Chapter 17

"What are you doing with your tie?"

You looked at Dan who stood at the foot of your makeshift futon bed with a cheeky smile. The sad dimple on his cheek frowned more than ever. He held a simple classic black tie that was featured in a few of his Instagram pictures. Sure he cracked a joke or two about Fifty Shades of Grey around you, but you didn't think that he had actual interest in that particular field of pleasure.

"Can I blindfold you?" His voice ended in a slight high tone, indicating the presence of masked nervousness.

"Are we about to have kinky times?"

"Only if you want to." Dan wiggled his eyebrows in a suggestive manner and caused himself and you to laugh. "But can you actually please let me put this on?"

You moved aside the laptop on your thighs and pulled away the blankets to reveal a small path for him to cross. "Satisfy your urges."

"Y/N please," His embarrassment seeped the tiniest bit into his voice. He mumbled something inaudible as he tied the tie and covered your eyes.

Trusting him with the tiniest doubt, you allowed him to take your hand and maneuver you out of the room and down the stairs. The last part was a particular challenge.

"Okay there's a step in front of you," Dan warned; his voice ahead of you. "Slowly inch your foot forward and find the step."

"You'll catch me if I fall right?" You asked as you tentatively prodded for the step with your foot. Once you found it you stepped forward and felt Dan's arms embrace you.

"Always," he chuckled.

Now it was your turn to giggle. "Is that going to be our always? Trust steps?" You allowed him to guide you around to the front of him.

"Maybe. Not sure if you can catch me though." His mouth brushed against your ear for a brief moment as he whispered. His fingers danced up the side of your arms before resting on the end of the blindfold. With a small sound of cloth sliding away, the tie fell and revealed a dimmed room with a candlelit display.

"Dan this is amazing," you whispered back as you took in the details.

Multicolored fairy lights lined the walls of the longue. A vanilla aroma tickled at your senses from white candles encased in glass cups on the black cloth covered table. Two glasses and sets of silver utensils sat across from each other at opposite ends of the table. In the middle stood a tall bottle of champagne.

"Miss, let me take you to your seat," Dan held a hand against the small of your back and guided you to a seat. He made a show of placing a napkin on your lap. "I'll be back with tonight's special."

You watched as Dan stepped out of the longue, taking a cheeky peek at his butt. Once he left the room your eyes wandered. The sight and mental absorption of everything filled you with warmth that you haven't felt in a while.

"I present you with (your favorite food)," Dan announced as he strode in with two plates of steaming food. He placed one in front of you and one at the other end of the table.

You stared at him then got up to embrace him. You buried your flushed face against his body. "Thank you for all for all of this."
