I'm a little tired, and he's starting to get recognized, so I tell him we should move on. We get in the SUV, and Blake tells me we have about an hour drive. "I've never driven in the snow, which is another reason I got the car service. I didn't want to take a chance with you."
"We're going into the mountains?"
"Park City."
"Really? I've heard it's beautiful there, but I've never been. Are we going straight to the hotel?"
"No. I thought we'd get dropped in town, and do a sleigh ride, or have dinner. Our hotel has options, but I was hoping you were up for a little exploring."
"I am. Do you mind if I take a little nap?"
"Not at all. You can use me as a pillow."
"Thanks. Your date is blowing mine right out of the water, by the way."
"It's not a contest, but I'm really glad you're enjoying it."
"I am."
I curl up into him, resting my head on his shoulder as he puts his arm around me, and kisses the top of my head. It's not long before I feel my eyes closing. "Sweet dreams, Dree."
Blake
I hate to wake Audrey up, but we're here. There's a light snow falling and the sun is fading. It's beautiful, and I want her to see it, so I kiss her softly. She starts kissing me back a moment later, and I pull back to smile at her. "We're here."
"Oh wow," she says, looking outside.
The lights around Main Street are just coming on, and it looks magical. I help her out of the car, and tell the driver that we'll be here for at least a couple of hours. He makes sure I have his number, and then drives off.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes. Very."
"Shit. I should've fed you in Salt Lake."
"I wasn't hungry then. I woke up that way."
"Are you sure?"
"One thing you can always count on with me, Hollywood, is that I will eat when I'm hungry. Pregnant or not, I love food, and I'm not vain enough to skip a meal in order to make myself look good."
"You always look better than good."
"Thank you."
"I heard there's a really good Italian place around here," I tell her as I take her hand and begin to walk.
"That sounds like Heaven."
We find the restaurant, and have a really good meal, despite a few people asking for autographs. I'm used to it, but I hate that my date with Audrey is interrupted. She takes it all in stride, and even acts as photographer when needed.
"Sorry, Dree. I was hoping I could fly under the radar."
"I am having the best date of my life. I promise. I don't mind making your fans happy."
"I want to kiss you, but if I do, it's going to be all over the internet in seconds."
"Does that bother you?" she asks, looking hurt and confused.
"Not even a little bit. I just want to make sure you're okay with it. I know you said you were, but it's important to me that I don't mess anything up for you."
"I don't mind being photographed with you. It's kind of a dream come true for me-being out with you, I mean. Not the cameras," she tells me with a smile.
"Yeah?"
She nods, and I lean over the table to take her face in my hands. I pull her towards me, and kiss her softly. I hear the cell phone cameras, and for once they make me happy. I want the world to know I'm with Audrey. That she's mine, and I'm hers.
"Ready for a sleigh ride?" I ask, pulling back to catch my breath.
"Only if you promise to kiss me again while we ride."
"Like not kissing you is even an option."
"What are we waiting for? My sleigh awaits."
"Why yes, it does."
I take her downstairs, and we get into the sleigh I reserved. I bought the whole night because I wasn't sure when we'd need it, and I'm glad I did. The ride is fun, and the kisses are magical. Huddled up under the blankets, with the lights twinkling and snow falling while I have Audrey in my arms, is beyond description. I seriously can't think of words that are good enough to describe what I'm feeling right now, and it's only our second date. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Audrey
We're both quiet as the SUV takes us to the hotel after our sleigh ride. Something changed today between us-well not really changed, more like crystallized for both of us. We fit perfectly together. We laughed, and talked about everything and nothing, and it was perfect. Even now sitting here in the quiet, with my hand in his, I feel how right it is. We don't need to speak, or say anything.
We're met at the entrance to the hotel by the manager, who takes us to our room himself. "I was told you didn't want to upgrade, Mr. Armstrong."
"Correct. This room is more than adequate."
"If you change your mind, I can have one of the suites ready for you immediately."
"Dree?"
I smile, because I love that he didn't get us the fanciest suite. "Like you said, this room is beautiful. We don't need anything fancier."
"My lady has spoken. Thank you for the offer, but we'll stay here."
"Very well. Everything is set up for you tomorrow, and we have you down for a late evening departure."
"Thank you."
I wait until he leaves, and then arch an eyebrow. "More plans for tomorrow? Isn't it my turn?"
"Technically, it's yours, but I was hoping you'd let me extend my date. You can have an extra one later in the week."
"I was just teasing. I'm loving this date, and I can't wait to see what else you have planned."
"Right now, my plan is to get a fire going, and then get you out of those clothes."
"I like that plan, on the condition that your clothes come off too."
"You first, while I take care of the fire."
"I'm getting rewarded for putting my body on display for you, right?"
"What do you think?"
"I'm getting lucky tonight. Like really lucky, and I didn't even buy you dinner."
"I really adore this funny side of you. You were so serious those first few days with me."
"I like to be taken seriously, so usually no one outside of the Society and our close friends ever sees me letting loose with the sarcasm."
"I'd glad to be included in that group."
"Even after you saw how corny I could be at the hospital?"
"I told you-adorable."
"I don't think ‘adorable' is a word I want associated with taking our clothes off. Unless it's our safe word."
"We don't need safe words," he tells me with a laugh.
"Then stop saying that word while I'm taking my clothes off," I say, taking off my sweater, long sleeved t-shirt, and leggings, while he gets the fire going.
He turns to look at me in my lace bra and thong, his eyes on fire, and his mouth curved up on one side. "Gorgeous, sexy, hot, beautiful, delicious, mouthwatering. How about those words?"
"Much better."
He looks around, and then pulls the comforter and pillows off the bed, arranging them in front of the fireplace. Once he's got them all set up to his satisfaction, he takes my hand and pulls me down and lays me flat on my back with the pillows underneath my head and lower back.
"Comfortable?"
"No."
"No? Is the floor too hard?"
"No. But you're still dressed. I'm not comfortable with the amount of clothes you have on."
"Soon. I need to play with your body for a little while first."
"If you weren't so damn good at doing that, I'd fight you a little harder on this."
"I don't think I could get much harder without having to go to the doctor."
"I'm ready and willing to take care of that for you."
"All in good time."
I might've argued more, but he drops his head to my stomach and gives me little kisses all over. He's murmuring about how much he loves the baby, and yeah, it's hot as hell, but I need more. "Lower, Hollywood. Or even higher. Please."
He smiles before kissing my hips and then my ribs. "That better?"
"Not even close," I say, squirming beneath him.
"How about here?" he asks, lowering my panties a little to give me kisses where I don't need him again.
"You know I wore this tiny thong because you said you could tear it off me."
"I said ‘maybe' and it's too pretty to tear up."
He does pull it off and then removes my bra, too. I run my fingers lazily over my nipples as he watches. I look at his throat as he swallows hard, and then he smiles again. Leaning over, he gives me one long lick down my center, and then backs up again.
"Blake," I plead.
"I want full participation, Dree. I love when you play with your tits for me, so that's a good start. What I need more, though, is a good face fucking. I want you taking what you need from my mouth. I want you to help me make you crazy. And then once you're dripping wet, I'm going to put my cock in you and fuck you until you lose your voice from all the screaming. Do you understand what I want? What I need from you?"
"Yes." And damn if I don't now want everything he does-and more.
