I smirked, reaching for my package and placed my posy on top. “You take credit, right?”
Floss nodded, her top teeth sinking slowly into her bottom lip that pillowed around the nip.
My pants tightened as I imagined her lips stretched wide around my cock and—
Get your shit together, Cunningham, or Andy’s prediction of spanking will be true in another sense.
Right as he walked me out the door of Ranger HQ, which was conveniently located around the corner. Nothing like having your ass handed to you on day five of employment, with the bonus round of screwing your career to the floor in the process.
I swiped my card, studying Floss Buchanan as she flitted around the desk, repositioning my parcel and Dolly several times. An idea began to form inside my mind—cute and cowardly all at once.Hear me roar.
The machine beeped, letting me know my payment had gone through. Floss pushed my box across the counter, still nibbling on her bottom lip where it turned pinker and pinker.
Sucking in a deep breath, I grabbed my goods and spat out the thought before it had finished forming in full—never a good idea. “How would you like to date a Ranger?”
“Would I what?” Her lip popped free as she stared at me. “Did you just say—” her entire face suffused with a cute flush that did nothing to ease my state of arousal.
I held my box a little lower. “A Ranger has a semi-political position, which makes it being a little different from the position a local cop holds. I need to look like a family man, and I’d love to have someone like you standing beside me at events. What do you say?”
“Say?” her mouth dropped open. “I’d say that’s a pretty sexist and egotistical statement.”
I grinned.Girl’s got balls.I liked that. A lot. “Then you’ll love this. Don’t get attached. It’s a friend offer, not a romantic one.You’re cute as a button, a little different, and well spoken. I’m a guy in a desperate need of...”
“Arm candy? A—” she mumbled something under her breath that sounded a lot likea knee to the groin.
“Never said I was a romantic. And I’m struggling with a lot of things.” Mostly my own ego and where in the hell I sat in my new world at this point.
“I can tell.” Floss narrowed her eyes. “Let me get this right. You want me to be a pretend girlfriend and go to events with you. And...dates? What are the boundaries of this little scam of yours?”
“No scam.” My grin strained at the edges. “Just a desperate man asking—begging?—for help.” I knew my words did not paint me in a solid light, but it was what came out and I was going with it. “Can I bribe you with dinner under the stars? Favorite movie?”
She snorted. “Youaredesperate.”
“Do it.”A high voice hissed from a back room.
I stared behind Floss. “Do you hide your conscience out there?”
She sighed. “Only my boss.” Her lips pursed though her lips curved up at the corners, highlighting high cheekbones as she stared me down. “All right. I’ll do it.”
I could have whooped and done a jig, but I managed to doff my hat and collect my packages. “Thank you, ma’m.”
“Don’t youma’amme,” she warned, her mouth pursed in a cute little rosette. “Do you need my number?”
“I’ll fix that!” the disembodied voice out the back squeaked.
Andy’s wife. Ella.
It had to be.
I grinned, finding Floss’ eyes with mine and holding her there in a silent communication of promises and sweet things. A blush rose in her cheeks, her lips parting on a soft breath.
“Good to meet you, Floss.” I nodded toward the open door of their office room. “Ella.”
Two voices bid me a soft goodbye as I left the florist shop, half happy to have the issue of the much needed wife/girlfriend situation handled according to the world of Andy, and half wondering what the hell I’d just let myself in for.
Both of us.
A message beeped in my pocket on cue—either Andy telling me I'd hashed it up with some appropriate gif, or his wife giving me hell and Floss’ details, assuming the girl agreed to my plan. Which was more of an outline than anything else. I’d managed to get into the Rangers unit after a whole lot of hard work. Surely managing one girl for a short period wouldn’t be that hard.
