"It matters to me," I said. There were enough problems in my world. I didn't have to addinconsiderate loverto thelist.

She pressed her lips to mine. I could feel her smile. "Matt and Sam are probably waiting for you," shesaid.

"I don't fucking care," I replied, and that was the damn truth. I wasn't concerned with the universe beyond the walls of thisroom.

"You should go," she said, untangling herself from my lap. "I have to finish my shopping, and I imagine you do,too."

"Doesn't mean I want to," I grumbled. I stood, tucking my dick away with great reluctance. I watched as Andy pulled on her clothes and shook out her hair, and then rearranged the hangers. "Get all of them." I moved toward the door but stopped to study the kimono. It was nothing more than shapeless fabric on the hanger but the thought of her nipples pebbled against that sheer black had my cock pulsing with need. "Definitely this one. I want you in thistonight."

Andy flattened her hand between my shoulder blades and pushed me into the hall. "Go," she ordered. "I'll see you athome."

"But thekimono—"

"Go," she repeated,laughing.

I took a step toward the sales floor but then turned back to Andy. Striding toward her, I drove my hands into her hair and brought my lips hers. "Not yet," I said, dragging her lower lip between my teeth. I kissed her again, my eyes fixed on hers, and stroked my thumbs over her delicate cheeks. "Buy that kimono. Finish your shopping. Get your asshome."

Andy nodded, and I stepped back into the hall. There, I found myself watching while Tiel dismissed Sam from a dressing room two doorsdown.

"You heard nothing, saw nothing," I said. "I'll swear to thesame."

Sam stared at the plush rug under his feet, his hands on his hips as he shook his head. "Deal," he said. "Let'sgo."

"What?" Sam snapped when we found Matt on the sidewalk. He was carrying a large gift bag and wagging his finger at us with more glee than a grown man should be able tomuster.

"Look at that sloppy grin on Optimus's face," he replied, pointing at me. "And look at you, Stark. You're saltier than soysauce."

"Your point being?" I asked with an impatient sigh. My dick was still wet and my head was fuzzy, and I had little patience for my brother'sribbing.

"My point," Matt started, gesturing between us again, "is that I would've expected it to be the other wayaround."

I glanced at Sam, looking for some explanation of this bullshit. He shrugged, then pulled his phone from his back pocket. He tapped at the screen, seemingly writing a short novel, before saying, "I have no idea what you're talkingabout."

"The dressing rooms," Matt said atlength.

"What's the next stop on that list of yours?" Sam asked. "Obviously, I struck outhere."

"The pub," I barked. "The only place we're going now is thepub."

"Fuck, yes," Sam murmured. "I need a fuckingdrink."

"Really thought it would be the other way around," Matt said under hisbreath.

"Maybe you should stop," I said. "The fact you're thinking about it at all isunnecessary."

"We should've dragged Riley along," Sam said. "He would've knocked over a table or asked for a demonstration on the proper way to lace acorset."

"That's true," Isaid.

"All right," Matt said. "We'll bring him nexttime."

"We're never doing this again," Sam said. He turned to me. "Right?"

I shrugged. "I could bepersuaded."

Matt pressed his fist to his mouth as he laughed. "Really thought it was going to be the other wayaround."

"Shut the hell up," I said. "Can we go to the pubnow?"
