“You’re on.”
We get out of my truck and walk inside. Ronnie walks a few steps ahead of me so that I can watch her ass again. I know what she’s doing.
And so does she.
When we get close to the door, I take a couple of quick steps, so I can get ahead and open it for her.
Once we are inside, we head for the counter. A couple of kids run by, one of them almost running into Ronnie.
“Damn kids,” she mumbles.
“Don’t like kids?” I ask.
“Nope.”
Well, fuck.

“Okay, let me rephrase that,” Ronnie says without me saying anything about her previous comment. “I don’thatekids. I have three nieces, and I love them all. I just know next to nothing about kids, and they’re kind of weird me out.”
“Fair enough,” I say with a small, uncomfortable laugh.
I knew she was too good to be true.
Maybe I should tell her the truth right now. She’d probably want to call this whole thing off.
Or maybe not.
We’re wanting to keep this whole thing casual afte rall. It’s not like I’m looking for a mother for Colton. I’m perfectly good with having someone to have fun with while he’s with his grandma.
So, does it really matter if I bring it up?
And I’ve tried to bring it up in the past, and she said she didn’t want to hear it.
Fuck it.
I tell the nagging voice in my head to shut the hell up so that we can have a good time.
“You okay?” Ronnie asks due to my sudden silence.
“Yeah.” I smile. “Just getting ready to whoop your ass in laser tag.”
“You talk a big game, sir.”
Wanting to knock her down a couple of pegs, I lean in and whisper, “The only time I want you calling me sir is when you’re naked and on your knees.”
For the briefest of moments, I swear that I see her façade break, but before I can know for sure, she has an idea of her own.
Looking up at me through her thick eyelashes, she says, “If I’m naked and on my knees, my mouth will be a little too full to say anything.”
Okay, well, that backfired.
“You may have to prove that to me later.”
