Chapter 293 - Third Date Material
She had been thinking about this moment since he had surprised her. But she wouldn't be sharing that with her followers. Contrary to popular belief, she had created this personality and it was mostly not like her. It was a performance.
"So, I'll answer some of the questions." She opened her laptop and then scrolled through the messages. "An overwhelming amount of people asked if he was from here and not City H." She straightened and shrugged. "No, he is from city H. Though, knowing the traffic, it is going to take just as much time to reach here from my home." She stopped. "No, don't take it another way. I am not going over to his home this soon."
"This one is interesting. Is he handsome?" She chuckled, thinking about the face that women drooled over. "He is that and much more. But it doesn't matter. In my opinion, it's the heart that matters. Once you like someone, you just find them attractive no matter how they are. You start finding their flaws attractive… or at least you accept them."
Half an hour later, she decided that she was done with the questions.
"Well, that will be all you get for now… or ever." She bid her farewell and then stopped recording.
It was 3 am in the night, the usual time for her to record her video. She had a couple of hours to edit and then time to post. Daily posting was such a struggle.

Her hotel was close to the convention, so she walked there. There were fewer people that day. The last day of convention was usually slower because everyone was going back home or really tired from the two previous days. The few panels and good booths were still open. She made her way around, talking to people and meeting the remnant of her fans.
At noon she decided to head back to the hotel and dress up. It was time to unleash the really s.e.xy dress for the third date. She stood near the parking lot and didn't need to wait for long. He pulled into the parking lot and she could see his lips pull up when he saw what she was wearing.
Almost comically, he parked the car and pretended to bang his head on the wheel. He got out of the car and went to her side. Guiding her to the car, he groaned.
"You're going to kill me one of these days." She turned to him and gave him a hot stare. Her throat was dry and she had to swallow before she could speak.
"I don't know what you are talking about." He brushed his fingers on the small of her back and pulled her in close. She held her breath as he leaned in and planted a light kiss on her lips. She sighed, opening her eyes and seeing his wicked grin.
What a tease. At least, he hadn't ruined her lipstick.
"Jesus Christ," he said suddenly, startling her.
"You just remembered how s.e.xy I am again?" she snarked back.
"I have never forgotten." He cleared his throat.
If he kept talking like that, there was no way they were getting anywhere. Hell, just his presence was enough for her to want to hand over her panties to him.
They shouldn't break the law and be accused of public indecency. How would that look on the headlines? Horrible, that was what.
"I'm going to be a criminal by the end of the night."
"Or I am," he interjected, giving her a look. "If you keep looking at me like that, I am going to be terribly distracted while driving and cause an accident." He opened the door for her and helped her in.
"Okay, you criminal, where are we going?" she asked.
"It's going to be a secret," he told her.
"Damn. You're going to be all secretive. You win… I am desperate to know." She twisted in her seat and looked at him with a heated expression. "Are we going to your hotel room?" He burst out into laughter.
"Well, not right now," he admitted in a small voice. They turned the corner of a wide street and entered a parking lot. "Let's go in now. I'll give you a wild ride on the way back."
Her stomach fluttered at his words. "Ah, so you are taking me to your place. Very third date material." He threw her a sly look.
"It is a possibility if you behave..." he trailed off, raising his brow.
"Now that is a little hard to do." She stopped. "But you know what is hard when I am mischievous?" He groaned in response to her bad attempt at a pun.
"Always so naughty," he chuckled, shaking his head. He crossed over to her side and kissed her.
The kiss was hot and demanding, almost making her want to climb into his lap and have her way with him despite the cramped space. His hand was on her neck, keeping her in place and guiding her. The other was on her side, slowly stroking and making her whimper into his mouth. She took the opportunity to put her hand on his thigh.
He jolted back and scrubbed his face with his hand. "Way to go against your plan, Cage." He made a strangled noise from the back of his throat. He laughed through his nose, trying to calm himself down.
She had to suck in a few deep breaths to gather her thoughts again. "Let's go inside before I tell you to skip the date and go over to your hotel."
He smiled.
"You want to go in, believe me," he said softly. She looked at the entrance and pouted. It said 'Lockdown.' If this was what she thought it was, she would definitely want to go in.
She got out of the car and beckoned him on. "Let's go." This place catered to mystery and games enthusiasts, who liked to solve puzzles and play to win. It described the two of them perfectly.
