She giggled and he slid her down his tall, hard body.“Yes, sir.”

“Emm…I take it back—keep this dress on.”

Missy moved over to the pile of things she liked but then Levi scooped them all up.“I’ll have her rehang everything and you can decide,” he said and then stepped out.She folded her things and put them in her bag then wheeled both their bags out to the front of the boutique.

“Miss Shaw, I’ll have everything delivered to your hotel within the hour.”

“Oh, can you add this dress, bra, and these shoes too?But please don’t put them on Rose’s tab.I’ll pay for them now.”

“The bill has been settled,” Levi said and the stylist handed him what looked like a black card and receipt.

“Levi.”But he held up his hand.

“You can’t really deny me buying you a gift when I’m the one who is going to enjoy it the most,” he said.

She sighed and tried not to pay too much attention to the stylist or her assistant who were staring at Levi like he was a rock star and a god combined.

He took his and her bag in one hand and then held out his hand to her.“Thank you, ladies, fantastic selection.We’ll be back next time we’re in town.”

“We will?”she said to him once they moved through the rotating circular door onto the street.

“Hell ya, that store is my new favorite place to go with you.Come on, we need to get to the hotel fast.”

But before she could ask why, they were approached by a young kid.

“Hey, mister, Levi Hart, why’d you leave Atlanta for Tampa?Come on, man.”

“Hey, buddy, it was time for some warmer weather for my old bones,” Levi called but gripped her hand and kept moving.A few more feet and another man recognized him and asked for an autograph and a photo.By the time they got to the hotel he’d stopped at least ten times.

“Sorry about that.I should have put on my hat.”

“I doubt that would have helped—you’re like a giant walking among men.”

His boyish grin lifted higher on one side, and she wanted to pull him down to her height so she could kiss him, but the concierge appeared.

“Mr.Hart, please right this way.Your room is of course ready, just to your specifications.Private elevator and I would be happy to have our courtesy car service available for you anytime you need transportation during your stay.”

The man didn’t even wait to see if Levi acknowledged him and had a bellman taking their bags and preceding them in the elevator.Then the concierge handed Levi two keys.

“Enjoy your stay with us.”

The elevator doors closed silently.

“Wow.”

“This is my favorite hotel chain because they don’t treat us like babies and the beds are huge.”

“Emm-hmm.”Missy didn’t want to think about who he’d spent time with in those huge beds in the past; she was focused on what Levi was about to do to her in this dress.So much so that she could feel the wet heat pool just thinking about him beneath her.

“Hold that thought,” Levi said to her as they entered the hallway and found their door at the end.He tipped the bellman who left their bags just inside the door and then turned to her.

There in the foyer of their room was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror with a small table for their keys.She caught his eyes on her as she moved to the table and placed both her hands on it.Then slowly bent forward.

“You were saying,” she said.

Levi did not miss a beat.He moved behind her without breaking eye contact.One hand reached down to grip her leg, starting at her calf, and he ran his huge, warm rough hand up her skin until it was under her new blue silk dress he’d bought her.Sliding the material up and over her bottom.She knew the moment he realized she’d removed her panties, and it was priceless.

“Oh, baby, I love the way your brilliant mind works.”
