He leaves the cash and the bill on the table before standing up, and offering me his hand. I take it and he pulls me from my seat, leading me to the front of the restaurant.

“I had a good time, Luci, not quite sure I’m ready to go home though, it’s still early,” I tell him, praying he gets the hint that I don’t want our time together to end yet. I want more of him any way I can get it.

“We can walk to my place and you could meet my uncle. Maybe watch a movie or something?”

“I’d like that,” I rasp and he guides me down the street toward, I’m assuming, his uncle’s house.

* * *

Tonight has been nothing short of amazing. We walked hand in hand to his uncle's house and watched the new Jurassic World movie. His uncle watched it with us on the back porch with one of those blowup screens and projectors. We held hands the entire movie, our thighs touching, giving me the ultimate lady boner.

His uncle is a real trip, nothing like Luci at all. He’s very talkative, friendly, and in your business. The total opposite of Luci, who, the night I met him, was quiet, mysterious, and well kind of a dick in a standoffish, ignoring-me type of way.

The movie has just ended, and the final credits are rolling. John stands up and shuts the projector off. “Marley, it was so nice to meet you. I hope to see more of you this summer.”

“Thank you and I hope so too. Have a good night, John,” I tell him and a beaming smile takes over his face.

“I should walk you out,” Luci says. “Are you sure you can get home? I could walk you home and come back. It's no big deal.”

“No, Mr. Knight in Shining Armor, I’ll be fine. Ironically, I live about two blocks from here and I’m used to walking or riding my scooter alone late at night. Hazards of being a bartender,” I tease, and I notice his nostrils flare.

“I don’t like thinking about you being alone late at night,” he growls, and I swear I see his ball cap move on his head. I rub my eyes, trying to clear my vision. I must be over-tired. It's been a long but amazing night.

“Come on, Luci, stop being an overgrown grizzly bear and walk me to the front.” I grab his hand, pulling him out of the gate and to the front yard.

“I had a good time tonight, Marley. When can I see you again?” he asks and my belly gets butterflies at the thought of spending more time with him.

“Actually, me and some of my friends are going to the beach tomorrow since it’s my day off. Did you want to come with us?” I notice his eyes widen, almost like he’s panicking, but I’m not sure about what. Maybe he can’t swim?

“Ummm, sure, I’ll be there. What time?” He swallows hard and a sheen of sweat covers his brow.

“Like eleven. We like to get there before it gets packed,” I tell him and he nods in agreement.

Then he leans down and his lips capture mine in another toe-curling kiss. I step closer to him, parting my lips so he can push his tongue inside my mouth. He grunts in approval, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him.

Holy fucking guacamole!

His hard dick presses against my lower belly and I’d be willing to put money on the fact that he is hung like a horse. Through his pants and not even fully hard, it feels bigger than ten inches. If shit gets more intimate, he’s going to crack me open like a watermelon with that monster.

He pulls back and his eyes dart between mine like he’s checking to make sure I’m good with what just happened. Pressing up on my tiptoes, I give him a peck on the lips. “See you tomorrow, Luci,” I whisper before turning on my heel and heading down the driveway to the sidewalk.

The entire walk home, I can feel my soaked panties rubbing against my core and inner thighs. At this point, this guy has me so worked up that if we ever do get naked together, it’ll only take one look from him and I’ll orgasm. I don’t know what it is about him, but I’ve never felt so strongly about someone that I barely know, and in such a short time, too.

This is going to be one wild summer.

“So, Marley is a sweetheart.” My uncle gives me a knowing look.

“She is.” I smile into my coffee cup. Last night was amazing. Spending time with her felt so natural. I didn’t want the date to end after supper, so I was thrilled when she agreed to come over to watch a movie.

It was hard to keep my hands to myself when all I wanted to do was touch her. But that kiss at the end of the night was worth the wait. Her soft lips and taste drive me wild. I had to, for yet another night, take care of myself after my time with her. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this hard, this often, in my life. Maybe it’s the mate thing, but just looking at her has my monster side going wild to claim her.

Today is the test, though. I’ll know for sure once she sees the real me. If she doesn’t like me as a monster, then I won't mention we're mates. It would be too hard to have to deal with that kind of rejection. If she doesn’t like who I am, then I’ll go home and do my best to try to forget her.

Yeah, easier said than done. Marley isn’t someone you can just forget about overnight, if ever.

“Are you two going to date?” He elbows me playfully.
