into my mouth and moan as the sugary goodness melts on my tongue.
Walker follows suit and nods as he chews it. “That was really good.” He smiles and I laugh; he’s got chocolate all over his front teeth. “What? Do I have something on my teeth?”
“No, not at all.” I cover my mouth to stifle my laughter.
He turns to the two older ladies at the other table. “Excuse me, do I have something in my teeth?” Walker smiles wide and both ladies chuckle at him, shaking their heads. “I’ll be right back.”
I check out his ass as I watch him walk toward the bathroom. He’s got a great butt, his dress pants showcase it, making my mouth water. A minute later he comes out and sits back down next to me.
I turn toward him. “I’m just curious, why did you agree to a blind date?”
He shrugs. “I don’t know. Normally I’m not a fan of the blind date thing, but the way your mom talked about you…made me think you were someone worth meeting. I won’t lie: when she showed me your picture I knew right away that I wanted to meet you. Why did you agree?”
I shake my head. “I guess to appease my mom. I haven’t dated much in the past two years. I don’t know if she told you, but I was engaged and on the night of our engagement party, I caught my fiancé and my best friend having sex. I just didn’t trust my judgment anymore, so I kind of just gave up.”
“Holy shit, that’s terrible. Was it a one-time thing?”
I shake my head. “No, but I’m actually thankful I found out because he got her pregnant and last I heard, he’s been sleeping with everyone but her since. What about you?”
Walker turns so we’re face to face. “Nothing like that. I’ve had a couple relationships, but they just never went anywhere. School was tough and I tried getting serious once, but it’s hard to do when you’re busy studying all the time. There just hasn’t really been anyone that has piqued my interest until now.” That last part he says quietly and I swear a shiver runs down my spine.
My teeth press into my bottom lip and I don’t miss the way his eyes zero in on it. Fuck, I really want him to kiss me, but not in Starbucks. “Do you want to get out of here?” I can’t believe I just said that.
He doesn’t say anything. He just stands up, grabs my hand, and practically pulls me out of the store. We’re both quiet as he leads me to his Explorer. We stop at my door and he leans in a little. “Can I kiss you right now?”
I only nod once before his lips slam down on mine. I swear to God, stars appear behind my closed lids as he controls the kiss. My mouth opens just enough to brush my tongue against his lips. Walker’s fingers spear through my hair, holding me in place as his tongue duals with mine.
All too soon he slows down our kiss and then pulls away. “Wow,” he whispers.
I can’t even speak; all I know is I want to do more of that. I reach up, touching his lips ever so softly and then push up onto my tiptoes to kiss him again. This kiss is softer, sweeter, and I feel it all the way down to my toes.
“Come home with me?” Walker reaches out, stroking my cheek with his thumb. “We don’t have to do anything, but I’m not ready to end this yet.”
“Okay,” I say on a sigh because I’m not ready to leave him either.
He helps me into the SUV and then walks around to his side. When he climbs in, he grabs my hand, lacing our fingers. I’m so glad I took an Uber to the restaurant, so I don’t have to worry about my car. The tension inside the SUV is thick and I swear my breasts haven’t stopped tingling since he kissed me.
We pull into the driveway of a two-story red brick house with white shutters and a huge porch. There’s a light on and I see a little furry head pop up in the window and smile. That must be Chloe, waiting to greet her daddy.
Walker comes around helping me down. “I’m gonna warn you that she gets really excited around new people.”
“No worries. I love dogs.”
I’m not sure what to expect when I walk inside, but I’m pleasantly
