The little icon that showed she was writing back fluttered across his screen.

I think freedom is in sight. What did you have in mind? Want me to bring something home so we can stay naked for the remainder of the day?

He crossed his legs at the ankle. Now that was a good idea.

I like how you think. You should check the pharmacy.

Her answer was instantaneous.

Is that right? Do we need enhancements already?

He laughed. Oh, she’d never allow a boring moment in their lives, that was for sure. His fingers flew across the phone.

Izzy, bring that cute butt outside, will ya?

The bell from her door jangled loud enough that he heard it over the din of the busy street. He smiled and shoved his phone back in his front pocket. Christ, she was beautiful. Her dark hair was pulled up in deference to the heat, but little pieces curled around her temples and cheeks. She was wearing one of her dozens of colorful sundresses. This one was a sunny daisy print that tied at her neck, accentuated her curves, and flirted around her knees as she flew out the door.

Sky-high red shoes that somehow didn’t have a heel made her legs look like they went on forever. Some guys didn’t understand a woman’s love for shoes. He did. They wore them to make men insane.

And it worked.

God, it always fucking worked.

She got closer and he saw that she’d slicked on a dark gloss of red on her lips just to kick him fully in the teeth.

She knew what she did to him.

He knew that knowledge would always be his undoing. And he was more than okay with that.

The sway of her hips and the way she threw her shoulders back with each step arrowed right to his cock. Was there anything more amazing than a confident woman? He couldn’t think of a damn thing and lost the ability to put words together as she threw herself into his arms.

Finally he moved. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off the steaming pavement. No words were necessary. Not right then. A street full of people were his witnesses. He kissed her like she was the very air he needed because she was. She was the wild freedom to the cage he’d been living in for so long.

She laughed into his mouth. “You do realize we’re on Main Street, right?”

“Is that where we are?”

She scraped her teeth over her lower lip, her smile lighting up her face. “You’re okay with this?”

“Time to stop hiding, babe. You were right.”

“So, I get to kiss my guy in public now?”

“Definitely.”

“I really like that idea.”

He laced his fingers at the small of her back. “Then get to kissing.”

She tasted like sun tea and happiness. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a few people stop on the street, but for the most part people just didn’t care.

She slipped away from him and peeked into the bed of the truck. “Whatcha got there?”

“A picnic.”

“Oh? Where are we headed?”

“The falls.”
