“This isn’t the way.”
“I know.”
“I thought you were taking me home.”
“There’s something I need to know first.” The question has burned in my brain. Had she really been studying for tonight?
“And you have to take me somewhere to find out?”
“Were you seriously going to ask a strangerdateyou?”
“Yes.”
“And by date, do you mean fuck?” Every protective hackle in my body is raised. The irony isn’t lost on me that I’m livid over her being willing to fuck a stranger, after all I’ve done.
She lowers her head. Shit. I reach over and put my hand on her shoulder.
“I didn’t mean for that to come out so harsh. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“You can let the protective big brother thing go.”
“It’s not that. I care about you.” And I don’t say more. I don’t want to scare her off.
Pulling into the parking lot of an overlook with a beautiful view of the glistening lights of the city below, I hop out of the car, circle around to her side, open her door, then extend a hand. She sets her delicate fingers in mine and allows me to guide her out. I walk her to the edge, my arms wrapped around her from behind.
“Are we having a fake date?”
“We need to clear up what you consider dating, in light of what you were prepared for. I’m not usually the kind of guy who does long courtships and tender gestures.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m already holding you, showing you the beautiful city.” I caress my hand up and down the fabric covering her arm. “Some couples wouldn’t go past a long, lingering gaze on a first date. Maybe their fingers brush. Since you’re saying you just want one date with each of us, it’s going to be hard to take it slow.”
I cup my fingers over hers. Then I allow my fingertips to spread her fingers as I lace our hands together. “Others would have a little more contact, but nothing too personal.”
Then I spin her around. She’s tangled in my arms, unable to get free, her body pressed into mine the way I want to start the evening, not end it. “Other dates are more aggressive, more demanding. Do you know which kind you want?”
I roll my hips into her.
“I…” She licks her lips, the moonlight glinting off her cheeks. “I think I want the aggressive one.”
“I was afraid you were going to say that.” Everything about this is wrong. She’s so young. She doesn’t deserve to be kept in the shadows. Pretending she doesn’t mean anything will just build up more tension. I can’t deal with more anger management classes.
“Afraid?”
I loosen my fingers from hers, drop a hand onto her ass and pick her up, loving the feel of her legs spreading around my waist. This isn’t helping any. Which head am I using to decide that she’s worth getting cut from the team?
Too many questions invade my brain.
“You don’t want to do this?” She looks completely confused.
“I want to.”
“I don’t understand. The Tri-anything brothers needed to do a good deed, which was the huge donation. Why can’t you do this one little good deed for me?”
That damn pout has my thoughts on lockdown. She’s the only thing in my head.
“Fuck it. I’m taking you back to our place. We’re going to figure this out tonight.”
