When we broke from the kiss we were both panting hard. That’s when he got me back for my retreat moments before by mirroring some of my actions.
Bodie planted a quick kiss on the tip of my nose, slapped my ass, and walked toward his dresser. Looking over his shoulder he said, “Better hurry up, we have shopping to do.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Bodie put me at ease without even knowing it and I relaxed as we finished getting ready.
He also had me wishing it was bedtime.

Who knewshopping with a man could be fun?
Going to the mall had only been something I’d done alone or with my girlfriends. While I liked the time I spent with my friends picking out new clothes and such, I didn’t truly love shopping.
But with Bodie, I found myself enjoying it more than ever.
Although, anything I did with the kind, bossy, and extremely handsome man, was fun.
I grabbed hold of his hand and pulled him into another store. Finding the section I was looking for, I stopped and turned to him.
He had a puzzled look on his face. “Who are you shopping for in a sports store?”
“Alley,” I told him.
Now he looked even more confused. “Did Alley join a baseball team or something?”
I giggled and began telling him about the stories that consisted of Alley and her famous bats, along with her offer to come to classes with me to use one of them on Brett after he’d called me a bitch.
When I told Bodie about that, he’d wanted to attend classes as much as Alley, but I said the asshole wasn’t worth it. What I had forgotten to tell him was that Alley wanted to bring along her weapon of choice.
“So help me pick one,” I rushed to say, trying to make sure that Brett was left in the past and didn’t put a damper on the amazing day we were having.
The morning had been a very nice start. After shopping we were still going to dinner and after, well, the thought of the latter portion of the evening had me nervous and aroused.
“If Alley has two bats already, why are you getting her another one?” Bodie asked, drawing me out of my sexy-time thoughts.
“Oh, she has more than two, but sometimes we buy her one for fun and to joke with her. I swear that woman could never have too many bats.” I laughed. “Just don’t ever cross her because she will use them.”
“I’ll make sure to not give her a reason then,” Bodie said, shuddering jokingly, even though I could tell there was some truth to his fake fear. “So, which one do you have your eye on?”
I tapped my chin with my free hand since I was still holding on to Bodie’s with my other. “I think I will go with this glow-in-the dark one. It’s rather cool and if she chases a madman down the street she will at least be able to see where she’s going or where the bat is when it’s time for her to swing.”
Bodie dropped my hand and wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me close. “I don’t think Landon would be very happy if she chased a crazy man down the street, sweetheart.”
Our bodies were smashed together and I could feel his rippling muscles against my frame and the heat he projected seeping into my skin.
It was hard to think when he was so close but I managed to mumble, “I’m sure you’re right, but you never know with Alley.”
“Well, I’ll let her man deal with her. As for you, I’d betterneverhear of you doing something like that or I’ll spank your sweet ass.”
Once again, I should maybe have been mad at him for being so bossy, but instead, I felt that familiar heat spread to the apex of my thighs.
“You sure have a thing about spanking don’t you?” I teased even though I felt my face flush as I said it.
His big palm slipped a little lower to the top of my butt but not too low since we were in a public place. He leaned in to whisper in my ear. “I may just collect this evening on the spankings that are already due.”
I sucked in a big breath of air as he kissed the side of my neck, just under my ear, then leaned back.
