"I'm not very interesting," she whispers. And then I feel the tip of her tongue touch my thumb.

My cock thumps against my zipper again, acting like the Hulk.

Ah, dammit all to hell. My brothers were right. It is this water. And I need to drink more of it. Alotmore.

The door to the shop opens and Mr. and Mrs. Drew, an elderly couple from the retirement village down the street, wanders in. I reluctantly pull my hand back and stand upright, putting a little distance between us before I do something wildly inappropriate and fuck my little bookworm on the counter. Hm. Maybe one night after the shop is closed….

"Welcome to Gatsby Books!" Scarlett calls out.

"Hurry up and leave," I mumble.

Scarlett hears me and quickly grabs her coffee cup, taking a giant gulp.

"Jeshush Chrish," she says, sticking her tongue out and trying to blow on it. "Thash shot."

"It's coffee, pretty baby."

She gives me a dirty glare.

I hold my hands up, fighting a smile. I can't wait until I'm allowed to kiss the shit out of this girl. Fuck me. That better be soon. This waiting bullshit is already getting old.

"You drank my coffee; therefore, you owe me a favor," I say when she finally stops blowing on her tongue. "That's my price."

"I did not agree to this!"

"You agreed by drinking the coffee."

"Mafia reader," she mouths, pointing at herself.

"I know how often they fuck in those books, Scarlett," I growl, leaning toward the counter and pitching my voice low. "You keep threatening me with a good time, we'll be finding out if we can keep up, pretty baby. Book by book."

The sound that leaves her lips has my body breaking out in a sweat.

"Name your favorite."

"Monster in His Eyes," she blurts.

"Do you have it in stock here?"

"Yes," she whispers.

"Good girl."

She makes that sound again.

I put a little space between us before I launch myself over the counter at her. Jesus. She's got me all twisted up in knots. "What kind of questions was he asking?"

Her brows furrow. "What?"

"The man who left when I came in."

"Oh." She gives her head a tiny shake to clear it. "Um, he said he was new in town. When I told him I was too, he kept asking for recommendations for different things. He was a little odd, so I told him to go to the Chamber of Commerce." She shrugs. "It worked."

I'm not so sure it did, but I don't tell her that.

"What was his name?"

"I don't know. He didn't say."
