Vow of Surrender

Chapter Thirty

Adam smiled when Caedance grabbed onto his arm as he took the Rezvani over a big bump. He had wanted to take her off-roading since the moment he met her, and he could tell she was having a good time. They had been out here for hours, cruising through the dunes and testing the car's limits.

Saturday had come, and he couldn't decide if he was excited or nervous for their night with Koda. She hadn't given much detail because she wanted it to be a surprise. He'd suggested going for a drive to calm his nerves and she'd enthusiastically agreed.

"This is so fun!" she shouted above the roar of the air blowing through the windows.

"It's a rush, right? I'd do this every weekend if I could!"

"Can we? When we're not working, we should make this our weekly date. Consider it your reward if you're good."

Adam clasped her hand in his, bringing it to his lips. In the week since they became official, she hadn't touched him, so to say he had blue balls was an understatement. She claimed she wanted him to wait until after Saturday, and the night couldn't be over soon enough.

"Then I will be on my best behavior. Besides, if it makes you happy then I am happy."

She leaned over and kissed his cheek before standing up and sticking her top half out of the sun roof. he slowed down a bit then took a smaller jump. She spread her arms and cheered as the car caught some air before landing.

He could get drunk off this forever. Seeing the smile on her face as they did something they both enjoyed. Having her hand in his as they cruised down the back roads of Newell. Laughing together.

Adam brought the car to a stop close to the lake then put it in park. Caedance sat back in her seat coming her fingers through her wind-tussled locks.

"I feel like a kid again. I haven't had this much fun in years!"

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope this was an adequate first date. I wanted it to be memorable."

"You sure exceeded my expectations, Mr. Drake. I'll never forget."

He learned forward to kiss her then stopped. He was still getting used to their dynamic, and he wanted to be good for her. He still had so much to learn.

"Sorry," he said. "I almost forgot to ask for permission."

Caedance smiled, moving closer to him. " What is it you want, Tiger?"

"To kiss you, My Lady."

She rested her hand on his chest, slowly sliding down until she reached the button on his jeans. "Is that all you want?"

He swallowed, using every last bit of willpower to keep his own hands to himself. His eyes wandered over her hot legs, which were exposed. Her shorts were dangerously short and her tank top had a slight V giving him an idea of what lay underneath.

"No. But I know not to ask for more than I've earned."

"What makes you think you haven't earned it?"

Her fingers teased the button on his jeans, her pinky stroking the zipper. She had such beautiful hands. He wanted her hands all over him.

"I don't want to assume anything, My Lady. Besides, it was your idea not to do anything until after tonight."

She groaned, moving back in her seat. "You're right. It isn't fair to tease you like this, no matter how much I love doing it."

"I would not turn down a kiss though. If that is still allowed."

Caedance smiled then crawled into his lap, straddling him. He hadn't expected it, but it was a pleasant surprise. Her flowery scent filled his senses as she pressed her lips to his.
