“I want it.”

“Do you want to know the price?”

“Doesn’t matter. It’s coming home with me.”

“For a special someone in your life?”

“Yes,” I tell her.

She gives me a wink. “I’ll get that wrapped up for you. It’s going to look stunning on you.”

“I’m hoping it doesn’t stay on too long, if you know what I mean,” I say, giving her a wink back.

She chuckles as she moves toward the nightgown and takes it down from the wall. “If the man has any sense and has eyes, it won’t last long, sweetie.”

I am ending the road trip with a souvenir and a new boyfriend. It’s amazing how quickly things change, but I am ready for it, hoping shit won’t go sideways when we get back to reality.

“What are you doing later?”Tate asks as I stop the truck in front of Inked.

“Nothing.”

“Come back here.”

“When?”

“After nine.”

“That’s late.”

“The night is just getting started then, Gramps.”

“Hey now,” I say, reaching out to grab her hand. “I don’t think you were calling me gramps last night.”

She smiles at me as her cheeks pinken. “Is it past your bedtime?”

“No.”

“I want you to meet my cousins. You’re going to love them. We can grab a beer with them, and then maybe…”

“Maybe what?”

She leans across the bench seat and brushes her lips against mine. “Then we’ll see what you deserve.” Her eyes sparkle with so much mischief that my cock is instantly at attention.

“I’ll be here.”

She slides her hand against my legs, nearly touching my dick. “I’m sure you will.” And before I can pull her in and give her a deep kiss, she slides across the seat and climbs out.

“That’s it?” I ask, staring at her in disbelief.

“If you want more, you’ll be here.”

“Don’t worry. I’m coming.”

“If you’re lucky,” she says with a wink before closing the truck door.
