And yet... I didn’t want to give her up. After all, I’d chosen her the minute Ms. May had shown her to me. Peering in closer, my nose nearly pressed against the glass I continued to observe my wife. Mark shifted in the front seat, reminding me that I wasn’t alone. That I couldn’t whip my dick out and beat off to her like I did when I was alone.
As I stared, trying hard to see what my wife was doing, Mark’s words broke through my anxious thoughts. “Should I go in with you, sir?”
I shook my head. “No, stay here. Keep an eye on things…besides the guards seem to make Halo nervous.”
I stepped out of the SUV and crossed the street in a few steps. I could feel Mark’s gaze on me the entire time. Opening the door to the boutique, the bell above gave a jingle as I entered.
My gaze narrowed on Halo whose back was to me as she picked up a silk scarf. I heard her murmur something about the price.
Clearing my throat, I watched as she jumped in surprise. “Find anything nice”
“Oh my God, Ashton…” Halo’s eyes were wide with shock, and she clutched at her throat. “You’ shouldn’t scare people like that.”
I nodded before taking the scarf she was still clutching from her hands. “Sorry.”
Halo seemed to regain her senses. “It’s okay. And to answer your question, I’ve been staring at the prices for twenty minutes. This place is pricey.”
A smirk painted my lips. “You know…I’ve been tracking your credit card expenses for the last few months.”
“Am I…am I spending too much?”
I handed the scarf back to her and watched as she accepted it our fingers quietly brushing. “I’m pretty meticulous about finances. Not because I’m worried about money, but that’s just how my mind works. I have a degree in finance from Yale…”
Halo had started to twist the scarf slightly in her hands and I could tell the second she bit at her lip I was making her nervous.
“I’ll spend less,” she offered.
“Halo that’s the thing, you haven’t bought anything but gas and groceries. If we’re being honest it's unacceptable.”
Her eyes seemed to go wide with shock. “What?”
Looking around I spotted a sales clerk and waved her over. “Halo, you’re going to buy this store out.”
The sales clerk finally sashayed over, a smile painted on her face. “Do you need anything, sir?”
The way her words dripped from her lips screamed seduction. This was a women’s boutique but she hadn’t spared Halo a second glance. My eyes scanned over her name tag. Paylynn. It was an interesting name even by American standards but I assumed she’d scanned the suit I wore and knew that it was high-end.
“Paylynn, I’m a close friend of Mrs. Scarpetta’s,” I turned back to my wife.
“Ah, yes, I was told you were coming in today,” she continued to smile, pushing herself further between Halo and me.
I didn’t like it.
Taking a breath, my smile turned tight. “My wife is the one shopping. Not me.”
The sales clerk smiled even brighter and peered around me. “When will she be joining me.”
Halo cleared her throat then. “I’m here. I’ve been here for over twenty minutes.”
Realization crossed over the woman’s face and she turned redder than a baboon’s ass. She took a breath and turned to Halo, a tight smile on her face.
“I had no idea,” she offered. “Please, let me get you both some champagne while you shop. We just got a new shipment of items in that would look lovely on you.”
We watched as Paylynn scurried off, eager to fetch us champagne before Halo leaned in. Her eyes shined and I found myself stepping back. “I think it’s how I’m dressed.”
My eyes raked over her form. The faded blue jeans she had on weren’t exactly designer but the hugged hugged her hips just right. The old Braves t-shirt was wrinkled and a hole was forming towards the bottom hemline. Halo didn’t look like she’d ever shopped in a fancy boutique but for all I cared, she could have been wearing a brown paper bag. She was effortlessly gorgeous. The way her hair refused to be tamed by the bun and rebellious strands still popped loose and her hazel eyes had me ready to beg to fuck her.
And her mouth.
