“Really?Your brother wasn’t treating her like a sister this morning.”
“Hunter?Yeah, that’s a whole complicated thing.Not really sure what’s going on there.I know Street likes him and I’m pretty sure if my brother ever really thought about it, he’d discover that he likes her too.But for now, she’s just Street.Any of us would risk our lives for her, and there aren’t many people I can say that about.”
“She’s lucky to have you guys.And I am too.I promise I won’t be a burden for long.”She hung her bra up over the shower.I was still recuperating from the disappointing morning.I was getting hard just watching her hang her underwear up to dry.Didn’t help that the bottom of her perfect ass poked out from beneath my shirt as she lifted her arms to reach up to the shower curtain bar.
“You’re no burden.I’ll bet you’re not half as expensive to feed as Slade.And it’s kind of nice seeing a lacy bra hanging over the shower rod.”I stepped up behind her and brushed my fingers over the naked skin on her ass.
Her soft gasp bounced off the shower tile.She turned and my arms went around her, but I could tell there was some resistance, as if her body was saying yes and her head was saying no.
I lowered my arms.
She peered up at me with those blue eyes that I already couldn’t stop thinking about.“I’m sorry, Colt, it’s just that—” She looked down at the bruises on her arm.
I pushed up her chin with my fingers.“No apologies.You’ve gone through some shit, and now’s not the time.Not going to lie, I’m disappointed, but I get it.How about I run you to the store and you can pick up some things?It’s going to get old walking around in wet panties all the time.”I stopped and shook my head.“Wow, that didn’t sound right coming out of my mouth at all.”
She laughed and picked up my hand.My knuckles were still swollen from the fight at Bootlegger’s.“I really can’t thank you enough for letting me stay here.”Her voice wavered.
I reached up to her face just as the bathroom door popped open and smacked me on the shoulder.
Amy was standing in the hallway with a giant smile and some clothes.
“Fucking hell, Street, did you wake up this morning and immediately plan out how to annoy the shit out of me today?”
She pushed past me.“Yeah, that’ right, you egotistical butt face, I wake up every morning with your name on my lips.”She made a dramatic show of stretching and yawning.“Oh yay, it’s a new day.I wonder what that dream boat Colt is up to.He’s the center of the fucking universe, after all.”She turned to Jade.“Here, I think these will work for now.”Amy turned around and shooed me out.

Amy’s shirt was exceptionally small across the chest and, without a bra, I ended up walking through the entire store with my arms crossed over my breasts.And without any underwear, her shorts were riding up uncomfortably too.Occasionally, I withdrew one hand from my boobs to pull at the hem of the shorts and wrench them from my crotch.Colt was entertained.
“I’m glad you find this amusing,” I said.“Thank goodness someone was smart enough to invent underwear.”
“Really?I say fuck ‘em.Just one more obstacle, as far as I’m concerned.”
Colt looked completely out of place in the small store, and it seemed not many people were used to seeing him in there.His black t-shirt made his tattoos look particularly menacing as they trailed out along his arms.The overhead lights flickered reflections off his pale eyes and the silver plugs.One particularly frightened woman grabbed her little girl’s hand and pulled her out of the shoe aisle when she saw us come around the corner.Colt didn’t seem to notice or care.
He looked down at my feet.I’d pulled on the boots even though they were still moist.“What size are you?”
“You don’t have to buy me shoes too.The underwear, shorts and shirts are enough.”
“You can’t walk around in those boots all the time.Although, I did have this really great dream last night, and those black boots were an important character.”
I blushed.“Holy shit, if you could earn money flirting you’d be a rich man.”
“See, and I consider myself a rich man just because I’m damn good at flirting.Among other things.”
“I’m not going to argue there.”I hid another blush, while also still trying to hide my very exposed breasts.
“Anything else?”
“I hate to ask for anything more ...but a toothbrush and a few bathroom essentials?”
“That makes sense.You’ll have to excuse me, I’ve never brought home a stray girl before.”
I took hold of his arm.He stared down at my fingers on his arm and then gazed up at me with a look that made me wonder why the hell I’d turned him down earlier.He was something else.
“I’ll pay you back for all this just as soon as I can.Amy is going to introduce me to her boss later this afternoon.”
