He hopped out and rushed around to open my door. “Something else I learned along the way.”
“Yeah...you were horrible about chivalry.”
He took my hand and helped me out of the jeep. “I’m a better man. Traveling the world opens your mind more. It’s a man’s way of showing he honors and respects his woman.”
I complimented, “Thank you to Tatianna or whatever woman taught you that.”
“It wasn’t a woman.” Before I could ask who, Grey hugged me once I climbed out of the car and whispered, “Had to do this out here so I can respect your wishes once you come...enter my house.” He corrected himself with a sly grin, and I pinched his stomach, which was hard with the lack of extra skin. Grey lifted his shirt to rub the area that I pinched, his toned abs visible.
“Quit it, or we’ll talk in this fucking jeep.” I threatened. Damn...damn...I wanted to kiss him there.
Grey held his hands up, and the laugh lines appeared around his eyes. “Promise I won't touch you again.” He uttered something under his breath that probably contradicted what he just said.
I looked up into the bright sky, throwing another silent prayer to keep me sane and faithful as I followed him inside his home.
