Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 - A Bold Move

James hadn't planned on kissing Cadence, but now he couldn't stop. He'd clearly taken her by surprise, but she hadn't pushed him away…yet. He forced himself to take note of her reactions to him; any shift in body language that might indicate his advances were unwanted. Then, he felt her hand on his chest. James started to pull back, thinking he was being pushed away. However, it seemed he was wrong. Cadence's lips were following his own, refusing to break up their fervent kissing. Now she was the one leaning forward, creating an odd angle that James wasn't sure how to resolve. He didn't need to though as Cadence had begun moving to straddle his lap with her shapely legs. He never would have imagined such a bold move from her and it only fueled his desire. Cadence had one hand rubbing his chest and shoulder while the other had become locked in his hair. James slid his tongue into her mouth and was met with her own. His hands had been resting on her thighs, but they were itching to explore more of her. He grasped her firm round buttocks before sliding his hands under her shirt and up her lower back, feeling the delicate muscles along her spine. Her skin was smooth and warm against his hands. He found the back clasp of her bra and slid his hands under it to feel the movement of her shoulder blades. "Mmmm" he said, with a groaning undertone. His cock had become rock hard and Cadence had clearly noticed. She had begun slowly grinding against him, arching her back slightly. James wondered exactly how excited she was getting and decided to push his hips forward slightly to give her a better position.

Cadence began panting between kisses and grabbed James's shoulders for stability as she moved faster against him. This drove James wild and he needed to touch more of her. He stopped caressing her back to undo the clasp of her bra. He held her firmly with one hand and moved the other one to her slim waist. His hand quickly move up, past her ribs and to the delicate material of her bra. His fingers delved under it's fabric on one side to grasp her full breast. He massaged it slightly, in appreciation of it's shape and size before finding her nipple, pert and eager. Cadence's breath hitched at his touch and James knew he was making her close. He brought his other hand forward as he focused on her nipples, pinching lightly and pulling gently. Her breath became more erratic and she was moaning softly into his mouth. Suddenly she tensed and arched her back more, breaking their kiss to lock eyes with him as she continued to grind. That bit of eye contact seemed to throw Cadence over the edge as she threw her head back and shuddered against him, releasing a small breathy cry. James hadn't realized how close he was himself, but seeing Cadence orgasm, so flushed and beautiful on his lap, he was sent over the edge as well. He moved to his hands to grip her ass tightly, pressing her closely against him. He wanted to feel as much of her as possible as they each rode the final waves of their pleasure. Slowly they both calmed, and their breathing became more regular. They locked eyes for a moment, and suddenly, Cadence looked shy. James couldn't help buy smile at her and he decided something in that moment. He brushed his thumb against her swollen bottom lip, red from their passion and asked "Would you like to go on a date with me?"

—————————————————

Cadence was already reeling from what they had just done. She'd had no time to process it and was still sitting on James's lap when he'd asked her on a date. Feeling a little unsure and embarrassed about how uninhibited she'd been just moments before, she could only mutter a simple "Yes" and was rewarded by a big sexy smile from James. They had no time to bask in their mutual afterglow as they both became aware of the sounds of movement getting closer. Someone was approaching from the back of the house and Cadence practically hopped back to her seat just in time. Mrs. Garcia entered then, taking off her gardening gloves, apparently done with her work in the greenhouse. She said hello and did a double take of Cadence and James's appearances. Cadence could see her keen eyes notice their disheveled hair, skewed clothing, and flushed faces. She clearly knew something had happened between the two, but said nothing before chuckling softly and heading to her suite. Cadence was feeling a bit self conscious as she glanced at James. He, on the other hand, looked thoroughly relaxed and blissful. He stared at her openly, appearing almost dazed as he asked "How adventurous are you". If it was possible, Cadence blushed even harder that she already had been. She decided to answer carefully, in case her assumptions about his question were wrong. "I think I need you to clarify what you mean by 'adventurous' before I answer" she said tactfully, as she swiftly re-hooked and adjusted her bra. James briefly quirked a curious expression, before realizing what seemed to be a miscommunication. "Ah, yes. I can see how my question could be misconstrued. I was not asking about your adventurousness in the…um…bedroom. Although, that information would be well received should you wish to share it. I was actually asking in general so that I can plan our date. So, let me be more specific. Would you like to go rock climbing and then to dinner at the Odd Duck with me this evening?" James asked, as he reached to hold Cadence's hand. He kissed her fingertips tenderly as he waited for her answer.

Cadence exhaled, grateful for James's explanation. She'd never been rock climbing before but was definitely willing to try it out. As for the Odd Duck, she had been wanting to eat there since she discovered the place existed. They were an Austin owned restaurant that used locally sourced products to create imaginative dishes. They made things like kale beignets with shiitake dressing and mushroom chorizo tostadas. Their menu changed throughout the year and they were currently serving a sweet potato mochi donut as one of their desserts. Even though Cadence had never been to the Odd Duck before, she was on their e-mailing list and followed them on social media. So, she tried not to sound like too much of fan girl when she replied saying "Sure, that all sounds great. I've been wanting to try out that restaurant actually". They decided to go rock climbing at an indoor spot called the Crux Climbing Center in South Austin at 6pm and had dinner reservations for 7pm. This gave Cadence about three hours to relax, get ready, and most importantly…call her mom. She really regretted not calling her mom the night before. The conversation they needed to have was getting more complicated by the hour.
