“Alright then. You sir have yourself a date.”
He scooped me up.
I squealed.Oh my God, what is he doing?
He laughed and carried me over to his golf cart. Then set me gently down onto the seat.
Oh.He was just being wonderfully gentlemanly.Hmm.Usually whenever he acted like a gentleman he immediately pulled one over on me. There was no way I was going to fall for his games again.
“I should warn you, though,” I said as he drove. “If you ever break a promise to me, I’ll kick you in the nuts so hard that you’ll wish you were never born.” Just because he was suddenly being a gentleman, it didn’t mean I trusted him.
“Seems fair. But I also have a warning for you. Those promises only apply to this date. Because let me be very clear - on our next date, I am going to get you naked. And you may not be ready for it yet, but I saw you on stage. One day soon, you’re going tobegme to spit roast you.”
This Is War - Chapter 34 – Twisted and Jerked
Saturday – September 23, 2023
“Just move that aside,” said Cole as he opened the door of his Ferrari for me.
Yes, he had a Ferrari. And no, I didn’t have any idea how the liftman for the Society was able to afford a Ferrari. I figured they paid well, but notthatwell.
I reached down and pushed a duffel bag off the passenger seat. I hadn’t realized it was open, though. Because as I moved it, a bunch of stuff spilled out - ropes, riding crops, spurs…
“If you don’t mind me asking, why do you have a bag full of BDSM equipment?”
Cole laughed as he slid into the driver's seat. “That’s my rodeo bag, pervert.”
“Oh…”Shit! Is he serious?“Why do you have a rodeo bag?”
“You’ll see.” He winked at me and floored his Ferrari in reverse.
I gulped. This was definitely a mistake. What the hell had I been thinking getting into a car with Cole?! I’d officially lost my mind. “Where are we going? Some sort of weird midnight rodeo?”
“Nope.”
“Then where? I feel like there aren’t many options this late at night. Either you’re going to take me to go get a Frosty at aWendy’s drive-thru, or you’re going to take me to an abandoned shack and cut me up into little bits.”Oh no! Is that what the ropes are for?
Cole hit the gas and we accelerated up a little hill. It almost felt like we were on a rollercoaster. Only instead of being at a theme park, we were in the middle of a deep dark forest. This thing must have had like a million horsepower. #Horsefacts.
“For the record,” I said, “I’d rather go to Wendy’s than be murdered.”
“Well that’s a shame, because you only made me promise that I wouldn’t get you naked or spit roast you. You never said anything about murder.”
“Seriously, where are we going?”
“It’s a surprise.” He turned the wheel and whipped us around a sharp bend in the road.
“What if I don’t like surprises?”
“You’ll like this one. Now sit back and relax. It’ll be about 15 minutes before we get there.”
His tone didn’t leave any room for argument. I was just going to have to trust that he would follow my rules. Hopefully my threat to his testicles would be enough to keep him in line.
I leaned back in the plush racer seat and watched the trees zip by. Then my eyelids started to feel heavy…
“How does that sound?” asked Cole.
“Huh? What?” I mumbled, wiping some drool off my lip.Shit. Did I fall asleep?It had been a long day and I had every right to be super tired, but it still seemed embarrassing to fall asleep 5 minutes into our date. “That sounds great,” I added, pretending like I’d been awake the whole time.
