Josie snickers and lies down on the blanket, resting her beer bottle on her stomach She looks up at me and bats her eyelashes flirtatiously "Now that you haveto do with me, Mr Olson?"

"I'ht beside you," I tell her I lie next to her, shoulder to shoulder, and I look up at the inky black sky "Just look at the sky and watch"

It's quiet between us for several long moments We both lie there on our backs with our beer bottles resting on our stoasp before I actually see what causes it

"Oh my God," she murmurs in wonder

I see a streak of sparkly brilliance cut across the sky before it flickers out of sight Then I see another I wait only a few more seconds and then another

"Tonight's the Cresson meteor shower," I tell her softly, then reach over and take her hand init"

I feel Josie htly and roll my head to look at her She has her face turned ht me out here so I can see a meteor shower?"

The wonder and softness in her voice touches me

"I know damn well you're so busy you probably didn't even know there was aon for a few nights, but tonight's supposed to be really good viewing because of the weather"

Josie squeezes my hand "I think this may be the best date I've ever been on in my entire life"

I laugh and give her a squeeze back "You're only saying that because I brought microbrews instead of cheap beer"

"So like that," she says quietly, then turns her head back to look at the sky

We sip at our beer, pointing out different shooting stars as we catch sight of them We make ridiculous wishes on each one

Josie wishes for world peace, no-calorie ice creaood, and a decent DC Comics movie to come out I tell her she obviously has not seen Wonder Woht she has off I wish for unli to happen--and for another Stanley Cup victory next season

We eat sandwiches, drink another beer, and I stand by close to Josie with et her

We go home and she insists on a shower, and I'm not one to deny her, especially when she invitesmy cock

After, and as she usually does, she drops down in exhaustion--this tiht I carefully slide out from under her, take care of the condooing into the living room to watch soe to pull Josie's body back on top oftiht was

So I've never had before

So I didn't think I needed

Now that I've had it, it's so I don't want to do without

Chapter 14

Josie

"Need le up the front stairs of my porch

He grunts and huffs "Nope Got it"

"We really shouldn't have bought such a big one," I say as I turn to pushup as Reed advances toward e-ass 4K television he just talked

"You need a big one," he says with a waggle of his eyebrows as he peers over the top of the box at me

"Pervert," I gru room Reed's dressed in a T-shirt and shorts today with a pair of running shoes His sunglasses are perched on top of his hat's bill and his hair sticks out froes He looks sexy as hell, and I do not mind the way the muscles in his arms and shoulders ripple as he wrestles the TV into my house

"I should have you move stuff for me more often," I observe as he squats to set the box down on the floor

He shoots rin "Like what you see, huh?"

"Oh yeah," I say solicitously "Like a lot"
