It was about an hour after they headed into the room that the door opened, and one by one, the men walked out.
And at the sight of him... my mouth watered.
His height. His muscles. His physique. Those eyes.
I stared.
And then, I felt something in my chest squeeze at a mark on his left hand.
But before I could ask him about it, his eyes heated as they took me in, and when he reached me, he asked, “I’m done. Ready to go home?”
I nodded, then looked at the women and said, “It was nice meeting you both.”
They both winked, “Same, girl. Same.”
I took the offered hand and stood up.
Then, hand in hand, we headed to my new Tahoe.
“It really is pretty,” I said.
He chuckled. “I know. Can you run me here when you go to work in the morning?”
I nodded, “Yeah. Why?”
He winked, “‘Cause I’m yours the rest of the day and tonight. I’ll be unavailable until then.”
I smiled.
We climbed into my new SUV, with him at the steering wheel, and we headed to the store.
It was nice being able to have him with me to do this.
And as we walked through the produce section, I looked up at him and whispered, “This is nice.”
He winked, “Then you want it, I’ll come to the store with you from now on.”
I nodded.
“Done.”
I grabbed peppers and strawberries.
Then, through the rest of the store, he pushed the cart and waited patiently.
And when something was on the top shelf, all I had to do was point, and he grabbed it.
Yeah, this was definitely nice.
It was also so nice not to load the car.
“Star Shine, get your ass loaded up.”
I loaded up.
Then we headed home.
I cooked us dinner, and then he looked at me and winked, “Queue it up.”
