Chapter 1 #3
“Yes. I never realized how beautiful you were until this very moment. That dress is wonderful.” Her face heated up, and she smiled at him. “I’m sorry, but you look so different than when you’re wearing a uniform. It’s not all that flattering, is it?”
“Not really. And that’s a good thing, I think. No one hits on me because they think I have these large hips.” They both laughed, and she kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you for the compliment. I feel so much better wearing this dress than something from the back of my closet.”
“I’m sure from now on all I’m going to see is you in this dress. If you had worn anything else, I think I might have expired from your beauty.” Smacking him gently on the arm, her mom said she’d lock up the house for her. “Thank you, Mrs. Donaldson. I appreciate your help.”
When she got to the car and was helped in, she asked him what her mother had helped him with. He laughed and said he’d not got any ideas on what sort of food she liked from last night and wanted to impress her. Her mom had told him that she loved seafood and comfort food.
“I do love seafood. But I don’t think there is anyplace around here to get that.” He said he was taking her to Columbus to have dinner. “So far? Well, I’m not going to complain. I do love it and am happy that you asked.”
They talked about different things on the way into town.
There were all sorts of topics that the two of them could talk about, and she was still talking to him when they pulled up in front of the restaurant.
She’d heard about this place but never expected to go there.
Getting out of the car, Wylie pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Rosie held onto his shoulders as he made love to her mouth.
“What was that for?” He explained that he’d been wanting to kiss her since last night, but she’d been out with his brother. “Your brother didn’t kiss me last night because he said that he could tell that I liked you better. Did you compare notes about dating me?”
“Nope. He didn’t tell me that he didn’t kiss you, only that he took you to the door and left.
I thought that he’d take full advantage of you getting a kiss from a beautiful woman.
” She didn’t say anything as he pulled her along to the front entrance.
“I hope this is as good as they said it would be. When I asked for places to take you from Meggie and David, they said the same places. I’m glad you love seafood. It’s one of my favorites as well.”
Dinner was fun. They ate their fill with crab legs and baked potatoes. He had dessert while she had a cup of hot tea. It was the end to a perfect meal, she thought, and couldn’t wait to see what else he had planned for them. It was still early enough that she didn’t want to go home just yet.
They walked around the city block, and by the time they were back to the car, her feet were killing her.
After getting in the car, she took her shoes off and apologized to him for doing so.
He took her feet into his hands and massaged them before he even started the car.
It felt glorious to have her feet done this way, and she moaned a few times when he got to the right places.
Then her foot accidentally brushed against his cock.
Wylie didn’t say anything, but he did stiffen a bit. After putting her feet back down on the floorboard, she couldn’t even look at him. It wasn’t until he said her name that she turned and looked at him with the light shining on his face from a streetlamp.
“I’m sorry.” She asked him why he was sorry. “I tried not to get this way, hard you know, but with you making those little noises, all I could think about was what you’d say if I pulled you across my lap and made love to you for a bit.”
“You mean necking a little?” He laughed and said that was a little tamer than he had in mind, but that was it. “We could go back to my place and neck if you want.”
“What about your family? Would your mom have something to say about us making out in the car?” She said that she didn’t live at home with her. “That sounds good.”
“I would love that even better. But now that I think about it, we will be seen. I have a lot of nosy neighbors, and they’ll actually come out of their homes to see what is taking me so long to get out of the car with you.
” He looked out the window and then back at her.
“There’s no hope for it. We have to find a dark space around here and make out.
That’s the only way that we can solve both our dilemmas. ”
“Our luck, we’d be arrested for indecent exposure.
With you being a cop, it would be around town here and at home in no time.
I guess we just go back to my place, have some fun, then I take you home.
That’s the only way that we can do this without anyone knowing.
” She asked him if he cared if anyone knew.
“Not at all. But like I said, you being a cop, it wouldn’t look good when elections came around again. ”
“There will be talk no matter what we do. I think you should just take me home and kiss me at the door like a good date would. They’ll know it’s our first date, too.
You know how small towns are?” He said that he did, very much so.
“All right. I could have been fun for you, too. I want you to know that.”
“We could have blown the doors right off this sucker in no time.” They talked about having sex all the way home.
It helped her, too, to know that he wanted her as much as she did him.
“The next time we go out, we’ll skip the meal and go straight for a hotel room.
Out of town, of course. That way, none would be the wiser to our fun, and we can hold our heads up around there. What do you think?”
“I think we’ve given this way too much thought for our first date.” Then she asked him if he wanted to see her again. He just stared at her. “I don’t know your facial expressions right now. Perhaps you can tell me what you mean by that.”
“I’m hard as stone and ready to lay you out on my seat to have you. I think that’s answer enough, don’t you?” She laughed, and he did too. It was fun being this free with their conversation. “I feel like I’ve been waiting for you all my life, love. Where have you been hiding?”
“I’ve been waiting for you to notice me at some point.
I’ve loved you all my life, Wylie Pennington, and am so glad that we’ve been able to get together.
” He kissed her again and started the car.
She forgot that they had to drive home now and wasn’t looking forward to it.
But he made her laugh, and that’s all she wanted right now.
“I do want you to come into my house. Damn the neighborhood. I’m a grown-assed woman who knows what she wants out of life.
And you’re it. It might not last forever, but I’ll take what I can get from you. What do you say?”
“I love the way your mind works.” They talked about their childhood on the way home.
Wylie remembered a great deal about her as a child, and she’d been embarrassed about some of it, like the time he’d caught her watching him play basketball with his brothers.
He and Raphael had gotten into a fight, and she’d defended him.
“I never lived that down all summer. I always thought of you as a pest. You were sort of the way you hung around us all the time. I’m just glad that we were able to temper our language when you were around.
There is no telling what your mom would have said about us with you hanging around us all the time. ”
“I think she knew that I had this crush on you from about third grade. You were so tall then, and I remember thinking that if I were to ever get to kiss you, I’d need a ladder.
” They both laughed and were almost home.
“My mom would be all right with you staying the night with me. She’d wonder why it took you so long. ”
It was still early when he got her home. Every one of her neighbors was out on their front porches enjoying the evening air. So Wylie took her up to her door, kissed her goodnight, and left her there. So much for being a grown-assed woman, she thought as she went indoors all alone.
