“If I was that close to your face, it wouldn’t be your eye I’m aiming for.” Smirky twist of his lips and now she had the image of her lips wrapped around his cock. Ooh, it was too obvious to squirm in the seat, wasn’t it? Yes, too obvious.
He reached into the bag, took the lid off the box inside, and pulled out a matching pink boot to Penny’s.
“What—” she muttered stupidly as he pushed it onto her foot and began lacing it.
“They looked good on you,” he said simply. “And I want you to come out to visit my property. I want you to come out a lot during your few weeks here. Least I could do is buy you the footwear to come walking.”
As he worked on her other foot, she laughed. “No one buys someone shoes to get someone to come over.”
He grinned up at her. Well, at her boobs. “Woman, if you take my attention off your feet, my eyes are going to be glued to your tits. Same level.”
She narrowed her eyes. “Your eyes were glued to my tits even when they’re not at the same level.”
She thought she caught him sneaking a peek at breakfast, but she really wasn’t sure.
“True.” And there was that wicked, sexy grin right over his sexy face.
“It’s really not necessary to buy me—”
“I want to,” he said.
“You probably shouldn’t fall for me,” she teased.
“I can’t make any promises.” This time he grinned and purposely stared at her rack.
She laughed and jutted them out just a little.
Chapter Five
WHAT WAS THIS fluttery, happy feeling inside her?
They poked around in the Levi store, found some in his size. She liked the way he wore his jeans. Not too tight, not too loose. Not saggy. No deliberate holes. No gimmicks. Almost like nothing was going to detract from the beauty of the man himself.
A ring tone assigned to her dad left a sinking sensation in her. It rang loud enough that Isaac raised a brow when she thought about ignoring it.
“I’ll have to take this,” she said. “You going to try anything on?”
“Nope. I’ll go ring up.” He gestured toward the back of the store, so she nodded and headed toward the front doors for some privacy.
She hunched over when she answered the call, speaking low so no one could hear. “Yeah? Dad?”
Her father had no such qualms. His voice rang out, loud and strong in her ear, making her wince at the raised volume. “You haven’t opened up your email.”
“Umm… I’m sorry? Is there something urgent there?”
He sounded like he was grinding his teeth. “I told you I was sending the list of attendees and acceptable topics of discussion for the fundraiser.”
“Well, yes, you did. I didn’t know it was so urgent that I had to look at it within the first twenty-four hours. In any case, I’m busy right now.”
“It’s not urgent but I expected you to at least open it. And what are you so busy with that you couldn’t take a look at email? You know a prime career in politics isn’t a nine to five job.”
“I’m with Penny. We drove down to the outlet mall.”
“I thought you said Penny was moving in with that shifter?”
“Noah. His name is Noah, and she did. That doesn’t mean I stop seeing her, Dad. In fact, I’m staying at her old cabin for the remainder of the lease.”
He gave a long, suffering sigh. “I thought you’d come to your senses with a good night’s sleep, Caitlin. You’re so different from your sister, a good head on your shoulders—”
