She ate one of her wings, then took a sip of her water. All around us were other people eating, and we could hear children screaming and running around, but it felt like we were the only two people in the room.
“It was a feeling I had. Over the years I learned how to follow my gut. I also pay attention to cars in driveways. Usually, if there is a car in the driveway, there’s someone in the house. It was hard to see, but my foot hit you.”
“So you kicked me,” she teased. “No, seriously. I’m glad you went with your gut.” She shivered and closed her eyes. “I don’teven want to think about what would have happened if you didn’t.”
“It was more like a nudge. And you don’t have to think about what would have happened, because you are here now, and good.” I winked.
Once we finished eating, we left the arcade so I could take her back home.
“Did you enjoy yourself?” I asked as we drove toward Maverick’s temporary housing.
“I did. It was for sure fun kicking your ass in all the games.” Maverick looked at me and laughed.
I glanced over at her as she cracked up. “You ain’t gonna let me forget it, are you?” She shook her head. “How do you know I didn’t let you win?”
Maverick sucked her teeth as we came up to a stoplight. I looked over at her and licked my lips. I wanted so badly to kiss her. From the look in her eyes, she wanted me just as much as I wanted her.
I leaned over the console, and she met me halfway. It didn’t matter if the light turned or not; I was not going to pull off until I felt her lips.
Her eyes roamed over my face, stopping at my lips. I let my tongue slowly trail my bottom lip.
“Do you want to kiss me as much as I want to kiss you, Maverick?”
I was sure the light turned green, then red again, but I didn’t care. Nobody was behind me, so I wasn’t in a rush to move.
“I do,” she whispered.
I smiled at her, then cupped the back of her neck and pulled her close. I softly kissed her lips, then slowly inched my tongue into her mouth. Her tongue was sweet, tangy, and fruity from the BBQ sauce and the drink she had. We got lost in the kiss until a horn beeped behind us.
Reluctantly, I pulled back, then took off.
“You don’t know how long I’d been wanting to do that.”
“Me too.”
When we arrived at her temporary home, I parked the car and walked her to the door. Her dog barked from the other side.
“Spencer must have heard us,” I said as we stood on the porch.
“Yeah, he’s a very alert dog.”
“I can tell.” I stepped closer to her. “Do you mind if I kiss you again?”
Maverick put her arms around the back of my neck and stared into my eyes.
“No, I don’t mind at all.”
With her permission, I wasted no time in kissing her, and much more intimate than I did in the car. Maverick moaned as I let my hand roam down to her ass and cuffed it. It was soft as hell and made my dick hard.
It took a lot of strength to pull back, but I did.
“If I could, I would kiss you all night long.” I kept my hands resting on her ass.
“Maybe some other time.” Her arms were still wrapped around my neck.
“I can’t wait,” I told her, then kissed her lips again. “Can I call you when I get home?”
Maverick in my arms felt like she should have been there all along. She closed her eyes when I brushed a finger down the side of her face. She was so damn cute.
