“You got everything you need, Mouse?” I ask with my arm around the passenger seat headrest. Audrey nods with a vibrant smile. “Yeah, I’m ready.”
She hugs her journal to her chest as she leans in over the center console of my truck, puckering her lips at me. I chuckle and kiss her, tender and sweet. “Go get ’em today. Proud of you,” I beam, giving her one more kiss before unlocking the door.
“Thanks, baby. I’ll see you after?” She grabs the handle and opens the door, her body halfway out. “You got it. I’ll be here,” I reply, giving her ass a love tap as she scoots her way off the seat. She yelps and shuts the door, playfully scolding me with her eyes before blowing me a kiss.
“I love you, baby!” she shouts through my open window.
“I love you more!” I shout back, her giggles floating around me like tiny cupids shooting arrows into my heart. I watch her saunter to the building, giving me a wink before walking inside.
God, just watching her walk away gets me hard. After my surgery, the doctors told me I had to refrain from any strenuousactivities for at least eight weeks. Eight. Fucking. Weeks. Of course, I tried to woo Audrey every night since I came home from the hospital, but she blocked my advances—“Doctor’s orders,”she’d said.
I felt sixteen again, walking around with random boners. Anytime Audrey so much as grazed my arm, I was about ready to blow it in my pants. But with each day, I got stronger. The pain became less and less. And when Audrey is ready, I’ll make love to her until my heart stops. Well, not literally anyway.
I drive through Main Street, parking in front of Vintage Blossom. My phone buzzes in my pocket.
