Smiling, Jennifer sprayed a small amount on a white card and waved it in the air before handing it to London. Bringing it to his nose, he inhaled and closed his eyes.
“Is this what you wear?” he asked.
“It is. I discovered it in college and fell in love with it. I’m so glad we found it here. I’m a little low, and would hate it if I ran out.”
London turned to Jennifer. “We’ll take it.”
“Yes, sir.”
Reaching into her shoulder bag, she took out her wallet.
“That’ll be ninety-eight dollars even,” Jennifer announced, placing the perfume into a fancy little bag with a cloth handle.
Alana went to hand over her credit card, but London beat her to it.
“I got this.”
“No way,” Alana exclaimed. He had already spent a small fortune on his shirt and tie, their breakfast, and her books.
“I insist. Please, Jennifer, put her purchase on my card.”
“London—”
“It’s final.” Pulling her close, he wrapped his arm around her waist while Jennifer turned to the register and finished the transition. “It’s not much, and I want to buy it.”
“London—”
He placed a finger over her lips to silence her.
“Let me do this for you,” he murmured.
Everything else ceased to exist in that moment. All Alana could think about was London. He wasn’t playing fair. The deepening of his voice, the feel of his hard muscles against her… it was scrambling her brain, and he knew it.
“Think of it as a neighborly gesture.”
Neighborly gesture, my ass.
An hour ago, he had practically devoured her with only a kiss.
There was nothing friendly about what was happening between them.
She was in a world of trouble.
Just like that, he had her eating out of the palm of his hand.
“This was nice,” Alana said, leaning against the door to her apartment.
She couldn’t remember the last time she had spent a day with a member of the opposite sex. Danny didn’t believe in shopping. Any new clothes he needed were ordered online from the same store. Presents for her consisted of tickets to Comic-Cons. Sure, he would purchase the flights and hotels, but that wasn’t really what she considered a gift.
Once in a while, she wanted little trinkets or thoughtful presents. Just because she was nerdy, didn’t mean she wasn’t a woman.
Looking at London, she bit her lip.
In two days, she’d gathered that he was a Southern gentleman when he wanted to be, doing well financially, owned his own business, and was close with his family. It also didn’t hurt that he was drop dead gorgeous, had a body like a god, and his kisses… She grew hot just thinking of the one they had shared.
She wanted more like that.
“This was fun. It’s crazy to think I’ve been living here for months and never just walked around the neighborhood.”
