It was too early to be a delivery. With a frown, I took my coffee and went to see who was at the door.
I peered through the peephole and saw Duke at the threshold, holding a few brown paper shopping bags.
“Hey,” I said as I opened the door. “What are you doing here? I thought I was supposed to see you later.”
“I came to return this.” He held out my missing cell phone.
“Where did you get that?” I demanded, taking it from him and stepping back so he could come inside.
He didn’t reply. Instead, he walked over to the couch and set the bags down. “Check out what’s in there.”
“Okay,” I said in confusion. I came over to the couch and stared into one of the bags. “Are those—no! They’re not.”
“They are,” he said with a grin, making his dimples pop.
“The leather pants I had my eye on from Leather and Ink?” Even with my employee discount, the pants would have been a stretch since money was tight.
“Yep.”
“You bought them for me? This morning?”
“Yesterday,” he said. “Before Laura closed up shop. That’s not the only thing…”
“You got me the matching leather jacket and—oh, hell no, you didn’t—”
“I did. I so fucking did.”
“The boots?” I breathed. “Duke, the mother-fucking-fuck-me motorcycle boots!”
“Like them?”
“Like them?I love them! I mean, I love them like I’ll get on my knees and thank you later kind of love them.”
He chuckled. “You forgot something.”
“Did I?”
“Yeah, this.” He gently leaned over and kissed my lips, slipping his tongue into my mouth. It was so deep and so good, I spilled my coffee.
“Damn it,” I muttered against him.
He chuckled again and pulled away. “I’ll clean up while you go change. We’re going for a ride.”
“Okay.” I handed him my coffee cup and then grabbed the bags of clothes. “Are you going to tell me how you came to be in possession of my cell phone?”
“I’ll tell you after we get to our destination.”
“Where are we going?” I called out over my shoulder as I headed into the bedroom to change.
“You’ll see.”
I was still caffeine deficient, but the excitement of the new clothes and Duke’s surprise worked like magic. I quickly donned the leather pants, laced up the boots and threw on a lose tank underneath the leather jacket. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail and went out into the living room.
“Am I a ten or what?” I teased, cocking my hip and throwing my hands wide for his inspection.
His gaze slowly dipped down my body and his smile was heated. “Nah, babe. There isn’t even a number for that level of hot.”
“Flattery and showing up unannounced with new clothes will totally get you laid.”
