“Nope, she wanted to be sure you found a car today.Earlier the better, too, because you know, salesmen get pushy toward the end of the day when they’ve not met goal.So we need to get you out there early and if we find you something, Mia and Con can meet us and help with the paperwork.”
Emily was still frowning but she pushed through the front door willingly.“…Ok.”
I was kind of surprised she wasn’t putting up more of a fight but I was good with this scenario.If she refrained from being pissy with me, maybe I could talk her into dinner later tonight.
She had said no every day this week, but surely one of these days she’d succumb to me, right?
Outside, my Emily returned and she stepped away from my hand.Hey, no big, so long as she wasn’t throwing daggers at me.I mean, yeah, I’d rather be touching her, but as long as she was going along with every other part of my plan, I could refrain from touching her for a little longer.
We passed Con’s truck and I have to say, I was impressed to see she parallel parked that beast.It was an F-350 with a SuperCrew cab, so yeah, her parallel parking it?It was impressive.
So much so that maybe my dick was a bit impressed too.
But having a hard-on right now wouldn’t do me any good, so I ignored it as I followed Em to my truck, parked a few spots down from where she parked Conor’s truck.
Now, my truck wasn’t nearly as big and impressive as Conor’s but it was still a big truck.I only had a SuperCab, but I didn’t have carseats and shit to pile in the cab so the half door to the backseats was more than enough for me.
I reached around her to pull the door open, which earned me one of Emily’s signature glares.At this point in the game, I was thinking it was exactly that—a game.I was beginning to think she simplypreferredto be cold and indifferent toward me, so she put on the farce in hopes to steer me away.
I wasn’t going away.
Emily stepped up into my truck and when her ass hit leather, I closed the door on her, rounding the front to get in on the driver’s side.
When I turned the ignition, I looked in her direction to see her staring straight ahead, her hands clasped in her lap, all while nibbling on the corner of her lip.
The movement plumped and pushed her lower lip, and I had to look away.
Goddamn, I didn’t think the girl knew what she actually did to me.
“You have a make in mind?”I asked instead as I pulled away from the curb.
I glanced over at her while I repositioned my body, wrist on the steering wheel and leaning with my arm on top of the center console.
Her eyes glanced at my wrist before meeting mine.I fought against the desire to keep looking at her and turned my attention back to the road.It wasn’t a busy road and it was pretty straight, but it wouldn’t do me any good to injure her in an accident.
“No,” she finally answered.“I figured just one of the larger dealerships would be fine.Just a car with good mileage.”
“There’s nothing you haven’t seen and thought, ‘Hmm, that’s cute’.”The last was said in a high falsetto and hearing her answering laugh made me grin wide.
“I guess maybe the new Fusions.”
I grabbed my chest with the hand not steering the wheel.“A Ford girl.Be still my heart.”
Again, Emily laughed and I had to shift in my seat.My jeans were growing uncomfortably tight.
Emily directing a laugh at me was something I didn’t realize I was missing in life.
“It has nothing to do with Ford, and everything to do with the body style.”
I had a joke on the tip of my tongue about body style but decided to keep it to myself, instead saying, “Alright.Well, to Mikkelson Ford we go.”

By mid-afternoon, I found myself in a white Ford Fusion with all the works.I didn’twantall the works, would have been fine with cloth seats and a regular CD-radio unit, but Rory worked his male magic and I was the proud owner—co-owner—of a car with leather seats, satellite radio, and a rear camera.
At employee family pricing.
I felt pretty guilty about the last point, but Rory assured me that they were ripping me off by the tag price anyway.
