Chapter Twenty

Rhett

I could tolerate holding back in the parking lot at Shank’s Shells and Tails only because I knew where I was taking her we wouldn’t be interrupted. Additionally, I’d had a discussion with my sister about calling before showing up in the future. To her benefit and mine, she agreed.

It was our first legit date, and I’d tried my hardest not to anticipate anything more physical than our times before, but I wanted her so damn bad. And if she wanted me back—oh, God—she could have me.

I meant that, too. Whatever she wanted was there for the taking.

It was just after seven, and she’d taken it upon herself to unplug my phone in exchange for hers to play the music on the way back toward Wynne. We passed my turn off and she looked my way, but didn’t ask where we were going. I supposed she’d learned by then that she’d just have to be patient and see.

What was it about making her wait, even just a little, that was so damn gratifying? Whatever it was, she let me have it and I liked it.

Sunny was starting to trust me, and she could. I’d do anything for her. Anything to keep her sitting in the middle of my pickup’s cab. Anything to keep my arm around her shoulders as she leaned into my side. Anything to ensure she always wanted to be next to me.

She’d looked like a centerfold when I picked her up. Short, lacy dress. Her hair looked pretty and messy and sexy. And her face had a smile that never really seemed to fade the whole evening. Then there were the boots. Hell, a woman in cowboy boots could set me on fire and roll me down a hill, and I’d still come back for more. The kicker was it was Sunny wearing them.

As I drove down the lane, I waited for her to ask why we were at the quarry, but she didn’t. I made it to the spot I’d set up earlier and backed in, then turned off my headlights.

“Did you bring me here to park?” she guessed. I liked where her head was.

“Not exactly.”

That wasn’t far from my mind, but I’d had more up my sleeve than just taking her to a dark place to make out in my truck.

I hopped out, and she followed.

Pulling the rubber bungees, I unhooked the black cords that held the tarp down over my gear. When I pulled it back and revealed the stuff, she still didn’t know what was going on.

I climbed up the tire and into the bed to get the other side released.

“I am so confused,” she admitted from the ground, looking up at me.

“When I was in college, I bought a projector to watch games outside at the house we rented. So, since Wynne doesn’t have a theater anymore, I thought we could have our own.”

“No way,” she said and continued watching with rapt attention.

It was perfect and I’d already made sure it would work.
