I realize that I’m buying all of this for a girl that may never actually come back to see me. Why would she after I growled and grunted at her like a beast? Or how awkward I was yesterday afternoon when she went back home?
I can’t seem to stop myself from hoping though. I haven’t thought of anything other than Avery and the sweet lilt to her voice since she closed her door yesterday. Her green eyes and bright red hair flashed across my mind for the rest of the evening, and when I finally went to sleep, I dreamed of her soft curves and smooth skin.
Passing by an aisle with an endcap of those fuzzy socks, I grab a few, tossing them into my cart. I’m crazy, I know, but I can’t help it. Avery’s boots yesterday were worn and didn’t look warm at all. She needs to start taking better care of herself or I’m going to do it for her.
My cock hardens in my jeans, liking the idea of taking care of all of her needs. I want to protect the precious angel, provide everything for her, and make sure she feels nothing but pleasure for the rest of her life. Jesus, I would lick her dripping pussy every morning and fill her with my dick every evening. I smirk to myself, thinking about coming down her chimney for a change.
Shaking my head, I try to think of something else as I wheel my cart up to the front of the store to check out. I don’t want to be a creep on top of being naturally intimidating to everyone around me.
I’ve already got a cart full of Christmas decorations and I nod at the checkout girl as I start to unload everything onto the belt. It’s almost Christmas and I got the last of a lot of their decorations, including a tree.
I hope Avery likes it. If not, I’ll bring her to the store to pick out whatever she wants. How am I already rearranging my life to be everything Avery needs? It’s too fast, but I can’t stop. She’s magnetic. Enchanting. Everything I’ve been missing.
I pay for my things and load everything into the back of my SUV. I’m about to pull out of the lot when I see the sign for the mall.
Should I get Avery a present?
I want to. Maybe some new boots or a warmer winter coat, but will that come off as creepy? I already bought her socks and sweets. I’d buy her the whole damn mall—and could—if she wanted.
I need to get myself under control or I’m going to scare her away.
I pull out of the lot and turn toward home when my phone rings. My brother’s name flashes on the screen and I hit the button on my steering wheel to accept the call.
“Hey, Reese,” I answer.
“Hey, are you busy?”
“No, just heading home from the store.”
“Buying my Christmas present?” he jokes and I can hear the smile in his voice.
“Oh, shoot. I knew that I forgot something,” I say dryly and he laughs.
“Liar. You love me. I bet you got my gift months ago. We both know how you like to plan.”
I don’t say anything because he’s right. I did buy his present back in October and I’ve had it wrapped for the last two months. I may have been out of the business world for years now, but the discipline and planning it took to rise to the top never left me. Control is everything, which means plenty of plans and backup plans if need be.
There’s no plan for Avery, though. I didn’t see her coming until she fell right into my life. Literally.
“Are you at the shop?” I ask, not wanting to dwell on that for too long.
“Yeah. Well, I was, but I’m on my lunch break now, so I’m around the corner at the deli.”
“How’s work?”
“Busy, but that’s good. I’m planning on coming down to your place on Saturday and I’ll spend the night so we can open presents early on Christmas.”
“Sounds good. I already bought food to make dinner and breakfast.”
“Those twice baked potato things?” he asks excitedly and I grin.
“Of course.”
“You’re the best little brother in the whole world.”
“I know,” I say as I turn onto my street.
“Alright, I’m going to grab some food but I’ll text you later.”
