“We can take Millie to the party.”
I grabbed the pan of fruit pizza and looked at Delaney. “Who?”
“Millie, the pretty Cadillac you bought me.” Delaney grabbed the keys from the hook by the door and remote started the car.
“You do know it’s like seventy degrees out right now. You don’t need to warm up the car, Del,” I laughed.
She grabbed the pan from me. “It’s like a new toy. You can’t blame me for playing with it.”
“I got a toy you can play with after this party tonight,” I joked.
She rolled her eyes and marched out the front door. “Grab the taco dip and let’s go, boy toy.”
I grabbed the pan from the counter and closed the front door behind me. “Does that mean we get to play when we get home?”
She laughed and pressed the button on the key fob to open the back hatch. “We’ll see.”
I set the pan next to the taco dip and pulled her into my arms. “That sounds promising.”
“Well, I do need to continue to thank you properly for Millie, don’t I?”
I nuzzled her cheek. “Pretty sure you thanked me properly three times last night.” One of those times was with a blowjob that was out of this world. Delaney’s mouth was like a little piece of heaven.
“I just want you to fully understand just how much I love this car.” She wound her arms around my neck and sighed. “Plus, I wasn’t sure if we would have time for each other the next couple of days with your family in town.”
Yesterday, Leelee and Kurt hadn’t gotten to Leeds Square ‘til after nine, and I had told her we would see them at the party instead of driving to the hotel to see them then. Leelee wasn’t exactly excited about that, but she said she got it.
“Leelee is not going to keep you from me,” I insisted.
She patted my chest. “Keep telling yourself that, boy toy.”
“Is that my new nickname?” I laughed.
“If the shoe fits,” she laughed. She reached up to press the button to shut the hatch and took a step back. “Get in, I’m driving.”
She gleefully walked to the driver’s side and slipped inside.
Delaney loved the car and, thankfully, didn’t tell me I needed to take it back. Though I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.
She honked the horn and must have rolled down the window. “Get in, loser, we’re going to the party!”
Delaney was happy as hell, and I had been the one to put that smile on her lips.
Now all I had to do was make sure it stayed there.
