His eyes lit up as a grin spread across his face. “No problem, man.”

“Another hundred if you let us sit at the top for a few minutes.”

The kid looked positively overjoyed. “Consider it done.”

Once we were seated inside the car, I reached out and took Allie’s hand.

“You cheated,” she laughed. “You weren’t supposed to flash cash around. Part of the park experience is dealing with the masses.”

I shrugged unapologetically. “Haven’t you heard? Virgins have performance anxiety. Can’t do it in crowds. I’m just saving myself some embarrassment.”

She tossed back her head and laughed, her golden blond hair swaying in the breeze as the ride started to move. She smiled impishly as she returned her attention to me. “I’ll allow it tonight because you’re a virgin, but in the future, you can’t throw money around at the amusement park.”

“I make no promises,” I answered. “Being alone with you is priceless.”

As I spoke, I let go of her hand and wrapped my arm around her shoulders. She let out a soft aww as she leaned in and rested her head on me.

“Did you know that this is the world’s first solar-powered Ferris wheel?” she asked.

I shook my head. “I didn’t.”

“It’s pretty cool when you think about it,” she said. “There are one hundred and sixty thousand LED lights on this bad boy.”

“I believe it. This thing lights up the entire pier.”

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

I held her tighter. “Stunning.”

I was referring to her, but the view was good too. Even though it was night, the day had been clear enough that the miles of California coastline in front of us was a hell of a sight.

After the fourth time around, the ride stopped while we were at the top, just as I’d paid the kid to do. I used that opportunity to kiss my woman. More than a kiss, it was a promise of things to come.

We stayed at the park for another three hours. During that time, we rode the Scrambler, the Pacific Plunge, the West Coaster, and of course, the Ferris wheel a second time. Allie didn’t just take my ride virginity. She also took me to the game area where I had the time of my life, losing a shitload of money. No shit, by the time we left, I was a big fan of carnival games.

Allie insisted on a few last stops before we left the pier. I gladly followed her lead as she steered us first to the Popcornopolis cart, where she got one bag of red velvet popcorn and one of unicorn popcorn. “For later,” she said as we left the cart.

Next, we stopped at Funnel Cakes, where she ordered one plain and one churro style. While she didn’t let me pay for any of it, she did let me carry everything to the car.

I’d never have thought to go to the pier, but I’d had the time of my life with her at my side. I’d thought I was genuinely happy before I met Allie, but with her in my life, everything seemed more vibrant somehow.13VaughnWhether it had been her intention or not, Allie had put me further under her spell in the darkened car on the way home. As soon as we'd pulled out of the parking lot, she'd opened the bag of red velvet popcorn and started to eat it. Her sounds of pleasure were enough to drive me wild, but when she started feeding me the popcorn one piece at a time, I had to force myself not to pull over and fuck her on the side of the road. The little minx knew exactly what she was doing, too.

Each time she fed me a piece, she'd trace my lower lip with her thumb, run her fingers down my neck, or tickle my jawline with her fingers. Those little touches were the equivalent of adding an accelerant to something that was already ablaze. All I could think about was her—touching, tasting, fucking, and claiming her in every way I could. By the time we got home, my cock was so goddamn hard; I could hardly think.

As soon as the car was securely inside the garage, I threw it into park, pressed the button for the garage door to go down, threw off my seat belt, unclicked Allie's, and hauled her into my arms. I kissed her like the desperate man I was, pouring everything I was feeling into it so that she'd know just how much I needed her. Allie moaned as she shifted in her seat so she could wrap her arms around my shoulders, holding on as I plundered her mouth, the flavor from the red velvet popcorn making her taste sweeter than ever. Only when she set her hand on my cock through my jeans did I tear my mouth away. Breath coming in gusts, I cupped her faced in my hands.
