I was out the door in half that time, slightly breathless from the effort.

He handed me a to-go cup of coffee and leaned down for a kiss. “Somehow I knew the marathon dating day might persuade you to get out of bed.”

We climbed into the back of the waiting sedan and headed out onto the freeway. “If two through four are today, when is date number five?”

He took my hand, kissing it, and chuckled. “Why do I feel like I may have opened up Pandora’s box?”

“You try waiting twenty-two years for sex and see if you’re not anxious to experience every position.”

His desire became obvious with the way his eyes turned a darker shade of green. “We’re doing these five dates even if it kills me. I thought we’d do the last one tomorrow night?”

“Sounds perfect, but we have plans in the morning first.”

His confusion was obvious until I reminded him.

“I won the bet with Jordan calling me, so you’re coming with me.”

He grinned. “Ah, the hospital thing; got it. Now, you’d better get some more sleep as you’ll need it with the day I have planned.”

His voice had taken on a husky quality which made all my girly parts stand at attention. I couldn’t wait.

Fourteen hourslater I learned that Colby Singer didn’t mess around when it came to planning the ultimate three-date day. We started by driving two hours to Escondido, where we arrived at the San Diego Safari Zoo. Once there, we fed a baby elephant, a giraffe, and a hippo and spent the entire morning surrounded by beautiful animals.

For our second date, we drove a short distance to a winery, where we dined amid beautiful views of the grounds, sipping on wine aplenty.

Then, in epic fashion, he took me to Disneyland. It was hard to believe, but in four years of living in Southern California, I’d never been. I’d only mentioned it to him once, years ago, and now here we were: donning Mickey ears, eating junk food, and riding roller coasters well into the evening hours.

After the very best day I could ever remember having, we pulled up to his house. I’d dozed in the car, feeling like a kid who’d exhausted herself completely from the festivities. Aside from some stolen kisses throughout the day, we hadn’t done much more. So the thought of concluding date number four suddenly had me wide awake and thinking of the night to come.

He must’ve felt the same as his fingers stroked up my wrist slowly. Once the driver dropped us off in front of the house, Colby unlocked the door, practically growling once we were inside.

Taking my hand, he led me straight into the bedroom. Before I could say anything, his lips were on mine and he was attacking my clothes. The man was more adept at taking off my bra than I was. Although I was anxious to get naked, I was also aware of the fact that I’d been outside in the sun sweating the entire day. “I like where this is going, but I need a shower.”

He pulled back, frowning at the disruption, and then his face lit up with an idea. “We both do. Come on.”

Nothing in all my years of fantasizing could’ve prepared me for seeing Colby, minutes later, completely undressed and nonchalantly joining me in the shower. My eyes took their time indulging in a slow perusal of his splendidly naked form: starting with his hard chest and then down to his washboard abs. I had to force myself to look beyond his hard cock, jutting out proudly from his body, to his strong legs.

“Do I pass inspection?”

My cheeks flamed; then I gave him a sheepish smile. “For the first naked guy I’ve ever showered with, you’ll do.”

He chuckled and then sucked in his breath when I reached out to touch his chest.

My fingers trailed over his pecs, drawing circles around his nipples, and then slid down his taut stomach while I watched his eyes on me. When I gripped his erection in both hands, he groaned but then stepped back.

“Date two is what?”

“You’re asking me what the second date entails while standing here naked in front of me?”

He nodded, amusement shining in his eyes. “Clearly we do things a little differently. So what do you want to do?”

“Make out with me.”

He grinned. “Your wish is my command.”

Weaving his hands in my hair, his mouth crashed down. I could feel his erection pressing against my stomach as he backed me into the corner of the shower. The rhythm of his tongue entwining with mine became an erotic promise of what was to come.
