I smile against her silky hair. “It is.”
“Okay. I think I want to go on it.”
“You think, or you know?”
“I know, but can it not be some awkward date where you wear a suit and I get dressed up? That’s not really us.”
“Trust me, I know. I have something entirely different planned. Something I’ve been thinking about for a while.”
“Really? What is it?”
“It’s a surprise.” I slip my hand under her shirt. “Now go to sleep.”
“You’re just going to leave me hanging like that?”
“Yup.” I kiss the top of her head. “But block out your day tomorrow because you’re mine.”
“The whole day?” she asks.
“Yes. The whole day. I might not make you dress fancy, but I’m still going to make a lasting impression. Consider this your last first date ever.”
“Awfully confident, don’t you think?”
“It’s not confidence, Ophelia,” I whisper. “It’s facts.”
ChapterTwenty
LIA
“Is the blindfold really necessary?” I ask as he stops at what feels like a stoplight.
“For the tenth time, yes.”
“And dressing me yourself, was that necessary? Or did you just do that so you could play with my boobs?”
“Lia,” he says in a stern voice. “I don’t need to blindfold you and say I need to dress you to cop a feel. I can do that any time I want.”
“Oh? And when exactly did my body become your body?”
“The moment you came on my tongue,” he answers as his hand lands on my thigh.
“Okay, well, that’s an answer.”
He chuckles and says, “We’re almost there, just a bit longer. And I have to say, you did an excellent job eating your donut this morning. You didn’t get any crumbs on you.”
“Not my first time eating a donut. And it was a different experience, eating it blindfolded.”
“Ah, see, the day is already starting out to be a winning one.” He stops the car and the window rolls down. “Good morning,” I hear him say. “Surprising her, not kidnapping.” That makes me laugh.
Whoever he’s talking to says, “Enjoy, Mr. Cane.”
And then Breaker pulls forward.
“Mr. Cane? Are you flashing your billionaire card today?”
“Perhaps,” he answers with a smile in his voice. He squeezes my hand and pulls the car around until he parks.
“Are we here?”
