Oh my God, are all of them this big? Her breathing grew more labored as she took in everything she could on his face. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the wall that was behind them.

"Does that feel good?" Lexi whispered as she squeezed and tugged at the hard form.

"Mmm," Tom let out as his hand rested on her knee.

There was something exhilarating about having this much power over the man beside her. Doing something that rendered him speechless while simultaneously sending waves of pleasure throughout both of their bodies. The chatter of those around only heightened the thrill. Lexi bit her lip when their server approached them. It was way too dark to see what was happening between them, so Lexi continued her massage while squeezing her thighs together.

"Would you like to try a sip before I pour?" the unsuspecting server asked, carrying a bottle of white wine.

Tom gently raised his head, but his eyes only lifted halfway. Lexi smiled politely. "No thank you. We're fine with that."

The server promptly nodded and began serving them each a poured glass. It seemed like the minute stretched on for hours, but Lexi continued to secretly work on Tom anyway. Right after their server walked away, Tom panted in Lexi's ear. "You keep doing that and I'll need a change of pants."

"So, I guess this is a good time to ask you about the case?"

Tom seemed to stifle a smile. "You're naughty."

"And you like it," Lexi whispered before bringing her hand back down to his thigh. The only other night Lexi felt as if she was the queen of seduction was the night she was in the hot tub with Tom. She knew no one else would make her want to have fun, be bold, and simply explore things she'd never done before.

Yet, her plan seemed to backfire when Tom began grazing his hand higher up her knee while keeping his gaze hooded. "How's that plan of yours working out for you?" Tingles erupted along her skin as his hand inched up higher underneath her dress and along her thigh to the center that was already buzzing.

"I-I'm not going to say a word." Lexi took in a sharp breath as Tom's fingers reached the lining of her lacy underwear.

"What's under here? It feels nice."

"It's my red lace cheeky."

"Mmm." Tom began kissing her ear lobe while simultaneously pushing Lexi's underwear to the side to reach her middle. Heat was surging throughout her body and she could almost hear the slickness of Tom against her through the cacophony of voices and ambient music in the restaurant.

Lexi's hand reached back over his hard form and she continued to squeeze and tug with one hand. Tom leaned toward her and his fingers continued to play with the sensitive bud between her legs. Their labored breaths matched and Lexi knew she would be finished if she allowed him to keep going.

New strategy! She quickly undid his belt buckle and unzipped his pants while desperately trying to ignore the waves of pleasure emanating from where Tom's finger was.

"A-are we sure people can't see us?" Tom leaned back in his seat and glanced around. He retreated his hand from Lexi as she maneuvered her hand over his abs.

"We're covered from all angles. Trust me. I want to touch you, Tom."

Tom nodded slowly and without wasting another second, Lexi's hand slipped under his cotton underwear and grasped his hard length. The smoothness surprised her at first and she wondered if she was handling it correctly, but seeing Tom's reaction quickly shook all thoughts. He looked down and his eyes stayed glued to where her hand disappeared in his pants.

Their server brought some appetizers as Lexi continued to render Tom speechless. She made sure to act like everything was fine and glanced at Tom who seemed to try for the same. They could barely even make out their server's facial features in the dim setting so Lexi knew they were in the clear.

Once the server left, Lexi leaned over and moved her lips toward Tom's ear. "Am I doing it right?" she whispered as her hand continued to pump his length. She took in every micro expression that flickered over him. Every move of his lips, eyelids, and brows sealed itself into her memory. His hand gripped her knee and she could tell they were nearing something great.

Tom nodded. "I'm going to come. Grab that napkin and shove it down my pants," he said in a hoarse whisper.

Lexi wasted no time in grabbing the white cloth with her free hand and maneuvering it over him. She leaned in, her hand continuing to work, while she whispered, "I want you to feel how you made me feel the other day. Please come for me."

His forehead dropped against her head and his breathing grew more shallow. He held her knee tight as abrupt shivers began wracking his body. Warm, silky moisture met Lexi's hand and she moved the cloth to catch as much as she could.

"Fuck, Lexi." Tom was trying to catch his breath and gather his bearings as he looked around.

Lexi finished the cleanup and balled up the cloth in her hand. "How did I do?" she asked earnestly, wondering if this was how everything was supposed to go and if he enjoyed it. "Also, I totally meant to be just a tease but I couldn't do it."

"Baby, that was amazing!" His lips gently reached hers and he placed a hand on the side of her face.

After a brief kiss, Lexi smiled widely against him. Her body was on fire and she couldn't believe what they just did. And in a public place no less. Who am I?

After about a moment of more kisses and cuddles, Tom left for a few minutes to use the restroom and clean up, thankfully throwing the used napkin in the trash. When he came back, their main dishes had been presented before them.

"Is everything alright? Did the appetizers not end up being good?" their server asked with concern.

"Oh, sorry! No, we haven't started yet. We were just, um...we'll get started now." Lexi smiled back warmly and the server seemed pleased with her response and turned away.

Lexi's cheeks were still hot as she leaned into Tom's chest and giggled. He placed his arm around her and planted a kiss on the top of her head. "How about this-" Tom started and Lexi's eyes lit up as she turned to look up at him. "I'll tell you what we don't have on the case and I'll give you my personal opinion but you have to do the same."

"Yes! Deal!" Lexi grinned and reached for her glass of wine before taking a sip.

"I'm guessing we're in the same boat as you. We don't have anything. We thought you were our best lead but when it turned out you were just another firm that's looking to solve the case, it brought us back to square one."

"I knew it!"

"As far as my personal opinion on who I think it is..." Tom sat back and a serious expression formed on his face. "I don't have any evidence, but I have a gut feeling that the Dean has something to do with it."

"Dean Kovsky?" Lexi's eyes grew wide.

"Yeah. At the dinner he hosted, he just said some really ominous things when I was talking to him. But, the trouble is, I've checked his records, and even hacked into his personal devices. He's fully clean."

"Hmm. That's weird. Now that you mention it, I was a little creeped out by him at that faculty dinner." Memories of the Dean's dinner came back to Lexi and she pictured him in his pin-striped suit.

"Okay, your turn. Tell me what you got."

Lexi laughed. "We have zero clue who it is. Well, at one point we thought it was Charlotte, but nothing came up."

"Charlotte Coral? From class, Charlotte?" Tom tilted his head.

"Yeah. We had a girl's night and everything, but she really didn't seem to fit the bill."

"Hmm. That's interesting. Looks can be deceiving, though. I wouldn't rule her out completely if I were you," Tom said with a furrow in between his brows, seeming to be deep in thought.

Lexi gasped playfully. "Professor Miller. Are you...are you helping me beat you in this case?"

"It was just this once. Don't get used to it."

"Well, thanks for the tip." She plated herself some food while grinning. "May the best firm win."
