thumb across her cheek.
“That was really sweet,” she whispers before nibbling her bottom lip.
“I can be sweet,” I murmur, leaning down to rub my nose against hers.
Locklyn nods, our lips inches apart. “And I can be naughty,” she breathes out right before her lips meet mine.
I’m instantly addicted to her taste as she opens up for me, letting me slide my tongue inside her mouth. We’ve shared chaste kisses before, but nothing about this is chaste.
The kiss turns heated, possessive even, as Locklyn fists my shirt and pulls me closer. I groan, sliding my hands around to her back and cupping her ass. She moans, wrapping her arms around my neck as I squeeze her soft flesh.
We finally break apart, both needing some air, but I don’t let her get very far. Locklyn tips her head back as I trail kisses down her neck, nipping and licking her most sensitive spots along the way.
