She chuckled. “If that’s what you think I was doing.”
Yeah, that was exactly what he was thinking
of
her doing while she was touching him.
He pulled off the shoes and tucked them into the box trying to control his thoughts.
“I kinda think I need a drink now.” He’d said it louder than he’d meant to and he noticed her smiling and the heat in her cheeks. Maybe he should have kept it to himself.
“I’ll let Susan know all the tuxes have been measured for,” she said turning toward him.
“I was the last one, huh?”
“You were my hold out. I thought I was going to have to come out to your house. This might cause for some kind of celebration.”
Now he could feel the heat rise in his own cheeks. Having his body measured at her store was bad enough. Had she done that in his own house…well, it was better to just stop thinking about it because now, looking at her in her perfect suit the image what they could have done was too vivid.
“Well, I guess we’re done. I should go,” he said after he pulled on his boots.
She looked up at him, those blue eyes burning right into him. The shimmering gloss on her lips only accentuated the fullness of them.
God, what was he thinking?
“Are you still going for that drink?” she asked and he had to think about what he’d said to prompt that.
“Oh, right. The drink. I think I’d better.” Her eyes were still locked on him. “Would you like to join me?”
He watched as she licked her lips, then bit down on the bottom one with her perfectly white teeth. “I thought you’d never ask. Let me get my things.”
His lungs began to burn and he realized again, he was holding his breath as he watched her walk away. What was he doing? Pearl Walker had a certain reputation he remembered. And if he remembered correctly the prim and proper version that just felt him up wasn’t it.
This just might end up being the most interesting night of his life.
