I wasn’t good at either, so he had me beat.
“Paying me back is not necessary,” Ram said. “Isn’t that sweater… a bit small?”
Moe looked down at himself. “It doesn’t come in my size, but I like the duckies. It’s yellow and happy and cute.”
“You’re yellow and happy and cute,” I said without thinking, and then cringed. Fuck, that was so stupid and sappy that I should crawl behind a clothing rack and die.
Moe smiled at me, bright and glad. “You look like cotton candy. Sexy cotton candy.”
I grinned at him as my heart swelled. Fucking gross.
Ram groaned and stomped away. I remembered being gross with him years ago—it was so embarrassing, I had lied to Juniper and said I had never been with Ram.
“Bye,” Moe said cheerfully and waved to the other man.
Stepping forward, I placed my hands on Moe’s sweater. “I can resize it for you.”
He pressed his hands to mine, holding my palms against his chest. I felt his heartbeat race under my touch. “You make my insides goosebump. Quack. Quack.”
“Honk,” I corrected. Geese honked.
Moe let go of my hands and stepped away from me.
I frowned. “What?”
“You honked at me, so I’m getting out of the way.”
I studied him for a moment, for signs of a grin or a stifled laugh. No, he was dead serious. I stepped close to him. “Vroom, vroom. I’m driving back.” What the fuck was this spell and this man doing to me?
Moe grinned and opened his arms wide as though for a hug. “I’m a parking spot.”
I chuckled and placed my hands on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me.
I wiggled closer and even though I liked the crop-top look, I muttered a spell to resize his very tiny sweater.
“Your magic tickles,” he said, dropping his head to rest his forehead against mine.
A tremor of pleasure went down my spine. I breathed in his scent, reveling in the feel of his breath on my lips, the sight of his blue eyes so close and so warm like the waters of a tropical beach.
My skin tingled just from being so close to him, and heat throbbed between my legs in a way I hadn’t felt in… well, since I lost the only vibe I ever liked.
“Can I kiss you?” Moe said softly.
My heart flipped over. “You sure? You don’t want to break the mate spell and get to know each other and maybe…” Fall in love the usual way. I couldn’t bring myself to admit out loud that we were in love out of nowhere because of a dumbass spell.
“I have never been more certain of anything… except maybe my childhood dog, Charlie Horse. I was equally sure of him as I am of you.” Moe squeezed me closer against his warm body. “I look forward to falling for you over and over again as I get to know you.”
My eyes prickled—probably dusty in this store; damn people needed to vacuum the floors better.
“You can’t kiss me,” I said, and his expression fell. “Because I’m going to kiss you first.”
He grinned, and I leaned in close, pressing my lips to his.
I had meant to go for a simple, quick kiss, but the moment my mouth touched Moe’s, something broke free inside me like handcuffs being removed.
Heat trailed from my lips, down my neck, and along my spine. It blossomed in my chest and stomach, and its roots delved deep down into my pelvis. My clit gave a little throb, a call for attention.
Moe’s hand pressed against the small of my back as though it was meant to be there. He parted his mouth and groaned as I stroked his tongue and the inside of his lips.
