Page 127 of Before I Loved You

Natalie interlocks her elbow with mine. “I know just the place we can go!”

“Please tell me they serve fries.”

She nods. “Fries, burgers, milkshakes. All the fast food your heart desires.” She laughs. “It’s a diner near campus called Turn Back the Clock. Jason took me there a few weeks ago, and I’ve been dying to go back for another milkshake.”

I smile. “Sounds like my type of food.”

Pulling out my phone, I text Paul to let him know.

Sarah

I’m going to be home late. Going out with Natalie for some food.

Paul

I’ll be waiting in bed for you…

Sarah

Good. Because I think I may need a full-body massage.

Paul

Hmm. Pretty sure there’s some special oil in the bathroom we can use for this problem…

Sarah

Have you been snooping in my bathroom?

Paul

Seeing that it is currently our bathroom, I wouldn’t call it snooping. Just researching.

Sarah

Researching what?

Paul

Like, what toys and goodies you like to use.

Sarah

You probably shouldn’t look in my nightstand then…

*Thirty seconds later*

Paul

Holy shit. You’ve had this the whole time???

Fuck, Sarah.

Your body is mine the second you walk through the front door tonight. Hope you’re ready for me.

My cheeks heat up just thinking about him in bed…waiting for me with my special toy in his hand…

God, this man.
