street she turned her face to meet his and said, “Thank you for the flowers.”
    “You don’t have to say thank you,” he grinned, “Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl. But, you know, it is not just your looks that I like. I mean, I do like them,” he laughed. “It’s just that I like the way I feel when I am with you.”
    Her heart pounded as she got the feeling he was going to kiss her. She felt shy though, and turned her face away, concealing a broad smile on her face.
    “Well, they were stunning flowers,” she said.
    “And I find you to be a stunning woman,” Aiden squeezed her arm with his other hand.
    “So where are you taking me?” Laurie said playfully.
    “Well,” he slowed and pointed across the road, “I thought we could head out to the lake and go out on the boat.”
    “Oh, that sounds perfect!” she said, “I’d love to.”
    Aiden unhooked her arm and took hold of her hand, leading her across the road to his Red Z06 Corvette, which he had parked across the street. He opened the door for her and she slid in. When Aiden started the engine the car practically jumped to life.
    “How did I not hear this coming last night?!” Laurie laughed over the sound of the 650 horsepower that issued from under the hood.
    “I wasn’t in this last night,” he said mysteriously as he flashed her his amazing smile and pulled out into the slow trickle of traffic winding its way down Main Street.
    As they drove around the quiet country roads, Laurie found herself recognizing some familiar spots from her childhood visits. There was Larson’s Grocery on the corner, just as it had always been there. The familiarity and good feelings she had once associated with the place were beginning to come back, and she began to relax even more. The sun was shining brightly overhead and the shadows from the trees cast patterns across her skin. She couldn’t take her eyes off Aiden and his strong hands gripping the wheel. She thought about what it would feel like to have them gripping her. It had been such a long time since she had been with a good man, or even with any many with such strength. Even before she had gotten together with Brad, she hadn’t been with anyone for a couple of years. She had become so disillusioned by men that she had simply lost interest in them all together for a time. Until Aiden had burst into her life and made her think about sex again, she had assumed another sexual ice age was upon her. She bit her lip as her eyes ran down his torso to the bulge in his jeans. She felt her heart flutter and a heat beginning to build underneath her own jeans.
    “Just around this corner,” he smiled, turning to her. Even in the shadows cast overhead by the trees his eyes still shone brightly blue.
    They pulled off the road and into a clearing in the forest. Laurie could see the lake ahead and recognized it instantly. She had definitely been there before.
    “I know this place,” she said, looking up to Aiden. “I’m sure this is where I stayed when I was younger.”
    “Really?” he smiled. “Well my place is on the other side of the lake but my boat is moored here.” He pointed into the distance and she could just make out the tip of a boat’s nose sticking out from behind the corner of a large group of trees.
    They walked to the water’s edge hand in hand as Laurie took in the incredible view. It was a stunning lake.
    “Wow,” she smiled. “I forgot how nice it is to be out in nature, I’ve lived in the city all my life and it’s been so long since I’ve felt free like this.”
    “Me too,” he said.
    “So you don’t live here?” Laurie asked, confused.
    “No, not full time anyway. I have the house here and maybe once or twice a year I get out here to relax. I discovered I have a need to be out in the woods from time to time though. I used to try to fight it, but now I embrace it.” he said enigmatically.
    “Oh,” Laurie said, embarrassed, “I guess I ruined that for you this time.
