Saying our goodbyes, I end the call, heading into the bathroom to freshen up. Isla should be here soon, and I still want to surprise Nox with our plans before she gets here. I’m eager to see his confused expression when he notices I've changed out of my normal clothes and am now all done up. While double-checking my appearance in the mirror, I hear a soft rap of knuckles on the bathroom door.
“Damn, Sonny, you look fucking delectable. Where you going?”
I swat at him when he gets closer, disappointed I'm going to have to ruin the surprise.
“Well…” I say as my fingers walk up his chest. “I planned a night out for us. Your mom is going to be here in a few.”
His eyes go wide in disbelief. “Really?”
Biting my lower lip, I nod. His hand goes to my hip as the other slowly rises to my mouth, his thumb releasing my bite as he cups my cheek.
“Where we going, Mama?” he asks in that husky tone of his, short-circuiting any logical train of thought as I stare up at his gorgeous face.
“It's a surprise, so I'm not telling,” I tease. I’m not willing to let go of my secret just yet.
“Baby, you know I’ll follow you anywhere. Just tell me what I need to be wearing.” With a smirk, he pulls me in for a kiss. God, I love the feel of his lips on mine. The way his body possessively envelops me as he devours my mouth is something I don’t think I could ever live without again.
Finally breaking apart for air, I swiftly step out of his hold. “Somewhere nice, so dress up,” I say as I leave the bathroom in search of a pair of shoes.
Normally, I'm not one for high heels, but tonight, my tight black skirt paired with an off-the-shoulder bodysuit is begging for a sexy heel.
Nox is washed up and changed by the time I'm ready to leave the bedroom. Damn men and their ability to look hot as fuck with barely any effort.
We walk into the living room where I'm expecting to find Kiran in his playpen but find Isla dancing around with him instead.
I eye Nox suspiciously.
“She got here earlier than expected… That’s when I came in to see what you were up to,” he says, trying to contain his grin.
“So, my surprise was ruined before you even asked about it.”
His lips wrap around his teeth to stop himself from laughing. But the gleam of mischief in his eyes has me joining him.
I’ll get him back later.

“Still can't getover the size of that steak. It was delicious,” Nox says, still reminiscing of the cowboy ribeye he devoured at dinner.
I surprised him with dinner reservations at Tellers. It’s a steakhouse about an hour away that has always been on his radar, but when we were younger, it was way out of our price range. It’s one of those boujee-type places you go only for anniversaries and special occasions, or if you’re a millionaire.
My man enjoys a good steak dinner, and I knew this was something he’d thoroughly enjoy. They’re known for their massive, dry-aged cowboy ribeye. The thing basically looks like something off Fred Flintstone’s dinner table.
With my winnings from the fight in Charlotte, I had enough of a cushion of cash saved and wanted to do something special. The look of surprise on his face when we pulled up was priceless, and worth every penny.
“I'm glad you loved it.” I smile and squeeze his hand as our eyes turn to the screen in front of us.
The other part of my surprise date was a drive-in movie. There’s one not too far from where we had dinner, so I thought it was the perfect way to end our night. To top it off, they were showing the newGuardians of the Galaxymovie.
I'm too distracted by the sight of him to pay much attention to the movie. The glint in his eye as he watches the action on the screen. The way his lips quirk into a smile. The way his tattoo-covered Adam’s apple bobs when he laughs. Everything about him turns me on, and he’s all mine. Well,ours, and that fact turns me on even more.
“Don’t think I can't feel you staring at me, Sonny.” He side-eyes me with a smirk.
“Wasn’t trying to hide it, Champ. And let’s be honest, you parked in the back for a reason,” I quip as a devious plan takes form in my head.
He chuckles, then focuses on the screen again and the sound streams through the car speakers.
Slipping off my heels, I climb my way over to his seat and lift up my skirt so I can straddle his lap. His hands instinctively bracket my hips. Without a word, I lick my way up his neck to his ear, where I pause to whisper, “You’re so fucking sexy.”
