Despite the fact that his mom and dad had been sitting next to them, Mac actually caught herself flirting back a couple of times. With his parents out of the house, she suddenly wanted nothing more than to follow him upstairs and have her way with him, right there in his old bedroom.
Instead, she planted her feet and waited for him in the kitchen.
Minutes later, he returned from upstairs holding an extremely worn t-shirt in his hands. He handed it to her “Here you go. There’s a bathroom around the corner on your way to the living room. You can change in there.”
Mac held up the Poison concert t-shirt and grinned. “You’re letting me wear your favorite band’s t-shirt?”
Coop’s lips spread into a wide grin. “Brett Michaels was instrumental, no pun intended, in pumping me up before every high school football game I ever played.”
She looked at the shirt again. “And what…you thought I needed to get pumped up before I help your mom plant flowers?”
Chuckling, that grin turned into a sexy smirk. Flickers of heat ran over her skin when his voice turned low. “I picked this one because, well, I wanted to see you in it.”
Her insides fluttered, but Mac held her reaction in. Shaking her head, she tried to give it back.
“I don’t want to wear this to work in the yard.”
“It’s fine, Mac.” Coop pushed the shirt toward her. “Seriously, this shirt has seen a lot of sweat and dirt. Trust me.”
“I know.”
The space between his dark brows scrunched together. “So what’s the problem? Why don’t you want to wear it?”
“Oh, I want to wear it.” She gave him her best sultry look. “To bed.”
Coop’s pupils dilated, his hard swallow more than a little audible. “I’ll get another shirt.”
Before Mac could tell him she was only kidding—because she was serious about not disrespecting his parents by sleeping with their son in their house—the silly man was spinning around and running back upstairs.
Yes, she’d been teasing, but after seeing his reaction, Mac began to think putting it on later would be the perfect way to torture him. The thought made her smile.
The real reason for their visit to his parents’ place was serious, and they needed to continue working on figuring out who’d sent her those pictures. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t still have a little fun while they were here, right?
