“Erm, I’ve never been on a date and at first I didn’t think you’d stand me up but then I started thinking and once that started, I panicked.”
“Jesse, baby, I can promise you I’ll always keep my word. If I say I’m going to be there for you then I’m going to be there. I’d never leave you standing around waiting. Stupid fucking traffic kept me away today.” He hated traffic.
“You weren’t exactly late.” She giggled.
“I know but look what happened. I was a few minutes behind and another guy tried to steal you away from me. I’m not having that.”
Her giggling stopped. “I wouldn’t have gone anywhere. I’m not easy or anything.”
Reaching across, he grabbed her hand, squeezing it. “I never said you were, baby. You’ve got to know how hot you are. So many men want you. They’re all ready for me to move aside so they can have you to themselves.”
“Not happening.” She squeezed his hand back. When she made no move to pull away, he kept their fingers locked together, driving one handed. He liked her touch. Happiness shined from her face when he glanced toward her.
The drive took over twenty minutes before he found a parking space in an underground unit. Paying for the parking, he climbed out going to the trunk. “I’ve got a picnic for us to enjoy.”
She rubbed her hands together.
“I’ve also got the perfect location. Come on.” He offered his arm and she linked hers through his. Together they headed out to the warm summer afternoon. The streets were busy but they made it over the road and into the park area where people could eat. “Have you ever been here before?”
“Nah, I usually eat a sandwich outside or wait until I get home.”
“Come on, I’ve got a good spot near the pond.” He led the way through the throng of people toward his favorite area. The pond was busy with plenty of ducks, birds, and swans.
“Wow,” she said, resting her hands on her hips.
Her heels were sinking into the grass. Grabbing the blanket bound on top of the basket, he placed it on the ground before easing her down. Going to her feet, he slid the heels off.
“Oh, what are you doing?” she asked. Her cheeks were a lovely rouge color.
“We’re in a park. You don’t need to be wearing these killer heels but I’ll certainly be asking you to wear them again.” His thoughts were filled with how the heels would feel digging into his back as he rode her pussy hard.#p#分页标题#e#
Placing them beside her, he took a seat on the other side, getting close to her.
“Did you sleep well last night?” he asked.
“Yes, did you?”
She was always so polite.
“Yes.” After he’d brought himself to orgasm, cleaned away the mess he slept like a baby with no dreams at all.
They sat together staring out across the pond. Several small children were throwing bread to the ducks. Every time he came to this spot he always felt at peace.
“This is a lovely place,” she said, resting her head on his shoulder.
“Good. I think it’s a great place to wind down from work, especially dealing with clients I imagine you get all the time.” He rested back on his hands, liking the way she rested against him.
“Yeah, we get all kinds of cases. Divorce, murder, family, and a few others that have gone out of my head.” She rested a palm against her forehead. “It’s hard at times watching them all come through knowing some of them are suffering.”
He listened to her talk. Ryan believed part of her problem was she rarely got the chance to really talk without someone dissecting everything she said.
“I see some women who come in and are happy to be getting a divorce. They’re happy to get severance pay or something for time taken. I don’t like them so much, especially if kids are involved. I’ve seen gold-diggers at first hand. It’s surprising how upset some of the men get when they realize they’ve been used.”
“It’s a hard business, honey.”
“Yeah, then there are the women who love their man and they’ve been replaced by a younger model.” She sighed. “I think I need to look for another job. I’m starting to sound depressing.”
“No, it’s good to talk.”
After several minutes of silence he reached out toward the basket. “Are you ready for some good food?” he asked.
“Yes, I really am.” Her beautiful smile stopped him for a moment. Something different was happening to him. The woman before him wasn’t just a challenge to him, she meant so much more.
They barely knew each other and he forced that knowledge to the back of his mind. There was no need for him to get all serious. He’d take each day as it came before heading into any kind of relationship.
