Page 86 of When He Was Mine

I used the credit card he gave me for purchases and went a little overboard. Matthew told me a while back that he wanted silk shirts with French cuffs, and I bought him two. They were soft and I picked them out a powder blue and ivory.

Finley was easy since he’d been talking about tickets to Cygnus. They were sold out and even his contacts couldn’t get him seats. With one phone call, Oliver got him seats on the stage and passes to meet the band after. Finley would be so surprised. I bought Sadie a pair of diamond earrings. She admired mine and I wanted to get her a pair ever since.

My fiancé was harder to buy for. What do you get the man that has almost everything? The lingerie was just one gift I knew he would appreciate. The rest took some thinking. I hoped he would like whatever I bought.

When Oliver finally came home, I was sitting in the tub full of fragrant lime basil bubbles, sipping a glass of chilled white wine. He called for me as he came down the hall to the bedroom.

“In the bathroom.”

He ducked his head in, and I smiled at his handsome face. “You were gone a long time.”

“When did you get home?” he asked.

“About an hour and a half ago. I have a blister from my boots,” I said as I held my foot up for him to see.

“Did you finish shopping?”

I nodded, spreading my arms out on the rim of the tub. “Almost. I used the card.”

Oliver leaned against the doorjamb. “That’s what I gave it to you for.”

“I got Matthew those silk shirts he wanted.”

He smirked. “He is becoming quite the dapper man.”

“He always was so particular.”

Oliver removed his green wool hat, and I sucked in my breath.

“You got your hair cut?”

He ran his hand through his sandy hair. “You like it?”

“It looks good, but the hat flattened it. I thought you wanted me to cut it for you?”

“I was near the salon, so I went in. Alfonso did a good job.”

Oliver had gotten a short fade, and his hair was thick and slicked back in the middle. He looked sexy and I couldn’t wait to see it when it wasn’t disturbed by a hat.

“Yes, he did. Want to join me?”

He nodded. “I think that would be fun. Let me get undressed.”

I held my almost empty wine glass to him. “Can you refill my wine before you come in?”

He entered the bathroom after he shucked off his navy-blue wool pea coat and took the glass I held out to him, gently tugging on my hair so he could give me a kiss. As he walked away, I thought I caught the scent of another woman’s perfume.

It probably was nothing since I was sure he had probably been sandwiched against people all day the way I had. Anyone’s scent could’ve transferred to him. Oliver came back a few minutes later with my wine then removed his clothes.

“Want to move forward?” he asked.

“No. Why don’t you sit in front of me?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Okay, sure.”

He sat on the edge of the tub and slipped in then got between my legs and leaned back against my chest.

“I like this,” I said.
