Chapter 17 - First dates

This was a first date I was pretty nervous for. I had hoped my nerves would ease up when we left my house but to no avail. He looked very handsome in his dark blue jeans and soft grey button down shirt. I could see a T-shirt underneath his slightly unbuttoned shirt. I wondered if he'd have been more comfortable in just that. My eyes trailed across his chest, enjoying his slim but toned form. My face blushed red as he caught me looking at him all over. I hurried my face into his arm to avoid his gaze and settle my embarrassment.

"See something you like hmmm?", he smirked as he playfully brushed his hair back. My eyes darted up and then away from his.

"I like your shirt it .. looks good on you", I said trying to sound casual. "So can I know now where we are going?", I hurried to say to change the subject from how tasty I thought he looked today.

"Not yet!", he responded quickly, "but we are almost there". He slowed his steps to a stop "Sunny please close your eyes so I can give you your first surprise", he said gently kissing my hand. I blushed but closed my eyes softly, I could feel my cheeks tense as I smiled contently. "Now I'm going to lead you but don't worry I've got you", he said whilst taking hold of my other hand and guiding me. My mind rushed with ideas of where we could be and what he had planned. He led me to what felt and sounded liked wooden planks under my feet. He moved his hands to my waist as he became shorter, "okay now step down I'll keep you steady", he reassured me, I was confused and as I stepped down. My feet felt unsteady and I worried I was about to fall but Sweet held me securely and helped me sit down.

"Can I open my eyes yet", I questioned him as I heard water being gently splashed and a repetitive knocking sound. He wasn't holding my hands or waist anymore and felt further away.

"Alright open your eyes now", he said in a soft whisper. I opened them slowly and saw Sweet lit up with a sparking glow behind him. I took in the surroundings, he had brought me to a lake. Sat in the boat my mouth fell open in awe as I looked out at the shimmering water, the water swayed gently as it basked in the suns rays. A family of ducks swam by quacking happily on their way.

"Aww look baby duckies!", I said excitedly pointing at the ducks. Sweet grinned trying to stifle a laugh that was brewing. He let out a quick chuckle as I felt a little prang of embarrassment about getting so excited over the ducks.

"I haven't heard anyone say duckies in years, that's positively adorable Sunny", he said letting out a more obvious laugh this time. He had unbutton his shirt to row the boat and rested his hands on top of the oars. His shirt open I could see his white tight fit T-shirt that outlined his strong upper body. My eyes transfixed on his chest he spoke again. "Now how am I supposed to row with you looking so gorgeous, watching me", he said as a statement disguised as a question. I didn't look away this time I smiled cheekily and bit my lip in reply. He smirked raising his eyebrow in what felt like a game of cat and mouse. I was taunting the cat and the cat was ready to pounce.

"Well if you need help rowing then I suppose I could take over", I goaded him to provoke his cheeky side out. He flashed a grin, I was learning quickly how much he liked to be teased and play games. He stopped rowing for a moment and took his hands from the oars. He raised both hands gesturing to either side.

"The oars are all yours if you want to show me how it's done", his nose crinkled as he revelled in the game we had started. I instantly accepted his invitation, standing from my seat at the end of the boat. He became frazzled and rushed to take my hands to keep me steady, as I made my way to him in the middle of the boat. When I reached him I turned myself away from him and he looked puzzled, "Sunny, careful, I got you". He placed his hands on my hips as I lowered myself down. I nestled myself between his legs and perched on the seat with him. I rested my back against his chest, it's warmth radiated into me, his heartbeat thumping excitedly. He wrapped his arms around my waist whilst resting his head on my shoulder, letting out a deep intoxicating sigh. "Mmmn, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were teasing me", he growled his voice deep and hungry. My heart flipped and butterflies swirled inside my stomach, as his touch felt like jolt of electricity on my skin.

"I just came to show you how to row", I said a little dreamily as his breath softly grazed my neck causing my head to tilt up instinctively. He responded by placing his lips to my neck and kissing softly and tenderly. A pleasurable sigh escaped my lips and i instantly pinching my lips together tightly from embarrassment I had lost myself in his touch. I could feel his lips turned up into a devilish smile against my skin as he heard my approving sound. I pulled my head down causing his lips to leave my neck, which released all my nervous energy at once I flushed a tomato red across my cheeks. "Hm um, I should show you how it's done", I cleared my throat straightening myself to collect my thoughts.

"Oh really, and what exactly are you going to show me now?", he leaned back behind me resting his hands on the edge of wood in a smirk, his eyes looking to my neck and back again to mine. I smiled my lips curling up at one side, as I took hold of each oar.

"How to row, what else were you thinking?, I looked at him over my shoulder playfully winking, since I knew exactly what he meant. I started to row but it was harder then I looked, my arms felt heavy and we were hardly moving. "You made this look easy!", I exclaimed, completely out of my depth. I panted heavily as I stopped rowing and held my hand loosely on the oars. I was entirely defeated and I was about to let go of the oars when sweet placed his hands on top of mine and leaned forward pressing up against me.

"You did good little ducky, why don't we row together for a while", he nuzzled into my neck once again and kissed my shoulder. I giggled and nodded to his suggestion knowing he didn't want to bruise my pride. As he started to row I could feel the strength of his arms whilst he did the rowing, my arms were being guided my his movements but I could tell he was taking the weight. He was so charming the way he pretended we were rowing together when we both knew I wasn't doing anything. I was filling with a rushing desire to kiss him as I watched his powerful arms swing back and forth. The feeling of his breathing on the back of my neck as we rocked back and forth. I slid my hands from beneath his and placed them over his. I turned to see his face as he beamed with an elated expression. There was nothing I could do to stop myself, I spun around quickly to face him and threw my arms over his shoulders taking the back of his head in my hands. His shocked and puzzled look flashed across his face as I rushed my lips to his, taking us both by surprise how forceful I had been. My hands on the back his head I kissed him passionately, pulling him into me which made him kiss me harder and wild.

The boat had come to a stop as he let go of the oars and ran his hands across my back, grasping me with his fingertips. I could feel his desire and he mine, eventually I pulled back to catch my breath but he quickly pulled me back into his firey kiss. We eventually parted, he held me tightly to him, resting his forehead to mine as we both panted breathless.

"Wow, just wow", he spoke, but also trying to catch his breath. He took my cheek in his hand and stroked it softly, he licked his lips slowly then kissed me so tenderly it felt like a flower petal grazing my lips. I sighed into his kiss, all of my muscles relaxed as I melted into him.
