“But?” God, he hoped there was one.
“With you, for some reason, it has an entirely different effect on me.”
Those green flames turned into lust fire, and blood rushed to his cock. His control was hanging on by a thread. Aaron just needed her to give him the go-ahead. “What kind of effect?”
The blush on her cheeks deepened, spreading down to her neck as her eyes dropped to his chest. “I . . . I—” She slammed her mouth closed before taking his hand and dragging him towards the romance section.
What the hell is she doing?
Brynn picked up a book and flipped to the middle, her eyes raking wildly over the text. She turned the page twice before she handed it to him, pointing to a paragraph.
Bethany’s panties were soaked. Ruined, much like her, and all it had taken was for Jamie to look at her like that.
It didn’t hurt that he was shirtless. Those defined abs on display leading to the V that dirty dreams and her wildest fantasies were made of. Bethany’s pussy ached for his cock. And when his deep voice ordered her to get on her knees, she didn’t hesitate.
Aaron looked up from the novel to Brynn. She was biting her lower lip and looking anywhere but at him.
He closed the book and put it back on the shelf, his hand shaking as he tried to rein in his frayed control.
“Come with me.” His voice came out rough, as if he’d swallowed gravel. He took her hand and guided her to the front desk where Troy was waiting. Aaron turned to Brynn. “Grab your coat, sunshine.”
“Why?” she asked.
“Because you’re taking the rest of the afternoon off. Troy can handle the store alone. Can’t you?” His hard gaze turned to the man behind the desk.
Troy opened and closed his mouth, his eyes darting between the two of them. “I—yeah, sure. Are you okay, Brynn?”
Aaron took a deep inhale before letting it out, his patience wearing thin.
Brynn must have sensed his need because she spoke up. “I’m fine, but something important came up. Would you mind?”
“No, not if you’re sure.” Troy turned a wary glance towards Aaron.
Brynn picked up her coat from behind the desk along with her bag. “Thanks.”
Aaron waited for her to get her coat on before he slipped his arm around her and led her towards the door.
Once they were outside, Brynn asked, “Aaron? Where are we going?”
“Home.”
“But . . . don’t you have to work? And why did I need to take the afternoon off? What’s going on?”
He spun around, pulling her into an alley between Shattered Cove Records and a boutique. Her lips parted in a gasp. The fog of their shared breaths mingled between them. Droplets of melting snow dripped from the eaves above, pitter-pattering on the ground. The hum of cars driving by became background noise as the thundering of Aaron’s heart grew louder.
“Are you sure you can handle another one of my truths?”
She swallowed and jerked her head into a nod. “Yes.”
“We’re going home because I can’t wait another second to taste you.” He caressed her face with his hand, his thumb tugging her lip down. “What kind of husband would I be if I didn’t take care of my wife’s needs?”
Her brows scrunched together. “My needs?”
His eyes dipped before they locked on to hers again. “You think I’m going to leave you wet and aching?”
Her gaze flared and her mouth slackened. And fuck him, he couldn’t help imagining how those plump bare lips would look around his cock. But that wasn’t what today was about. His needs would come later. But her pleasure? Damn. He was salivating at the opportunity to bring her to heaven.
“I don’t expect anything in return. But can I take care of you, sunshine?” He held his breath, waiting. Hoping.
After what felt like an eternity, Brynn replied, “Yes.”
That was all he needed to hear before he picked her up and carried her the rest of the way to the car.
