Roman’s hand comes to rest on my ass, and he squeezes it lightly.
“Stop ogling my chief of security, Nina,” he says in my ear.
I cock an eyebrow and smile. “Sure, honey.”
We head to the shoe store just next to the boutique, and fifteen minutes later, I am sitting on a chair with at least a dozen boxes scattered on the floor around me. When I see the prices on them, I almost faint and want to go to another store, but Roman doesn’t want to hear it. So here I am, holding a pair of heels that cost a small fortune when I hear Roman approaching. He wheels himself so he’s in front of me and leans in, takes the shoes from my hands, and places them in his lap.
“Left,” he instructs and extends his hand.
I cross my legs and raise my left foot, placing my heel on his palm. He takes a shoe from his lap and, holding my leg around the ankle, slides it onto my foot.
“You have a foot fetish, Roman?”
“No. But it looks like I’m developing one,” he says with his chin tucked and releases my leg. “Right.”
He does the same with each pair, and by the time we’re done, I’m seriously turned on. I had no idea that my feet are an erogenous zone, or maybe it was the way he deliberately caressed the skin around my ankle every single time. I have a feeling that every part of my body would become an erogenous zone if Roman touched it. Of course, I’ll never allow it to come to that.
“We’re taking them all,” he says and motions for Dimitri who is standing by the entrance.
“Are you crazy?” I whisper, making sure Dimitri won’t overhear. “We’ll take only one pair.”
“No.”
“Roman!”
“All of them, Nina. Now, smile.”
“Thank you, honey, I love them!” I beam at him and lean to place a quick kiss on his cheek.
“Dimitri will take you to the art supply shop and then to the car. Wait for me there. I need to drop by another store, and I’ll be there shortly.”
“Oh, that would be perfect. I’m not good at orienting myself in unfamiliar spaces.”
“I know, love. Don’t worry, it happens to everyone.” He places a quick kiss on my lips and turns to leave the store, and I notice Dimitri watching him with confusion on his face.
“He is so sweet, isn’t he?” I smile at Dimitri who just blinks at me. I quickly turn and head out, so he won’t hear me snorting.
