Jess couldn’t keep her hands to herself during the drive. Her wandering hands nearly had me crashing the car. My pants felt uncomfortably tight.
I parked toward the back, near a group of giant trees that provided some sort of privacy. There weren’t that many cars or people milling around. However, I had an inkling that we wouldn’t be seeing much of the movie.
“So,” Jess drawled, turning in her seat to face me. “How was your day?”
“How was my day? Really? That’s what you want to talk about?”
She lifted a bare shoulder and smiled sexily at me. I watched as the fabric of her off-the-shoulder top slid down a little further, hinting at the cleavage that hid beneath.
Her breathy laugh at me focused gaze filled the car. Every nerve went on high alert, and I wanted to devour her right there and then. But it had been a long week, one where we had seen little of each other, and I didn’t want to rush the small things that also made up our relationship.
So, tearing my gaze away from what I desperately wanted to see, I asked, “How wasyourday?”
Jessica laughed again. “I just asked you that question. How can you expect me to answer your question if you don’t answer mine?”
“Fair point. Okay.” I shifted in her direction. “My day consisted of doing rounds and helping a kid get a toy out of his nose.”
She shook her head and looked away, almost as if she were remembering something herself. “Kids can be a handful.”
“That they can. There was this one time, I think I was like ten or something, and I thought it was a good idea to see how many marshmallows I could stick up my nose. Turns out, not that many.”
“You did that, too?” Jessica exclaimed, throwing her head back in hysterical laughter. I wanted to lick that long, slender piece of exposed skin.
“I knew a boy who did the same thing!” she said between laughs.
“What can I say? Boys will be boys.”
“They sure will be.”
Calming down, Jessica smiled at me. All I wanted at that moment was her. Extending a hand across the middle console, I reached for her hand and brought it up to my lips. The kiss was soft and gentle, a prelude to what I wanted to do to every inch of her before.
Jessica drew in a breath, exhaling loudly and her chest moving more rapidly.
The movie hadn’t even started yet, and we were already halfway gone in each other.
“I, uh, I’ve been here before,” Jess said.
Instead of pulling her hand away like I expected, she turned her palm up and folded her fingers into mine. “So have I.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Why? Does that surprise you?”
“Kinda.” She nodded and bit her lip, glancing around outside. “I only thought people who grew up here knew about this old place.”
A long ago memory played in my subconscious, but I forgot it before I could actually think about it. “My grandparents used to live around here.”
“Oh, right.” She blushed. It was just as much a turn on as the skin-tight jeans she wore.
We stared at each other a moment longer, the air becoming more and more heated with our need.
“Do you want a snack?” I asked her quietly.
“Yes.”
Damn. “What do you want?”
She didn’t answer right away. “You,” Jess whispered.
