They ended up sitting close together.
Way too close.
He swallowed heavily. Was he going to kiss her?
She waited, but all he did was clear his throat, then stand.
All right . . . she felt the sting of rejection.
Except he didn’t look like he was disgusted by her. More like he needed space to stop himself from kissing her.
“Let’s see if my magic medicine bag has something for a brave Little girl.” He grabbed his bag she practically preened at his words.
“Yay! And you forgot to give me my treat too.”
That was rude.
“Oh, I didn’t forget. You’re not getting your treat. You were naughty.”
She gasped dramatically, placing her hand on her chest. “I was not. I’m never naughty.”
“You were watching a horror movie. You were so scared that you tried to fight me off as I was coming in the door.”
“But I didn’t know that watching a horror movie was against the rules. Therefore I wasn’t actually naughty.”
That was some airtight reasoning.
“That so?” he drawled. “But I do believe I told you to be good. And you could have gotten really hurt when you rushed at me like that. I might have hit you in self-defense.”
Well. Hell.
This called for one thing . . . she let her lower lip drop out in a pout.
“Oh, that’s fucking cute. I love cute things,” he muttered.
She didn’t think she was meant to hear that part, which made her smile. She was so going to get her treat.
“But you’re still not getting your treat.”
“Wow. That’s mean.”
“I wouldn’t push me, Little girl.”
“Okay. But I still get my treasure, right?”
“My magic medicine bag always produces treasure for good Little girls and boys.”
What other Littles was he taking care of? Jealousy hit her hard and fast and she had to breathe through it.
Don’t go getting attached, Greer. He isn’t yours.
Finally, he pulled a treasure chest out of the medicine bag. “Here it is.”
He sat facing her and opened the box. Glitter exploded out of it, coating his face and chest.
Greer burst into giggles. He looked like a giant, sparkly rainbow.
“Shit. How the hell did that happen? It’s like a damn glitter bomb.” His gaze narrowed. “Emme.”
