Thomas: Morning, ladies!
Shelby: Hey, handsome. How are you?
Kenley: Morning!
Thomas: I’m great . I want to take you both on a date tonight.
Kenley: Sweet! Seduction, I assume?
Thomas: Nope. We’re going to Gramercy Tavern.
Shelby: Wow, we’re going fancy tonight! I’ve always wanted to go there.
Kenley: Isn’t that kind of expensive, Thomas?
Thomas: You let me worry about that.
Shelby: Well, I’m in .
Kenley: Me too. I guess we should dress up a little.
Thomas: You’ll look beautiful in anything you choose. I’ll pick you up around 6, Shelby, and then we’ll head to you, Kenley. We have a reservation for 7.
Shelby: Perfect, I’ll see you then.
Kenley: I’m excited. See you tonight!
I tossed my phone aside with a smile. Hours later, I was in a pair of black slacks and a burgundy button-down and on my way to Shelby’s. She was already on the porch when I got there and my jaw dropped. It was the first I’d ever seen her dressed up for anything but the club. She wore a tight black dress that stopped just above her knees. It went high on her neck with a tasteful cutout, showing a touch of her cleavage. A pair of strappy heels completed the look, showing off her amazing legs. I rushed to get out and open the door. I kissed her gently and helped her into the car.
“You look beautiful, Shelby,” I said when I got in the car.
“Thank you. You don’t look so bad yourself,” she grinned.
I backed out of her driveway and headed for Kenley’s place. She was just walking out of the house as I pulled up and Shelby’s and my eyes went wide and my jaw dropped for the second time in twenty minutes. She was in a low-cut baby pink dress that flared out at the waist and stopped at her knees. A pair of black heels completed the look, her toned calves accentuated. I was the luckiest fucking man on earth.
“You look gorgeous, Kenley,” I said, dropping a gentle kiss on her lips and guiding her into the car.
Our timing was perfect by the time we parked and walked into the restaurant it was spot on 7. The hostess led us to a table near the center of the dining room and I helped the girls into their chairs. They both looked around in awe. The restaurant was elegant as hell and they were easily the most beautiful women in the room. The waiter came over and we each chose the wine pairing and selections on their 5-course menu.
“Thomas, this is so expensive,” Kenley whispered.
“And from what I hear, worth every penny. Let’s focus on each other, not on how much the meal is going to cost,” I said, taking one of their hands in mine.
I was glad I had looked at the menu before I left because I wouldn’t have wanted the shock at the prices to have shown on my face. After all, $168 each for the dinner and $98 each for the wine pairing made for a steep bill. I lived a frugal lifestyle, so I could afford this but it was definitely not going to be a regular experience. I noticed the older couple at the table beside us eying our hands but the girls hadn’t noticed yet. I hoped they wouldn’t.
“It’s so beautiful in here,” Shelby said, eyes widening when the first course was set on the table.
The plating was out of this world. Shelby’s eyes closed and she moaned as the first mouthful hit her tongue. It was erotic as hell and I groaned to myself when my cock twitched in my pants.
Baseball, evaluations, grandma.
I repeated those thoughts in my head until I was in control again.
“This food is out of this world,” Kenley said as she cleared her plate.
I realized I’d been so busy watching them, I hadn’t even started. She was right. The food was amazing and I couldn’t wait for the next course as I took a mouthful of wine. I made sure to hold their hands between the courses and by the third, the couple beside us were looking at us with disgust. Kenley noticed first and paled a little, pulling her hand from mine. Shelby followed her line of sight and narrowed her eyes, holding my hand even tighter.
“Kenley, remember what we decided?” Shelby said, reaching over to take her hand.
