I flipped the recluse off, while my dad’s back was still to me.
Davis smirked.
“Well, I better get back in. Millie will want to see you, have some tea. Will you come over again, maybe for dessert?” My dad’s gaze bounced to me as if I were the reason they couldn’t go up to his house. Good. I hoped I’d always be the reason they didn’t make that dangerous drive.
Davis seemed to understand and lowered his head. “Sure, of course.”
Slapping Davis on the back, dad crooned. “I’ll have Millie call you.”
Davis nodded, and we both watched as my dad turned back toward the diner. I was turning, about to leave as well, when I felt a firm grip on my elbow, holding me in place.
“Not so fast,” Davis muttered close to my ear.
The closeness did deliciously wrong things to my stomach. I blinked to remain impassive.
“I wanted to bring back an extra purchase that seemed to make its way into my delivery. I checked the receipt and noticed it wasn’t on mine, so it must have been yours.”
Oh shit.
I didn’t want to look, but he pressed the glossy cardboard box into my chest, his fingers wrapped around it, so his knuckles grazed my breasts.
“You might need these if you’re planning to fuck any time soon.”
Heat slammed into my face as I took the box of condoms from him. The way he’d said fuck, the tone of his voice…it grated along my skin, like a rough stone.
“You might want to return those ones, though.” He smirked, and I turned enough to register for the first time that his face was clean shaven, making his firm jaw stand out even more than it did before. His hair seemed shorter, too, and it was styled.
“Why should I return it?” I asked a little breathlessly.
Clicking his tongue, he stepped closer until our bodies were almost aligned, then he whispered, “Because those won’t fit me. You’re going to need the magnum size.”
My gaze hardened, and my jaw locked tight.
“You son of a—”
His hand came up, gripping my jaw, and within seconds we were turning, so my back was against the building and we were out of sight of the diner.
His nose was at my neck, and his hands on my hips.
“Can I kiss you, Rae?” he whispered, moving along my skin.
Shaking my head, my throat bobbed. “No.”
“You don’t seem like the kind of girl who likes to be asked, so I’m just going to do it.”
“Try it and see what happens,” I smiled wickedly.
He stared at me, a tiny smile lifting in the corner of his mouth. “You can’t resist me forever.”
“Watch me.” I glared defiantly, hating that he’d called out something that simmered so close to my core.
His body pressed against mine for a second longer then it vanished. “I think I’ll kiss you when you’re least expecting it. Maybe in church or something.”
“Why bother with this ruse? I overheard you talking that night in the garage. I know my dad asked you to place the order, and I know you think I’m too much work to befriend.” My palms went flat against the brick, so I could somehow find balance.
His stormy glare cut through me, as if I were a cold stick of butter and he was the searing knife, just pulled from the fire.
“You misheard…or at least misunderstood.”
