Alan was pleased with how things were going.  When he told her what to do, she did as she was told, and he encouraged her obedience with kind words.  When she sat in the chair and he touched her, she didn't pull away.  He got the impression that she was comfortable with him, with complying with his wishes and with physical contact.<br/><br/>"I'll drive us.  I know just the right place for some Thai food."<br/><br/>They left her house and he admired her backside as she locked the door.  He waited until she turned around to walk away from her home when he reached out and took her hand in his, with his hand on top.  He looked at her eyes, gauging her reaction.  He wanted to be clear about his intentions without speaking of them.  This wasn't just her thanking him with dinner.  This was a date.<br/><br/>If she didn't turn around and walk back into her house, he escorted her to his car, a Tesla roadster, a fully electric sports car.<br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ea/Tesla_Model_S_2013_0000.jpg52dfc30f-346a-4263-ad92-67ceec882c1cLarge.jpg)<br/><br/>He walked her to the passenger side.  He pulled out a remote shaped like a car and hit a button.  The door handles were recessed and popped out.  He opened the door for her and sat her inside.<br/><br/>Alan went around the front of the car, not bothering to hide his smile, and got in the driver's side.  He put on his seat belt then looked to her.<br/><br/>"Here, let me do that for you."  He reached past her toward the seat belt, pulled the buckle over her chest, and inserted the metal tab into the slot.  He even adjusted the straps across her lap and chest.  "Safety first.  One summer I worked on a roller coaster checking safety harnesses of riders.  After driving a big, slow truck all day, I like to drive hard and fast.  It's going to be a wild ride for you, Addy."<br/><br/>He winked at her and pulled out of her driveway, then got on the street and headed toward the highway.  "It's just a couple of exits from here."  On the highway, he turned to her and said, "Here we go."  He pressed down on the accelerator and the car sped up fast enough to sink their bodies into the backs of their seats.  Strangely, the engine didn't rev at all.  The car just seemed to take off.<br/><br/>He didn't get too crazy, didn't swerve or change lanes quickly.  He just let her feel the jerk of the car to get her heart rate up and adrenaline pumping.  He turned off the exit.  "Hope that wasn't more than you can handle, Addy."<br/><br/>
