“What did I tell you, Hunter?” Her voice drops to a low growl, almost as if the same gravel crunching beneath our feet has found its way into her throat. She stalks up to me, and with each step she takes, I take one step back until my back is pressed against the exterior of the shop.
“Let’s see. It’s his decision to make and I’m going to support that, but I’m also going to be on your ass like fried rice. Or something like that. Were you not being honest?”
She presses her body against mine, but not in a sexual way. More in a This is the part where you either beg for your life, or you die kind of way. And I want to beg alright. Beg her to throw me down and fuck me right here and now. But first…
I grin and place my hands on her luscious hips. “Easy there, Killer. I was kidding.”
“You’re such an asshole.” But she actually says it with a huge smile, like she can’t help herself. Before she can step back, I wrap my arms around her waist and hug her.
“At least you didn’t punch me. I think that means we’re making progress.”
“Or it means I’m on the job and can’t get physical.”
“I think it means you’re a little fonder of me than you want to admit.”
She snorts, but doesn’t deny it outright, which makes me want to hug her tighter.
So of course I let go.
“Anyway, your brother said he needs more time to think about it, and that’s fine with me. It wouldn’t be in anyone’s best interest to rush him. Now, how about we move on to other concerns. Namely, yours and mine and the fact I owe you something.”
Her brows furrow. “What?” Then her eyes widen when she gets my meaning. She just shakes her head and laughs. “Poor baby. Your pride must be bruised for you to be so focused on that.”
“Baby, you have no idea. Now, you live around here?”
She bites her lip, then finally says, “Above the shop.”
I simply grin.
