He put me down when I got to the depth of water where I could stand comfortably, and we stayed there talking until his erection subsided. A couple of hours later, we were back on the road and looking for a place to eat. We stopped at a small roadside restaurant that advertised fish tacos. I hadn’t eaten them since vacation, and my mouth watered when I remembered how tasty they were.

Austin played with my fingers while we waited for our meal to be served. He seemed fascinated with them. “You have such small delicate hands. Do you wear rings? I bet you need to have one special ordered.”

“I wear a five and a half, but I don’t wear jewelry much.”

“I noticed. Why not?”

“You know why. I want to be subdued. Being flashy doesn’t help.”

“I think you need to get over it. People are either going to approach you with respect, or they’re not.” Austin took my index finger into his mouth, nibbling the pad.

“I want to remain in the background,” I said as I popped my finger free.

“As long as it’s my background.”

By the time the waitress brought our meal, I was thoroughly heated. I never had this feeling before with anyone. I calmed while we ate and talked about our upcoming week. Austin had tests to grade if he wanted to give them back on Monday. I needed to go through emails and do some paperwork when I got home. If we weren’t together, I would’ve spent all weekend on it.

“Thank you for a lovely day,” he said.

“I should be thanking you, especially for what you did in the water.”

“You liked that, did you?”

“I want to return the favor when we get home.”

“I think that can be arranged.”

Austin stroked his knuckles against my cheek before he popped the last of his fish taco in his mouth. After we finished, we got in the Audi to drive home. I was daydreaming and looking at the pretty landscape when Austin pulled off to a small stand with a dirt driveway.

“Why are we stopping here?”

“The best soft serve I ever had.”

“I don’t need ice cream; I plan on licking something else.”

Austin groaned, and I gave him a wicked smile.

“We won’t be up here for a while, so indulge me, please. You can get something small.”

For such a tiny stand, the line was long. The menu board had plenty of flavors, and I ordered lemon while Austin got black cherry in small waffle cones. We leaned against the car eating, and I seductively licked at my cone with the tip of my tongue. He shifted his feet and pulled at the legs of his shorts.

Austin leaned in to whisper in my ear. “You need to stop that, you tease.”

I flicked my eyes to his. “You know what I say about teasing.”

“Yes, I do, but I have to wait, and that’s no fun.”

“Do you want me to relieve you on the drive?”

A rumble erupted from his throat. “The answer to that is no unless you want to end up down the cliff.”

I laughed as I bit into the crunchy cone. We finished and were on our way back to Los Angeles a few minutes later.

“So, what do you think of the soft serve?” he asked.

“It was delicious.”

We were interrupted when my phone vibrated in my purse. I fished it out to check who was calling. “Hassan, what’s up?”
