“Tomorrow night, I will rectify that.I’m going to treat you to dinner and a night on the town.”His brain was already hard at work planning out the perfect date.
“How about dinner and back home to play?”Her hips rolled against his, letting him know what kind of play she meant.
He was on board for lovemaking, but he wanted to show her another type of good time.“Later.I want to spoil you.”
June smiled sweetly at him.“I don’t need to be wined and dined to feel special.Just being with you is special enough.”
How had he gotten so lucky to find a woman like her?June didn’t need presents or lavished with attention to feel loved.Just being with the person was enough.“Oh, baby.Alright, dinner and home to play.”There was nothing he could deny this woman.
“Good.”June’s eye started to droop then sprang open.“Will you still be here in the morning?”
Rob closed his arms around her.“I’m not going anywhere.”
June closed her eyes, and he felt when she gave in to sleep.Rob closed his own eyes, feeling at home and at peace for the first time in years.
Chapter 38
“So where are we going?”June asked for the hundredth time as they walked down the street toward the restaurant.He and the guys had eaten here several times.They had great food, and it wasn’t overly pricey.
It was perfect for a casual date, and yet, he could still kind of spoil June.
She had dressed up for their date, wearing a spaghetti strap dress that hugged all of her curves and showed off her bountiful breasts.They almost hadn’t left the house, but he had made a promise to take her out and show her a good time, and he was a man of his word.
“It’s a surprise.”
“I don’t like surprises,” she pouted.
Rob kissed her well because one, he wanted to and couldn’t resist and two, she looked so adorable when she pouted.“You’ll like this one.”
“How did I let you talk me into this?”she asked more to herself than to him, but he answered anyway.
“Because you love me?”he posed as a question, though he already knew the answer.
“True,” she mused and looked off at nothing, appearing thoughtful.“Mores the fool.”
“Are you saying you regret loving me?”Rob knew that couldn’t be true.She couldn’t feel trapped in loving him as if it wasn’t of her own choosing, right?
“Never,” she responded quickly and looked up at him with love radiating in her eyes.
“Good.”He relaxed.June was his first serious relationship, and Rob had some misgivings.Not about her, but his being worthy of her.“We’re here.”
Rob pulled them inside the building.It was dark and rustic, full of old movie icon posters and memorabilia.
The seating hostess looked up at them from her table at their entrance.She grabbed two menus and headed into the seating area.“This way.”
“What was that about?”June leaned close to whisper to him.
Rob just shrugged.He had made a call ahead so they could have a secluded corner booth.“Nothing, just good service.”
“So, what’s so special about this place?”June asked as she took her seat.
“It’s where the guys and I hang out a lot.It’s where some of us met.The owner is a veteran and a friend.”
“You mean a contact?”she whispered so no one overheard.
Rob was startled that she had made that connection.“That too.”He wasn’t going to tell her more than that.She didn’t need to know too much about his profession.
“I like this place.It’s like it’s in a time warp.Even the booths look like they are from the twenties or something,” she observed, looking around the space appreciatively.
