John chuckled, realizing she was right. They probably would be tempted to forget their dinner and do other things together if they ate on the couch. Although the thought of her licking dinner off him...
Jeez, John, get a grip, he told himself. He had always had a healthy interest in sex since he was - after all - a guy, but there was just something about Jennifer that seemed to arouse him even more than usual. Maybe it was the whole Nagual sex drive thing she had mentioned. Or maybe it was just her.
Yeah, he was pretty sure it was her.
After grabbing plates, glasses and some bottles of water, he sat down with her at the table and started eating one of his tacos. They really did taste good, especially after the day they'd had.
"My favorite place?" he asked before setting his taco on the plate and taking a drink. "I think it would have to be the riding trail out behind the house where I grew up." He looked over at her and shrugged. "I know it doesn't sound like much, but my mom...she loved horses, so we had a couple while we were growing up. And when I was little, she used to take me riding with her. We used to go up the trail into the woods and just spend hours talking about stuff. Her favorite time of the year was Fall when all the leaves changed."
He hadn't been back there in so long and wasn't sure he ever would, but he gave her a smile before finishing up his taco and starting on the next one. "Kind of funny that both of favorite places have to do with forests."
