She bit her bottom lip, then licked her tongue across it. “I’d like you for dessert.”

“Oh, baby, and you will have me as soon as we step back in this place.” I adjusted myself in my pants, hoping to get my erection to ease up until we got back. I’d have loved nothing more than to slide that dress up to her waist, bend her over the couch, and feast on her.

The drive was a total mind fuck. We had great conversation, but she teased me with her tortuous glares, her hands sliding beneath her dress up and down her inner thighs, her little moans, and her constant stroking across my thigh. I thought I was going to have to pull over twice. She was killing me and she knew it. But I’d make her pay for it.

“We’re here.” I put the car in park and walked around to open her door.

We were seated in a booth in the back. The waiter brought us each a glass of water. I ordered us a bottle of wine, and I asked for a few minutes before he brought it to us. My payback began.

I turned my body as far toward her as I could to block anyone else from seeing what I was doing, then placed my hand on her knee closest to me. My fingers inched up her inner thigh. I could feel the heat coming from under her dress and heard her breath hitch.

“Hunter, stop it,” she whispered. I knew that tone. She really didn’t want me to stop, she just didn’t want to get caught.

“Look at me, baby. I want your eyes to stay on me.” My fingers continued their ascent toward her apex.

“Hunter.” She held her thighs closed. I licked the shell of her ear, then placed small kisses on her face, each one closer to her mouth. I eased my fingers up higher and heard her gasp as I touched her mound. She kissed my cheek and parted her legs just enough for me to touch her wet crotch. Her legs widened a little more, and I pressed her panties aside, then slid my digit between her slippery lips as deep inside her heat as I could. I pulled it out, pulled her panties back to cover her, and then raised my finger to my nose. I inhaled her scent, then sucked my finger into my mouth to clean her juices off. Her mouth hung open as she watched.

“Mmm,” I moaned.

The waiter appeared at our table with the bottle just after I pulled my finger from my mouth.

“Would you care to taste the wine, sir?” the waiter asked,

“Yes, please.” My eyes never left Jackie’s.

I turned my head as the server finished pouring the small amount. The wine was a beautiful shade of red. I gave it a quick swirl and took a sip. I was pretty confident Jackie would like it. I gave the server a nod, and he filled our glasses. When he left, I turned back to my woman, holding my glass in my hand.

“To us, moving in together and finally getting your place on the market,” I said. I held my glass toward her.

“Indeed. Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you.” Her glass touched mine, then we each took a sip.

“This is really good. Where have all of the red wines like this been hiding?”

When she set her glass on the table, I placed my fingers under her chin and tipped her head toward me, then lowered my lips onto hers.

“I have another surprise for you,” I said.

“What?”

“Hold out your hand and close your eyes.”

“You didn’t need to get me anything. I want to celebrate my birthday really low-key this year.”

I knew she didn’t really want a big fuss over her birthday, but this surprise wasn’t her birthday present. This was a surprise that I knew she’d love, just because. She loved sports, and this was going to be perfect. She held her hand out to me and closed her eyes, as I’d asked. I slipped the envelope into her hand, then closed her fingers so she wouldn’t drop it.

“Go ahead and open your eyes.”

“What is it?” she asked.

“Um, open the envelope.”

She removed the contents and turned them face up, then squealed with excitement.

“Oh my God! I’ve always wanted to go to a game! Thank you sooo much!” Her arms flung around my neck.

I never expected her to be that excited over Buccaneers tickets. She told me she’d always wanted to go to a game, but hadn’t had anyone who would go with her and enjoy it. I was her guy. I was a long-time Buccaneers fan and was super excited to accompany my girl to a game.
