It was Saturday night, two short days after Jack’s magic fingers gave me the best orgasm of my life, and Jack and I were having our first official date. There was just one problem. “Where are you taking me?” I asked for the umpteenth time as we drove through downtown Newcastle.
“I told you—it’s a surprise.”
“All my life, I thought the word ‘surprise’ meant something unexpected. Turns out, it actually means a form of torture.”
Jack smiled and shook his head. “I only get one chance to take my girlfriend on a proper first date. I’m dragging this out as long as I possibly can.”
The only clue he gave me was to wear something comfortable that I could move in, so Taylor helped me choose distressed black jeggings, a gray sweater with pink hearts on the elbows, and my favorite pair of Chucks. I kept my makeup light, just some mascara and vanilla lip gloss that Jack kissed off before we made it out of my apartment.
“What if I guess where we’re going? Would you tell me if I was right?”
“Nope.”
“Well, we’re heading west, so we could be going to Boise. Are we going dancing? Or maybe to that new indoor rock climbing place?”
“I’m not answering any questions about tonight’s plan, and just so you know—the next time I surprise you, I’m bringing a blindfold.”
Bingo. If he wouldn’t answer me directly, maybe I could distract him long enough to get some information. I reached over the console and slowly slid my hand up his inner thigh. “Is that your way of telling me you have a kinky side?”
Chuckling, he linked his fingers over the top of mine and moved our hands back to the console. “That’s another thing I won’t be discussing right now.”
“Afraid you’ll scare me away?”
“Afraid I’ll get to our destination with a raging boner that will make my plan much more uncomfortable, not to mention embarrassing.”
“Aha! We’ll be doing something in public if you’re worried about being embarrassed.”
Jack let out a good-natured groan and shook his head again. “You’re relentless.”
“I’m a planner. I like knowing I have my bases covered. What if I’m not dressed properly? What if—”
“Stop.” He let go of my left hand so he could cover my mouth. “I already told you, you look beautiful and what you’re wearing is perfectly fine. You trust me, right?” When I nodded, he dropped his hand and re-linked his fingers with mine. “Good. Now close your eyes.”
“Fiiine,” I huffed, though my smile let him know I wasn’t upset. Quite the opposite, actually. The guys I dated in college were few and far between, and none of them had ever put forth this level of effort. I let myself get lost in the moment, not paying attention to the twists and turns along our route as Jack hummed along to songs on the radio and absentmindedly stroked my palm with his thumb.
After a few more minutes, he pulled into a parking space and stopped the car. “Okay, Miss Investigative Journalist, we’re here.
