“Was the blindfold really necessary?” she asks as I maneuver her into position so she can get the full view of the room.
“Yes, now hush and let me woo you.”
“Yes sir,” she sasses and damn if my dick doesn’t jump. It’s been two days since she gave me the best damn blow job of my life and I’ve been in a perpetual state of hardness. It’s getting ridiculous and honestly, I don’t know how much longer I can hold off.
Of course, the sight of her ass in this dress is not helping. At all. I attempt to shake those thoughts off.
“Okay are you ready?”
“Yes,” she says the excitement clear in her voice.
I carefully remove the blindfold. She gaps covering her hand with her mouth as she takes in the room.
I reserved the back room at Tempest, the restaurant Liam took over ownership of from our dad. There are lit candles and rose petals throughout the entire room and a table set for two. I’ve never done something like this for a woman before so I’m a little nervous about what she’ll think. Like maybe I went a little overboard and she’ll think it’s cheesy as fuck.
Fuck maybe I should have toned it down a little. What the hell is wrong with me? I’ve never acted this way over a woman before. But then again this isn’t just any woman.
This is Mia. My Mia. And I’ll make a fool out of myself every damn day for the rest of our lives if it means making her happy.
“What do you think?” I ask.
She turns to me and the smile on her face brings me relief.
“It’s beautiful. I can’t believe you went through all this for me,” she says looking up at me.
I get that familiar gut punch when she stares up at me like that.
“You should know by now I’d do anything for you, baby girl.” She stands on her tip toes and I bend down meeting her halfway for a kiss. Her tongue traces the seam of my lips and I groan as I open for her. My arms tighten around her waist as I pull her more firmly against me.
She hums in the back of throat as our kiss grows hotter and wetter.
I don’t know how long we stand there kissing but images of me fucking her up against the dinner table are starting to play over and over in my mind.
“Ahem.”
Mia shrieks and jumps away from me. Her cheeks are flushed, and her eyes have that glazed look I’ve become familiar with after we kiss.
I look over my shoulder to see Gavin and Natalie standing there. Nat at least has the decency to look guilty, Gavin on the other hand looks like he’s trying not to laugh.
“Are we interrupting something?” Gavin says with that stupid smirk on his face.
My eyes narrow on him. He knows damn well he was interrupting. My dick is deflating thankfully, the sight of my brother and sister in law killing it.
“Have you ever heard of knocking?”
Gavin opens his mouth, I’m sure to say something smart but Natalie touches his arm and speaks over him. “We’re sorry. We didn’t mean to, um, interrupt. We just came to say hi, but we can come back later.”
I say, “Great see ya,” at the same time Mia says, “No, it’s okay. I’m sorry you, um had to see that…” she trails off awkwardly. The blush staining her cheeks is prominent. It’s cute.
Natalie steps forward and gives Mia a hug. “It’s good to see you. love that dress! Oh, I meant to tell you I just finished Tempting Fate and I loved it!”
Mia’s face lights up, like it always does when people start talking about books. “Really?” she says.
Natalie nods vigorously, smoothing a hand over her chef’s jacket. “Yes! I’m so glad you and Ava put me on to romance novels, I can’t seem to get enough!”
“You should try books by…” they launch into an animated conversation and I watch Mia fascinated by her. Everything she seems to do fascinate me.
“I see you didn’t fuck it up,” Gavin says coming to stand next to me.
“No, I didn’t fuck it up.”
He slaps a hand on my back. “Good, I’m happy for you bro. You deserve it and it’s obvious that Mia makes you happy.”
My throat tightens unexpectedly at the comments. Mia does make me happy. Happier than I’ve ever been in my life. I never understood how Gavin, or my father or Liam could want to be tied down to one woman for the rest of their lives.
When Gavin met Natalie, he was barely twenty-two, yet he knew almost instantly that she was the woman for him. Liam was a bit older when he met Ava but I have no doubts that if they’d met earlier in life, he would have been ready to settle down and probably wouldn’t have gone through everything he did with Victoria.
I wish I’d noticed my feelings for Mia earlier. I know we’re only twenty-five, but it feels like we’ve already wasted so much time. Time we could have been together as a couple. I guess it’s better late than never because I have no intentions of letting go.
She’s mine and once I convince her fully of that things will be good.
“Thanks brother.”
Gavin and Natalie stay for a few more minutes to chat before they have to get back to the kitchen. Soon one of the waiters is coming to take our orders. Once we’ve ordered Mia sits back in her chair gazing around at the rose petals.
“The last time we were here was for...”
“Liam’s birthday,” I finish the sentence for her.
A
