“Yeah, of course it is. That’s why it’s called date night, Honeybuns,” William answered, not taking his bloodshot eyes off the dessert menu.
“Oh, is that so?”I slyly smirked at Gwendolyn, whose cheeks were now as deep scarlet as the wine we drank. She looked down and stared into her lap while fiddling with the hem of her dress.
Gotcha.
“Well, in that case...” I enthusiastically stood up and clapped my hands twice, gaining the attention of the other restaurant-goers. My eyes twinkled with mirth while Gwendolyn’s grew wide with horror. She peered up at me, holding her sandwich frozen in mid-bite. “If I could have everyone’s attention, please!” My voice boomed throughout the restaurant like a clap of thunder. The bartender, who was wiping down the counter, stopped to stare as well with an expression of pure befuddlement.
“What the fuck is he doing?”Lacey leaned forward and quickly whispered to Gwendolyn.
“I’m beyond delighted to inform everyone here tonight that this beautiful, radiant young lady and I are, in fact, on a date this evening.” Some drunkard in the back loudly cheered as though I’d just announced his favorite sports team had won a match. “She might have been reluctant at first, but like a turtle peeking out from the safety of its shell, she has finally stepped into the light. That is all, thank you.” Soft laughter echoed through the dining area as I sat back down. I wrapped my arm around Gwendolyn’s petite frame and pulled her in for a rough side hug while shaking her a bit. “Well, I’m certainly glad that Gwendolyn invited me out on thisdateduringdatenight.” I laughed to rub it in further, knowing that she was absolutely hating this.
A wave of snickers rippled around the table, followed by William’s abrupt, roaring laughter. “Oh my god, man! You’re such a fucking troll!” He slapped his knee, his face bright red as he cackled, sounding more like a monkey than a man.
“Close, but not quite,” I replied with a wink.
“I’ll be right back.” Gwendolyn got up and scurried down the hallway that led to the restrooms.
I continued to chat with the others for a moment before I excused myself as well, concerned that I might have actually upset her. I wandered down the hall and lingered in a particularly dark corner before slipping into the shadow realm with a silent puff of black smoke. The restaurant became cold and dark. Those of the living appeared as ghostly specters with echoing voices. I made eye contact with the spirit of an older man who looked as though he had passed away sometime in the early 70s, judging by his outdated clothing. I didn’t bother him, and he didn’t bother me. Shifting my gaze away, I phased through the wall and into the ladies’ restroom.
The two red stalls were open, and Gwendolyn was standing in front of a pedestal sink, gazing at herself in the mirror. She ran a hand through her long, wavy tresses and exhaled with a rather despondent expression. Then the little light on her phone blinked, notifying her that a message had come through. Technology was more pesky than appealing to me, but it made it convenient to snoop. I loomed behind her, reading the message on the glowing screen. It was from Lacey, asking if she was alright.
My clawed fingers ghosted over her shoulders as I anxiously watched her type a reply. All she said was that she was fine, but it was hard for her to be on a date after, and I quote,“You know what happened with who.”
“You know what happened with who?” I echoed under my breath, knowing she wouldn’t be able to hear me. My gaze darted between her face and the phone, my curiosity only growing. The blue light softly limned her tense features, clashing with the golden lamp light streaming down from overhead. “What the fuck are they talking about?”
I was glad that I hadn’t embarrassed her too much. But now I wanted to manifest back into the physical realm and demand to know who that toad-eating twit was and what happened between them. Not that I would expose my true nature like that, but still. Luckily, she typed she was coming back out, so I quickly phased back into the hallway and materialized just as the bathroom door creaked open. Her eyes locked on mine the moment she stepped out, causing her to jump in startlement.
“Hello, Buttercup.” I grinned while taking a large step toward her.
“What the heck!? Why are you lurking in the hallway like some big creep?”
Quick as a blink, I covered her mouth and pulled her backside against my front, taking her by surprise. “I was waiting for you.” My lips pressed against the side of her ear as I whispered my words. “Now follow me and don’t make a sound.”
She didn’t listen. Her muffled voice was incoherent while I dragged her flailing body through the emergency exit, leading out back behind the restaurant. A flickering dim light over the door offered just enough light to see a couple of raccoons fearfully scurrying back into the woods. The cool air did nothing to chill my skin, but a cloud of breath fanned out around my face. I pushed her up against the brick wall, released my hand, and began kissing the side of her neck and along her jaw.
“What the heck do you think you’re doing!? We’re not supposed to be back here!” She scowled and tried to shove me off...Cute.
“Calm down, Buttercup. I just wanted to celebrate our first date, that’s all.” I grinned and twiddled a lock of her lustrous hair.“Since we are on a date.”
“Alright, alright, you caught me. I hope you’re happy that you finally got your stupid date.” She crossed her arms in a huff and looked down to the side, kicking at some loose gravel.
I inwardly frowned, wondering why she was so against the idea of being on a date with me. It was to my knowledge that human women usually desired such things with men they found attractive. I knew without a doubt that she found me very attractive. So why all the reluctance? After reading that text, I speculated she had been jaded in the past, which would make this whole seduction a bit tricky. It was tempting to ask, but I couldn’t let on that I knew anything. So I held my tongue instead.
“Oh, I am very,veryhappy, and do you want to know why?” I lifted her chin.
“Why?” A nervous tremor ran through her as she waited, her lip caught between her teeth.
“Because now that I’ve fucked you and been on a date with you, I consider youmine,” I said with a grin and bopped her on the nose. “Oh, and one more thing.” I lowered my mouth to her ear. “What did I tell you about biting your lip in front of me like that?” It was impossible to help the way the lust-filled words roughly rumbled out of my throat. She drove me mad whenever she did that. “You just don’t seem to learn, do you?”
I glanced over her perfect feminine body with a wicked smirk and smashed my lips onto hers. She hesitated at first, but then our kiss deepened, her hands wandering to my biceps. She tasted sweet, of wine and desire, almost causing my eyes to glow. Unable to help myself, I forcefully spun her around to face the wall. I reached around to fondle her soft, full breasts and used my other hand to lift the red, velvety material of her dress. My hand dove into her panties, eliciting a little gasp from her. She was already soaking wet, causing a low growl to slip out of me.
“Ashton, what if we get caught?” She asked in a breathy plea.
I swept her hair to the side and kissed along the back of her neck to her ear.“I don’t care,”I whispered, while grinding my erection against her butt.
I removed my drenched hand from her center and shoved two glistening fingers into her mouth. “I want you to taste how sweet you are.Now suck,” I growled while holding her against me and she obliged.
Her tongue danced around my fingers as she sucked them deeper into her mouth with a little moan. I pulled them out, leaned her head back, and kissed her deeply, tasting her delicious juices on her lips. My hands only left her for a moment to unfasten my belt and pants. My cock was rock-hard and throbbing as I released it from its fabric prison, eager to sink deep into her hot, needy sheath. I pulled her soaked panties down her thighs and carelessly let them fall the rest of the way to the dirty ground. My finger ran along her slit, loving how she was so wet and ready for me. I then lifted her dress and entered her warm, dripping cunt.
