“Where are you taking me?” I finally cave in and break the awkward silence we’ve been cloaked in since we left my house.

He turns his head, eyes darting in my direction before the light turns green once more. “I’m taking you to a farm.”

“A farm?”

“You got it.”

“How about some details of what we’re doing at this farm?”

“How do you feel about mucking out some stalls?”

“Are you serious?”

He barks out a deep laugh. “No, we’re not cleaning up any horse shit and what we’re doing won’t put you in danger of stepping in any either.” A smile teases the right corner of his mouth.

I watch his strong hands grip the black leather steering wheel, flexing and relaxing. I’ve witnessed how capable those hands are when it comes to firing a gun and I also know how gentle they can be when soothing away my fears. But now in this moment I can’t help wondering what they would feel like on my bare skin. Would they seek out my secrets softly and teasingly? Or grip and rub forcefully until I couldn’t take another second?

“We’re here.” Nash turns into a wide driveway. Stonewalk Farm Cafe is printed in black on the white sign displayed at the edge of the property. I’ve never heard of this place and I have no idea why he chose to bring me here, but I guess I’m about to find out.

The driveway leads to a large parking lot and he steers us into an open space.

“Do you come here often?” I question as he pulls the keys from the ignition.

He grins. “I do actually. Stay put.” He points at me as he climbs out the driver’s side before closing the door. His gait is smooth as he passes in front of the truck and around to open the passenger door for me.

He holds out a hand. “Let me help you.”

My fingers glide across his palm as he clasps mine, assisting me from the seat and away from the vehicle. He shuts the door with his other hand.

“Thanks.”

“Glad to be of service. Come on.” He leads me toward the front entrance. My heart races with a combination of nerves and excitement, curious to see how this night plays out.

Once we’re inside, he directs me past the hostess with a quick wave of his hand. She smiles and waves back as if he’s a frequent patron and now I’m really confused. Does he bring all his dates here? And how often does he go out with women? He squeezes my hand as we walk down a long hallway toward the back of the restaurant.

“Where are we going? Do you need to use the bathroom?”

He chuckles. “You can’t stand not knowing what’s going on. The surprise will be revealed soon, I promise.”

“You like screwing with me any chance you get, don’t you?”

“I can’t say I dislike it.” He smirks and stops in front of a closed door, rapping on the wood with his knuckles. He doesn’t wait for a reply before he turns the knob.
