Joseph pulled up to the address that Miranda had texted him right after she left. Though he had a suspicion that her friend was the one that sent it the message ended with a wink. He chuckled and walked up to the house.

He knocked three times and waited.

"Dad!" Zeke yelled as the door flew open.

His son flew into his arms and wrapped his hands around him in a hug. Joseph grinned and looked up at the man holding the door open for him.

"You must be Joseph, I'm David, my girlfriend told me to let you in."

"Girlfriend?" Joseph asked confused

"Francine, Miranda's friend." the guy explained

"Oh, I didn't get her name earlier." Joseph wasn't about to tell this man that wasn't the only reason he was confused.

Francine was quite a character. A shamelessly flirty one at that.

Joseph sat talking to Zeke and his friends as he waited for Miranda. He didn't have to wait long though.

"Ready to go?" she asked from behind him.

"Whoa, mom!" Zeke cheered from his place on the floor where he sat playing twister with his friends.

Whoa indeed. Joseph knew he should probably say something but at the moment he was effectively made speechless by the sight of Miranda in a short black dress that hugged her curves and had her round breast playing peek-a-boo at the top of her dress. Joseph pushes his hands in his pockets to avoid touching them. He didn't trust himself not to touch her in places that would probably get him slapped.

The woman was all-around sexy. Her feet were in heels that caused erotic scenes to play in his mind.

"Joseph?"

He blinked and looked at her. Everyone was staring at him. David sent him a look of pity.

"You look, gorgeous." he finally told her.

"Thank you," she replied in a breathy tone.

He so badly wanted to kiss her but knew he had to control himself.

"Be good OK?" she said turning to Zeke. Joseph smiled as his son fussed at his mother for kissing him in front of his friends.

He took the hint and held out his hand to do a quick fist bump with his son who beamed up at him approvingly.

Joseph leads Miranda out of the house by placing his hands on the small of her back. When his hand touched bare skin he gulped and took a quick look at her back.

This torture outfit was also backless, just perfect. He pulled the car door open for her and sighed when he had to let her go.

The drive to the club was filled with awkward silence. He had no idea what to say to her and obviously by the way she sat chewing on her lip, she was in the same boat.

When they pulled up to the club he tried his best to shield Miranda from the paparazzi outside. The bouncer immediately recognized him and let him in. He looked pleased to see a high roller here to party at the club.

He caught Miranda's hand as she made to walk further into the club and pulled her with him to the VIP area that was less crowded. He really couldn't handle large crowds but he wasn't about to let that ruin his date tonight.

A waitress came to take their order and he ignored the way she practically pushed her double d's in his face. He let Miranda order first then gave his own before turning back to her.

"What?" he asked when he saw the look on her face.

"You know she was flirting with you right?" she asked.

"So what? I'm here with you," he replied

"And if you weren't?" she asked curiously.

"I'd probably be with you and Zeke having dinner and watching television as we always do," he answers truthfully.

When she looked away and nodded he put his finger under her chin and turned her back around to face him.

"I'm not going anywhere," he told her looking right at her to make sure she believed him.

"I don't believe you," she told him quietly.

"I'll just have to prove it to you then," he told her.

He handed her the drink that the waitress placed before them. As she sipped on her drink he moved closer to her and put his hand on the back of the couch where they sat.

He saw her eyes go to the dance floor down below and decided fears be damned he was going to ask her to dance. The thought of being pressed up against her already had his body getting excited.

"Want to dance?" he asked her.

She nodded yes and took his hand.

As he pulled her through the crowd he put his hands around her to make sure they didn't get separated. Well mostly he just liked touching her but still, the crowd was heavy in the club.

He saw her face light up as a song came on. Being a guy that was only into classic music at the moment he was clueless. When she grabbed his hands and started swinging her hips he knew he was in trouble. The beat of the music was catching and made you want to move. He held her waist where she put his hands and pulled her closer and moved in sync with her. As she pushed back on him and ground her ass into him his hand slid lower to hold her while they moved.

Pretty soon it felt like they were dry-humping in the middle of a crowded dance floor and the uncensored words of the song only served to heighten his state of arousal. He forgot about feeling clustered in the crowd.

He was pretty sure she was in the same state when she looked back at him with her lips slightly parted.

He gave up fighting it and reached forward to fist her hair and pull her up to meet his eager mouth.

He couldn't hear it but he felt the vibration and was pretty sure she just groaned into his mouth. That caused him to deepen the kiss.

When he pulled away to look at her face he could see she was very much aroused and he threw his vow out the window to take things slow.

Joseph grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the club and to his car. After helping her in he raced to the driver's side and got in and reached for her just as she reached for him.

Their tongues battle for dominance and he groaned in approval when she submitted and gave him total control.

She whimpered in protest when he pulled away to start the car. Then her phone went off.

Joseph turned to look at her when he heard her startled intake and saw her face go pale and her hands trembled as she read whatever was on the phone.

"Miranda?"

She looked at him with tears in her eyes and his stomach clenched with worry.

"He found us," she said and immediately started to sob.

He pulled her into his arms and knew something was really wrong. She was quietly shaking as she cried into his chest.
