“How did she get this over?” I murmured.
“A large boat.” A small, middle-aged woman appeared at my side.
“Is it worth it?”
“If your woman here buys it, it will be.” She grinned cheekily.
I smirked. “I’m afraid that’s not happening.”
Silver smacked me gently on the stomach “Hey, why not?”
“It’s not what you want.” I frowned at the piece. “It’s nothing like what you want.”
“I can’t find what I want.”
Aye, which was why I’d finished crafting it for her. It was supposed to be a surprise. “Trust me. You’ll find what you want.”
She narrowed her eyes. “Oh really?”
“Aye, really.”
“What are you up to?” She stepped into me, pressing her body to my side, her breasts pushing against my arm. “Have you done something that might be considered sweet and thoughtful, Ramsay McRae?”
My gaze dropped to her lush mouth. “Me. Never.”
Her breath hitched at the low rumble in my words. A rumble she recognized.
“Are you buying the dresser or not?” the antiques owner asked from my other side.
I almost bared my teeth at the interruption. “Not.”
Silver bit her lip to hide her amusement and leaned past me to answer politely, “That would be no, thank you.”
“Fine.” The woman made a huffing noise before she left us to engage with another customer.
Resting her hand on my chest, leaning deeper into me, Silver asked, “Did you build me a dresser?”
I sighed. “It was supposed to be a surprise.”
Her eyes lit up. “Can I see it?”
“It’s in my workshop.”
“Maybe we should leave early.” She ran her hand down my chest. “So I can see it and then thank you properly.”
My words were hoarse as I fought to control my body responding to her invitation. “Sounds like a plan.”
“How do you want your thanks?”
I narrowed my eyes and dropped my head to murmur the words against her lips. “My cock in your mouth.”
She shuddered, eyes dilating.
“Silver.” I squeezed my eyes closed and stepped back. “Not here, woman.”
Her answering smile was smug. If I stayed in her vicinity right now, I was going to find a quiet spot behind a tent somewhere to fuck her.
“I’ll see you in a few hours.” I walked away abruptly, clicking my tongue for Akiva to follow me.
