Lisa gave him a thoughtful look. He’d hooked her, which was good. Sometimes he liked her thinking, especially if it was about him.

“You’ll be available for…?”

“I don’t know. Bowling.”

She snorted. “You hate bowling.”

“Good point. We could go to movies.”

“We used to love that.”

“I hear they’re reopening the old drive-in.”

“Really?”

“Do you remember when we used to go?”

She laughed. “Yeah. You, me, and about ten of our friends, all piling into a couple pickup trucks packed up with lawn chairs and coolers. It was fun.”

He reached for her hand. “I liked it better when it was just the two of us there.”

“Of course you did. Because we did more making out, less watching of the movie.”

He had vivid memories of the times they spent cuddled together in the car. “Duh. Why do you think I liked it?”

“You would.”

“Though I think I got you pregnant at the drive-in.”

“I think you might be right. Maybe it’s not such a good idea for us to rekindle our love of drive-in movies, then.”

He tilted his head back and laughed, then stood and dragged her out of the chair, pulling her against him. “Okay, no bowling. No drive-in movies. I can think of other ways to pass the time.”

Lisa locked her arms around his back, her hips brushing his legs. She tilted her head back. “You can, huh?”

“Yeah.” He pulled her sunglasses off, needing to see her eyes. So clear, bright, filled with the passion he felt, too, whenever he got close to her. She made him feel like a kid who couldn’t control his own libido. Hell, he got hard whenever he was around her. That didn’t happen with other women. He definitely had a thing for Lisa.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked.

He refocused his attention on her face. “What? Nothing.”

“Not true. You get this glazed look in your eyes whenever you’re thinking about something. Kind of unfocused, like you’re deep in thought and miles away.”

“Sorry. I was actually thinking about you.”

She quirked a brow. “You were?”

“Yeah. And how I get a hard-on whenever I’m around you. It’s kind of embarrassing. I’m too old to pop an erection whenever I’m near a woman.”

She grinned and rocked her hips against his. “Oh, I don’t know about that. I like it. It’s a compliment.”

He slid his hand down her spine, palming the small of her back and pushing her closer to him so he could press his erection against the softness of her body. “You say that now. What if we were in the grocery store?”

“Hey, it’s your hard-on, buddy. People will be staring at you, not me.”

“I’ll be pointing the finger at you and telling everyone it’s your fault because you’re so damn sexy.”

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me.”

“I just might do that.”

She laughed, and he loved seeing her so free and relaxed. It reminded him of when they first met.

“God, you’re beautiful, Lisa. I can’t believe how much time we’ve wasted.” He tangled his fingers in her hair and brought his mouth down to hers, tasting the sharp sweetness of wine on her lips.
