Page 74 of Love Harder

The proverbial stars?

The butterflies?

The something, something?

Yes, I did.

It pulsated throughout my entire body.

The chemistry was there.

He kissed me how I liked.

He didn’t shy away from showing me that he was the one in control, which I loved.

Although I am the dominant in my world, when it comes to the bedroom, I want my Superman to throw me around and pull my hair while whispering the dirtiest of things into my ear.

And The Unicorn delivered.

He gave me lots of eye contact, and when he slipped his hand under my dress, I knew I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this boy.

But I wasn’t afraid.

I didn’t feel objectified.

Or that dinner was a ploy.

On the contrary.

I felt as though I had met my match in every way.

Instantly, I noticed he opened the door, waiting for me to get in before him.

I liked that—a lot.

He was a gentleman, but what he did to me during the car ride revealed he also had no qualms taking charge. The Unicorn’s hand remained under my dress. Again, the eye contact. And again, him revealing what a bossy, unapologetic man he was while I had to bite my lip to stifle what he was doing to me.

Though he wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t want it because I recognized The Unicorn as being quite observant. And this was cemented as the night progressed.

Once we arrived at the restaurant, which he was fine with me choosing, he opened the door again and held my hand as we walked the street. I couldn’t help but think those incredible fingers were inside me moments ago.

Oh, the scandal…

We walked into the venue, a place that embodied the devil quite literally, which seemed fitting because I knew that once the night came to an end, I was going to be fucked into hell and back by this man who was setting me on fire as each second passed.

We sat down to dinner, and once again, the conversation wasn’t forced.

There were no uncomfortable silences.

Or pauses.

There was never a moment when we weren’t talking.

And I wasn’t even drunk yet.

He didn’t hold back and told me everything.

He was a father of three, something he was very proud of.
