Wild Collision (Us 4)

She groans. “You’re on a roll tonight.”

I shrug. “I can’t help it. It comes naturally.”

“Whatever,” she grumbles, starting up the stairs.

They lead to another door which she pushes open and steps onto the roof.

“If you brought me up here to freeze my ass off, you’ll succeed.”

I take her hand. “Come on.”

I lead her to the other side of the roof and she gasps. “Hollis,” she breathes on a whisper.

I open the door to the greenhouse and she steps inside, her mouth parted in awe. Twinkle lights are strung from the ceiling and it’s nice and toasty warm inside. I remove my coat and hold my hand out of hers. She slips out of it and just as I thought, she wears a skintight dress. It’s black, with long sleeves and ends well above her knees. She wears a pair of black heels with red soles that do amazing things to her legs and ass.

I bite my knuckles and hiss. “Damn Mia. You look fucking sexy—I mean you always do, but … fuck.”

Her eyes heat and I can see her nipples harden through the fabric. Something tells me she’s not wearing a bra, and from how tight that dress is? Yeah, I bet there aren’t any panties involved either.

If she’s trying to kill me she’s succeeding.

I push all my naughty thoughts out of my mind. There will be time for that later.

We have all night.

I drape our coats over one of my arms and with the other I put a hand on her lower back, my fingers splaying onto her ass, and guide her through the greenhouse, stopping when we reach the table I requested. It’s covered with a white tablecloth and set up with candles and a low vase of flowers. A bottle of wine waits for us—the food will be coming shortly.

“Hollis,” she breathes. “Did you do all this?”

“Well, it was my idea but I asked the staff for help. I couldn’t exactly get all this up here without their permission.”

She laughs as I pull the chair out for her and she sits down.

A staff member steps out of the shadows and takes our coats before disappearing again.

I sit down across from Mia clearing my throat. I feel slightly awkward. I’ve never done anything like this before and I feel insecure.

Is it too much?

Not enough?

Does she think I’m going to propose or some shit?

What have I done?

I clear my throat again, pushing my worries aside and watching Mia as she looks around taking everything in.

“This is so beautiful, Hollis. I can’t believe you’d do something like this for me.”

When her blue eyes meet mine they shimmer with barely contained emotions.

“I wanted our first official date to be something you’d never forget,” I admit.

Her eyes have strayed around once more, but drift back to me. A smile tugs her lips. “You never do anything small do you?”

“Baby, there’s nothing small about me.”

She rolls her eyes and I chuckle.
