A Night to Remember
Part 98
As Emma's body slowly returned to normal, Dan's hands released their hold, but his eyes never left hers. The intimacy of the moment still lingered in the air, and Emma could feel the flush of her cheeks as she opened her eyes to meet Dan's gaze. A soft smile played on her lips as she took in the look of adoration in his eyes. "You're beautiful," Dan whispered, his voice low and husky, his words sending a shiver down her spine. Emma's smile widened, and she reached out to touch his face, her fingers tracing the curve of his jaw. "You make me feel beautiful," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. The air was still charged with the electricity of their encounter, and Dan knew he had to say something, or risk losing the moment. He took a deep breath and stepped back, his eyes never leaving hers. "Emma, can I ask you something?" he said, his voice a little stronger now. "Anything," she replied, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "I was thinking, now that things are... settling down, I was wondering if you'd like to go on a proper date with me?" Dan asked, his heart pounding in his chest. Emma's eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, she just stared at him. Then, a radiant smile spread across her face, and she nodded enthusiastically. "I'd love to," she said, her voice filled with excitement. Dan's face lit up with a grin, and he let out a whoop of excitement. "Really?" he asked, his eyes shining with happiness. Emma nodded again, her smile still plastered on her face. "Really," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Dan's grin widened, and he reached out to pull her into his arms. "I'll plan something special," he promised, his lips brushing against her ear. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Emma knew that this was just the beginning of something special. And she couldn't wait to see what the future held for them. Dan pulled back, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "How about tomorrow night?" he asked, his voice filled with anticipation. Emma nodded, her mind already racing with possibilities. "Tomorrow night sounds perfect," she replied, her voice filled with a sense of wonder. Dan's grin widened, and he leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips. "I'll pick you up at 7," he promised, his eyes shining with excitement. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Emma knew that tomorrow night was going to be a night to remember.
