“Grim?” she wondered, surprised and clueless.

“Yes. Grim. Unlike the Kings, he’s allowed to date and he’s very proficient at it.”

“Oh!” she whispered, this news having the desired effect he wanted. “Definitely a bad idea to be alone.”

“Tell me your plans,” he said, wanting Grim out of the air.

“Well, now thathe’sout of the picture, that changes a lot.”

Interesting. He sat across from her at the island where she leaned over her tablet. The student-like pose brewed new chemical concoctions in him while the barest sight of her delicate laced mounds tempted him.

“Fishing?” he wondered, her words pulling him from the flames.

“Yes, I think it qualifies as something ordinary people do. I’m not into fishing,” she added, her smile captivating him. “But I can’t say I never wanted to. So, two birds with one stone,” she quipped.

“And…what qualified individual will lead this expedition?”

“Ace,” she said simply, reminding him he’d be there. And Sophie. Because this was a double date.

“Yes, he should know these things,” he said, getting her happy nod while wondering how to secure a date with only the two of them. He could get Shank to cancel and do something elsewhere with Sophie. Then meet up later. But that would mean fishing without an instructor. But it was fishing, not rocket science. “What else?” he wondered.

Her smile brightened with a look of mischief that spoke to his cock. “I want to fly a kite with you.”

With him. His entire body rejoiced with those two words. “I’m ready.”

“And take you to a bar. To dance.”

“I don’t dance,” he said, without even thinking.

“Exactly why we need to do this.”

“I don’t dance because I don’t know how to,” he reiterated.

“ButIdo,” she muttered, that mischief back in her eyes. “And I’m an excellent teacher.”

“I have no doubt of that. But…why must we do this in public?”

She did her thinking squint then shrugged with raised brows. “I guess we don’t. We can do that anywhere.”

“Private would be preferrable,” he said, trying to imagine it. Anything alone with her he was more than ready for.

She sucked in a breath, her pretty eyes going wide. “What if we have a home date. I cook for you, we watch chick flicks which are supposed to be good for learning the art of romance and after that, we can dance! And play games!”

Fucking King me.

“I like this much better.”

“You do?” she cried, her exuberance getting him hard as he considered how he could tweak those plans.

“I do,” he said. “But I’d still like to try and fish. And fly the kite with you.”

She rejoiced with little claps and happy smiles, the innocent acts drawing a barbaric lust from his bones. “I love this! I should call Ace and see if he can take us fishing with Sophie!”

“I’ll do it,” he hurried. “You can call Sophie.”

“Deal,” she said, looking around for her phone while Rukem pulled his out and opened Ace’s messages. “I’ll go in my room to call. Be right back.”

Rukem texted,She wants to go fishing and kite flying but I don’t want to share her. After, she’s arranged a private date at her apartment. She wants to cook me dinner then we’re watching a movie, playing games and dancing. This covers half the list your Belle Eveque gave me since they are all things I need to experience to learn the art of commoneering and romance. Can you text me back and say you can’t make it for the fishing and suggest a location that we’re sure to have success at?
