Page 52 of His Sunshine Baby

“Hmm...”

That’s all I can formulate at the moment. Moon Goddess, I could have some of that anytime. I sigh and raise my head to face Nate. He smiles, with that impossibly sweet look. It’s a bit strange that instead of feeling awkward, this all feels so tender. He gently pulls me in for a new kiss. When we separate, he chuckles. I frown.

“What is it?”

“Just… Gotcha, Miss Whitewood.”

That satisfied expression of his is a bit annoying! But I only roll my eyes, since I’m smiling too. I kiss him, biting his lip a little to be playful. He doesn’t even complain and gets back at me with a little slap on my butt.

“Alright, now we should get back to our meal. We have to feed the baby dinosaur.”

“Moon Goddess, my steak!”

I totally forgot about it! I get off Nate’s lap to look at my plate as if it could have vanished in the meantime. Of course, it’s still there, and looking as appetizing as ten minutes ago. Next to me, Nate bursts out in laughter.

“Elena, you look like you haven’t eaten meat in ages!”

“Hey, try living with someone who’s nearly a vegetarian, and then we’ll talk.”

“A vegetarian? Seriously?” he asks while picking his shirt up off the floor.

“Yeah, Danny is the kind of weirdo that only eats meat once a week, and I can’t cook. But he does some really good veggie stuff.”

I put my panties back on, and we get back to our seats. Nate leaves his shirt open, though, and I don’t know if he did it on purpose, but it’s hard to concentrate.

“Well, it’s a trend these days, but I do know of a few vegetarian dishes that are indeed quite good.”

“I would still like to eat red meat more than once a week,” I sigh.

Especially if it’s as good as this steak! It’s melting in my mouth, along with the perfect red wine sauce. Gosh. For a while, we eat and chat idly, just like friends would. When the waiter comes back to pour us more wine, I feel a bit ashamed and wonder if he has any idea. I mean, Nate doesn’t seemembarrassed by his messy appearance at all. Are they just pretending not to see? When he leaves, Nate wipes his mouth and looks at me with a smile.

“What?”

“Nothing. I’m just… satisfied over winning this.”

I scoff.

“You aren’t the only winner. It’s a win-win situation.”

“Obviously.”

There he goes again with his Cheshire cat smile. I finish the last delicious piece of steak while we playfully sneak glances at each other.

“Hey babe, how is it going?”

“Great. I officially have a sex friend and I’m literally having the best dinner in town. How’s yours?”

“This date is a dream, babe. He took me to the movies. The movies! I mean, I don’t really care forThe Lion King, but I like being able to cuddle in the dark.”

“Bobo deserves a top score.”

“Oh girl, I’m gonna give it to him as soon as we get home. Any sex on your menu?”

“You bet.”

“Atta girl! I want a full report first thing tomorrow.”

“Danny!”
