Instead I left and put a plan together for the dates I plan to take her on over the course of the next few weeks, starting tonight. I know I need to handle this carefully. I saw the look in her eyes last night. I know she’s worried I’m not taking this seriously.
She’s wrong. I’m taking this more seriously than I’ve ever taken anything in my life. Hell, she is my life as far as I’m concerned. I just have to go about proving that to her. The first step is our date tonight. I can’t help but smile again as I start to get ready for this meeting. By the time I’m done, Mia won’t know what hit her.

“Why can’t you tell me where we’re going again?” Mia asks from the passenger seat of my car.
I glance quickly over at her before refocusing on the road in front of us.
“It’s a surprise,” I say for the tenth time.
She shifts in her seat, crossing her ankles together. When she answered the door for our date a little while ago, I damn near swallowed my tongue when I saw her.
She has on a black short set romper that shows off her legs. Her hair is in its usual curls, but it’s down around her shoulders, something she doesn’t do often. And she put in her contacts, instead of wearing her glasses, another thing she doesn’t do often.
Mya left just as I was getting there, and it doesn’t take a genius to recognize that she helped her get ready. She shot me a smug look on her way out the door saying ‘you’re welcome’ on the way out.
I think she looks beautiful with her glasses on, but without them her eyes appear even bigger. The green and gold pop more dramatically. It took everything in me not to back her into her apartment and do all the filthy things I’ve been fantasizing about over the past twenty-four hours.
Like wrapping her legs over my shoulders as I go to town on her—.
I shift uncomfortably in my seat trying to stop my rapidly hardening dick from hardening anymore.
“You know I hate surprises.”
“Since when? You usually love them,” I say winding my car through the streets of downtown Chicago.
She huffs, fidgeting with a loose curl. “That’s because you won’t tell me. All you said was to dress casual. I’m not so sure this is casual, despite what Mya said.”
“Would you stop fidgeting, you look beautiful.” I reach for her hand and bring it over to my lap covering it with mine. I hear her breath hitch and I can feel her staring at me. Okay maybe it wasn’t a good idea to put her hand in my lap, but it’s too late. I’ll be damned if I move it now.
“Thank you,” she murmurs, and I know I don’t imagine the breathy quality to her voice. Fuck.
This is going to be a long night of trying to keep my thoughts out of sex territory. Thankfully, we pull up to our destination a few seconds later. Mia perks up, her hand on my thigh tightening, although I don’t think she even realizes she’s doing it.
“You brought me to the carnival!” The excitement in her eyes matches that in her voice.
I shrug. “Yeah, I know how much you enjoyed it the last time we came, but that was back when we were teenagers. I figured it would be a good place for a first date.”
The smile she gives me would surely bring me to my knees if I weren’t already seated. She unclicks her seatbelt before throwing her arms around me. My hands instinctively go to her hips. Her fruity scent surrounds me, and I breathe it in.
“It’s perfect,” she says before pulling back slightly. “Thank you.”
My hands spasm on her hips, instinctively pulling her closer. She’s close. The thin thread of control I’m holding onto is so close to snapping.
You have to do this right, Levi.
Her darkening eyes and the slight speeding up of her breath, don’t help at all. Instead of devouring her like I want to I place a soft kiss on her lips and pull back.
“Come on. Let’s go hit some of these rides.”
And that’s what we do, a few hours later we’ve hit all the big rides including the Ferris Wheel. I’ve won her a huge teddy bear playing a game where you use a bean bag to knock a bunch of pins over. Now we’re making our way up the stairs of her apartment building and I’m having a helluva time keeping my eyes off her ass. Once we get to her door, she peeks up at me from under her eye lashes.
“That was the best date ever. Thank you.”
Tucking a curl behind her ear, I smile down into her eyes.
“It was the best date I’ve ever been on too.”
And I’m not lying. I’ve been to operas, fancy restaurants, and a bunch of other places with different women over the years, yet nothing was as satisfying as talking, laughing and playing games with Mia over the past few hours.
Her joy at something as simple as me winning her a teddy bear was refreshing. We’ve hung out so many times over the years, but this felt different. A better kind of different.
She looks at me skeptically. “Really? This was the best date you’ve been on?”
I nod, looking at her seriously. “Yeah, because it was with you.”
A blush stains her cheeks and I can’t flight it anymore I cup her cheeks in my hands, lean down and fasten my mouth to hers. Her arms circle my neck as my hands trail over her ass to the backs of her thighs hoisting her up.
She gasps when she feels my hardening erection poking her in the
