readily agrees, and I pulling up to the first gas station with a carwash, feed some bills into the slot and drive through as we make sure the windows are up, waiting for the machine to do all the work.
“I try to keep it clean,” I murmur, feeling the space between us, knowing we have at least a few minutes alone.
No, Wes. Save it. Learn to just be with her doing other stuff. You don’t have to have her breasts in your mouth every moment of the day.
I may not need to, but I certainly want to.
“So…” she starts to say, her eyes a bit of a question.
I know she wants to know where we’re going and to be honest I haven’t decided yet.
“We can go wherever you want,” I tell her. “I may as well tell you, I do have a place of my own, several really, but I thought we could go someplace nice. Somewhere special.”
“You have an apartment off campus too?” she asks, wide-eyed with a look of someone who’s impressed.
“It’s somewhere to stay,” I mumble. “A bit like this car though probably needs a little TLC.”
She opens her mouth to say something but changes her mind.
We’re not going anywhere just yet so I want to hear it. “What?” I ask her, “What were you gonna say?”
She shakes her head. “It’s silly, don’t worry about it,”
I give her a firm look and cock my brow. “Katelyn.”
“I was just gonna suggest we do both, but like I said that’s silly. I’ll go where you wanna go, I’m not fussy.”
“Well, I want it to be somewhere special,” I volunteer, opting for some royal treatment for my queen.
And I don’t want her to feel pressured, either. I remind her it’s as slow or as fast as she wants to go.
“I know, Wes,” she says softly. “And thanks for being so understanding,” she adds.
“What did you have planned this weekend?” I ask her, changing the subject a little and remembering how little she’s really told me about what it is she actually does.
She blushes and looks down at her lap.
“To tell you the truth, it seems stupid now,” she says.
“Why?” I ask her.
“Because this is just way better, that’s why,” she says and I can tell she wants to leave it at that.
When I recall how I’m supposed to be hunched over a computer, punching out a budget proposal, I feel myself agreeing with her more than ever.
“This is way better, isn’t it?”
My first attempt at landing a five star suite for my queen doesn’t go so well.
They’re booked solid because of the extended weekend and I almost lose my temper, which doesn’t make matters any better.
“Might I suggest The Excelsior Hotel?” the concierge tells me, looking down his glasses at me, which he has to point looking up on account of my height.
Katelyn’s got the patience of a saint, and by the time I do get us a suite in a different hotel, I’m so wound up it takes a minute for me to remember why I’m here, why this is so special.
“This room is bigger than your whole apartment,” she exclaims, spinning herself around in the sitting room of the suite.
The floor to ceiling windows overlook the town, and we’re on the top floor so we can see all the way to the sea.
“I’ve never had a view so good,” she comments, rushing to the balcony doors and pressing herself against the glass just as the light catches her hair, reminding me how perfect she is.
“Neither have I. Neither have I,” I tell her, moving up behind her and holding her by those hips.
Feeling myself harden again when she presses her warmth back into me.
“Maybe we should get some air?” Katelyn suggests, reading my mood and not even mentioning we haven’t eaten lunch today.
Or dinner last night.
Jesus, no wonder I was so grouchy.
How can she get by on no food, I wonder.
“Let’s get something to eat instead,” I suggest, checking the time and kicking myself for having wasted so much of today already.
Messing around with car washes and trying to find hotel rooms…I’m spoiling her alright. Spoiling the whole day so far.
“I’m starving,” she confesses and I feel bad for not even thinking of putting food before shelter.
I guess I’m just used to being on my own, skipping a meal or a whole day without even noticing sometimes.
“Not Sushi though,” she adds quickly too with a smile.
“Me neither,” I remark, shaking my head. “After last night I don’t know
