At my nod, he winked, tagged my hand, and then led me out to his SUV.
Twenty minutes later, I was frowning at the walking trail.
I looked down at my heels, then over at him.

He winked, “What’s that?”
“To make love to you in a field of wildflowers and not have to worry about bugs crawling into places they shouldn’t be.”
“You had my cock rock hard, then you ruined it.” He said dryly.
I laughed in his face.

I was sighing.
Laughing.
Crying.
