“Good answer.” I grinned. “You go finish up and enjoy that ass. But get yours upstairs as soon as you’re done.”

She pushed to her toes and gave me a quick peck on the lips. “Yes, sir.”

I pulled out all the stops to set tonight’s mood. By the time Billie knocked, I had two burners going, bread warming in the oven, soft music playing, and the table set with lit candles.

When I opened the door, she held out the flowers I’d given her down at the shop. “I brought you these.”

I smirked. “How thoughtful of you.”

Billie chuckled. “I didn’t want to leave them downstairs since I’m off tomorrow. Do you have a vase? I realized on the way up here that you might not. It’s usually men who are giving flowers, not getting.”

“I think I do. My mom sends me flowers for Father’s Day.”

“Awww... That’s so sweet.”

I took the bouquet from Billie’s hands, set it on the kitchen counter, and wrapped her in my arms. “Thank you for giving me this.”

“The flowers? I’ll let you in on a little secret… I sort of got them for free.” She smiled.

“I meant the night off from everything going on. The way I was feeling this afternoon, I didn’t think I’d be able to change my mood. But the idea of spending a night alone with you made it easier than I thought.”

Billie’s face softened. “I’m glad I can help.”

I rubbed my nose with hers. “You do. A lot.”

I poured us each a glass of wine, and Billie sat on the counter next to the stove while I finished cooking. “I brought us a game in case your mood needed some cheering up.”

“Oh yeah? What kind of game?”

She pointed to her purse on the chair. “Grab my bag, and I’ll show you.”

Billie dug out an oversized deck of cards from her purse and held them up, showing me the name on the front of the package.

I arched a brow. “Sex Trivia?”

“I bought them at that little bodega down the block that sells bongs and dirty magazines. They’re behind the counter at eye level, and I’ve been curious about them for a while.”

I grinned. “You shop in that place? I’ve only ever seen the stuff they sell from the outside.”

She gave me a look. “Don’t be so judgy. They have the best coffee, and it’s only a buck.”

I took the cards from her hand. “I’ll have to check it out. We have a little time before dinner is ready. What do you say we wager on this trivia game?”

“You haven’t even seen the first question yet, and you want to bet you’re going to win?”

I shrugged. “If I lose, I’ll eat you out for dessert. If you lose, I’ll eat you for an appetizer.”

“Umm… That sounds like I win even if I lose.”

“Do we have a deal?”

Billie smirked. “I’m never one to turn down a wager.”

I smiled. “That’s my girl.”

The first card out of the pack was an interesting one. I cleared my throat and read it aloud. “What position is the most likely to bring a woman to orgasm? A. Doggy style, B. Missionary, C. Reverse cowgirl, or D. Woman on top?”
