“It’s a pleasure.”
Wayne came out of the room looking perky. “I’ve tried to settle them, but I think hot chocolate before bed was not the best idea.” Lily saw her father glare at him, which only made her chuckle.
“I’ll see you later, dad.” She kissed his cheek then followed Wayne out of the door.
“What was up with him?” Wayne asked opening her door for her.
“He doesn’t like you or trust you since that morning when you up and left me.” Lily kissed his cheek then got into the car. “Where are we going?”
“It’s a surprise. I’m never going to live that down, am I?” he asked.
“Leaving me?” He nodded his head getting in the opposite side of her. “Nope, it is the first time that the almighty Wayne Brown was wrong. You’ll be living it down for years to come.”
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He started the car. She felt the engine purr to life.
“You look gorgeous. Is that one of my shirts?” he asked.
“Yes, I didn’t think you’d mind.”
“I don’t. You look amazing and hot.” Wayne pulled out of the drive and began down the road. She didn’t know where he was going, and she loved the anticipation of wondering where they were going.
“You’re being all mysterious.” Lily circled her wedding bands smiling at how comforting the weight of the rings felt on her finger.
“I’ll give you a clue.”
“Oh, a guessing game. I’m ready.”
“Some couples go there on dates,” he said.
“Wayne, that can be anything. We went to the ice rink, and that can be a date for some couples.” It was dark, and she didn’t see too many landmarks to show where they were going. He reached between them and took her hand.
“This is where I would have taken you on a date if I’d waited.”
“Okay, I’m getting more excited now. I don’t want to guess.”
They drove in silence for several moments. His fingers stroked hers. She stared down to where their hands lay. His hands were larger than hers. She loved the feel of them on hers. His larger body always made her feel safe.
“We’re almost there. Do you like sweet, salty, or buttery popcorn,” Wayne asked.
“We’re going to the movies?”
“No, we’re going to the drive-in.” He pulled in, and she saw the big screen in front of her.
“I’ve never been to one of these,” she said.
“I know.” He drove towards the back. Once he parked the car, he got out checking his wallet. “You might want to get comfortable in the back. I’ll be back in a second.”
Lily climbed into the back and waited for Wayne to get back.
She checked around her to see other couples pulling up in their cars. It wasn’t as busy as she thought it would be. It was cold, and she knew Wayne would need to turn the car on at some point if the heat left the car.
Lily didn’t know how long she waited until Wayne got back into the car. He handed her a pot of popcorn and a milkshake carton.
“I was talking to a couple of the guys serving, and they reckon they’ll be closing early because of the snow forecasted for tonight. They believe this will be it until the New Year.” Wayne shut the door rubbing his hands.
“Is it cold out?”
“Very icy. I need you to help me warm up.” He held his hands out to her. Lily wrapped her own around him and tried to warm him up.
“This is lovely,” she said.
“We’ll see how we feel in a few hours when it is snowing or freezing our assess off,” he said.
“I don’t care. This is perfect.” She took a piece of popcorn and popped it in her mouth. “So why the movies?”
Wayne moved their popcorn and drink onto the back ledge. “Because, it is perfect for this.” He reached across to her and hauled her over his lap. Lily giggled as he placed her legs on either side of him. “Making out.” He sank his fingers into her hair and pulled her down for a kiss. She closed her eyes enjoying his touch on her skin.
“I’ve never made out in the back of a car.”
“I’m pleased to be your first in everything, Mrs. Brown.”
“Happy Christmas, Wayne.”
“Happy Christmas, baby.” He cupped her head bringing her down for him to kiss. Lily didn’t fight it. She wanted him to consume her. This was their real first date. She looked forward to many first dates.
His hand went from her hair down to her back. She smiled against his lips. “Are you wanting to go further?”
“I wish we could, baby, but I think that would be indecent exposure or something like that. Our lawyer would kill us if he had to leave his wife to come and bail us out,” Wayne said.
“We pay enough to call him away.”
“There are some things even friends would never forgive.”
They chuckled. Lily knew Scarlet and Wayne would get annoyed with them for spoiling their fun. With the number of children they had, Lily knew their time together was precious.
“I think they have their own issues to figure out,” Lily said.
“Scarlet isn’t scared about more children, but Richard is. The last two children almost killed her. I see why he’d be upset. If anything happened to you because I couldn’t keep it in my pants it would kill me.” Wayne stroked her cheek.
“Nothing is going to happen to me. I’d like more children but only because I love having babies that we’ve made. You have to admit, having children is a lot of fun.”
Wayne chuckled. “I’ve turned you into an insatiable woman.”
“You don’t mind that I love your cock?” She felt the heat fill her cheeks even as she said the words.
“The Lily I knew wouldn’t say such things.”
“What can I say? I’ve evolved.” She leaned down and kissed him. The moment to her was perfect. She couldn’t imagine making out in the back of the car with anyone other than Wayne.
Chapter Thirteen
Wayne loved the feel of her in his arms. Her legs straddled either side of his hips. He wished they were at home. The chill of the night was already seeping into the car. Going to the movies would have been better in the summer. Next time he’d think longer when he took her out. It would have been better to take her to the movies in a building or a restaurant. Her smile captivated him unlike any snowfall he’d ever seen.
In a few days it would be Christmas, and he couldn’t wait for the big day. He looked forward to spending it with his children and wife. Usually he spent the day in his office working. No longer would he allow work to take over his life. He had so many people in his world, and he’d make sure to put them first.
