"Twenty questions, but I get to go first," she says.
"That’s a little risky, isn’t it?" I chance a quick look in Dawn’s direction. She has her legs stretched out and her arm resting on the ledge of the window and has an expression that can only be described as pure glee. She’s loving every minute of teasing me. I’m loving it too.
"Why?"
"Because you could use up all your questions and I might have more interesting ones to ask." I raise my eyebrows in challenge.
"Doubtful," she says. "Anyway, I don’t believe in regrets."
I nod, agreeing with her way of thinking wholeheartedly. Living in the past doesn’t help anyone.
"Okay. I guess you should go first, but maybe we should cut it down to ten questions or we’ll run out of time for me to take a turn."
"Ooohh, ten questions. This just got harder."
"Yep. You have to make the most of each one."
"Okay…what things in your life bring you the greatest pleasure?"
Now that’s a great question to start with. "Sex. Food. Sex. Running. Sex. Friends and family. Sex."
"Nice to see you have your priorities in order," Dawn laughs. "What are you most scared of?"
"That’s easy. Not finding love that’s peaceful." I turn and find Dawn staring at my profile. Our eyes meet and a flicker of something in her gaze sets my heart beating faster. "Or something bad happening to my family or friends. I’d rather it happened to me than to have to watch someone I love suffer."
She nods, and for the split second I can keep my eyes from the road, I’m sure her eyes well with tears before she blinks them away.
"Favorite sexual position?"
I laugh through my nose because this is the one, I was convinced she’d ask first. "My favorite sexual position is my face between a woman’s legs." I wait for Dawn to question the truth of my statement, but she doesn’t. She shouldn’t. There isn’t a thing that gives me the ultimate buzz more than tasting a woman between her thighs and feeling her pleasure burst across my tongue. Dawn shifts her legs, and I like the idea that she might be getting horny a little too much.
"Favorite ice cream?" she says.
"All ice cream."
"Favorite place?"
"Here," I say. "Byron Bay, Cloud 9, with my mates. The only thing that could make it better would be a woman who’d keep her legs open for me whenever I want to play."
"You want a woman just waiting around with her legs spread open?" A quick glance reveals that she has one eyebrow adorably quirked.
"Well, I mean, maybe not all day."
"That’s good of you…to let the poor thing get up and stretch her legs."
"She can stretch her legs while she’s lying down," I say seriously, fighting the urge to laugh.
"I’m only five questions in and I’m scared about where this might go next."
"Don’t be scared," I say. "I’m a pussycat who loves pussy."
"Cooper!" she swats me on my upper arm with fake disgust.
"For someone who doesn’t seem to have many sexual inhibitions, you’re great at pretending to be outraged by my sex-talk."
"I’m not outraged," she says. "I’m intrigued."
"My work here is done." I say. "And you still have five questions."
"Favorite song?"
"That’s a tough one," I say. "Who has just one?"
"Okay. A song that you like."
I shrug, trying to mentally sort through my record collection. "Borderline by Tame Impala. It’s got a line ‘caught between the tides of pain and rapture.’ It’s the perfect description of most relationships."
"Most relationships that don’t involve peaceful love," she says.
"Exactly."
"I’ll have to look that one up."
"You should. Is it my turn yet?"
"Nope. I still have four to go. If you could go anywhere, where would it be?"
"Too X-rated for me to say right now."
"Oh please. You think you can shock me?"
"Between your sweet thighs, baby," I say in utter seriousness. There are many, many amazing places to see in the world. I’ve traveled and seen a fair few, but nowhere appeals as much as the woman sitting right next to me.
"Wow…now that is a shock, but not for the X-rated reason."
"For what reason?"
"Because it’s a big wide world with over seven billion people in it. I can’t believe that what I’ve got between my thighs exceeds everywhere else in the world."
"Right now it’s a toss-up between the wholesaler and pulling you into my lap."
"Oh…I see. Forget the rest of the world. My pussy’s only competition is the wholesaler."
We both burst out laughing right as I pull up at a red light. "In all seriousness," I say, turning to give Dawn my full attention. "I’d love to wake up to the crack of Dawn."
It takes a couple of seconds for her to register my joke before she splutters and buries her face in her hands. "Cooper, Cooper, Cooper." Her head shakes and I bite my lip at my own hilariousness.
