He shrugged.“Want to go see a movie?”
I laughed, couldn’t help it.“Sure.”
His head snapped over to me.“Seriously?”
My turn to shrug.“Why not?We’ve gotten the first part of the date out of the way, right?It’s not bad form at this point.”
“It’s always bad form on the first date,” he said, his tone light.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Figuring he was right, I said, “Okay.Then what’s on the agenda?”
“Your choice.”
“Ice cream,” I blurted.
“I know the perfect place.”
A few minutes later, we were pulling into a small ice cream shop.I met Edge at the front of the car, where he took my hand and walked me inside.When it was our turn to order at the counter, I kept my fingers linked with his, not wanting to let him go.
“I’ll take one scoop of chocolate, one scoop of chocolate chip,” I told the bored guy staring blankly at me from behind the counter.
“And you?”he asked Edge.
“One scoop of vanilla.”
I chuckled, causing the guy to stare at me.“Sorry.”
Edge pulled me against him, kissed the top of my head, then leaned down until his mouth was against my ear.“What’s so funny?”
I pulled back, smiled up at him.“I’d never peg you for a vanilla guy.”
Edge’s blue eyes flashed with heat.“Only when it comes to ice cream, sweetness.”
Unable to speak, I simply grinned.He didn’t know how much I wanted to explore non-vanilla at the moment.
More than I wanted chocolate, as a matter of fact.

I was sitting on the hotel bed, flipping through channels, when my cell phone chimed with a text.I glanced at the screen and grinned.
Jamie:Ithought I’d text to tell you good night.
Without hesitation, I responded.
Me:Homealready?
Jamie:I am.
Me:Did you have a good time?
Jamie:A fantastic time.
Me:Tell me about it.
