“Beck…” She sounded a little breathless as she dropped her lashes, then frowned. “Where is Seth?”
“He’ll be back. Say yes…” Beck distracted her from asking more questions by slanting his lips over hers.
As he teased the seam of her mouth, Heavenly opened for him and he plunged in, reacquainting himself with every slick, smooth dip and tempting crevice. She felt like home. He dove deeper, lured her closer. She trembled against him. As his cock strained and thickened, he fought the urge to push Heavenly against the nearest wall and fill her with every desperate inch.
“Are you two…um, finding everything you need?” the sales associate asked.
Heavenly hid her embarrassment as she tried on the stilettos in her size. They fit perfectly, and her little sashay across the store had Beck mentally stripping every stitch—except the shoes—from her body and tying her ankles to his bed. He didn’t hesitate to insist they’d take both the shoes and the purse.
As the clerk disappeared to ring up their purchases, Seth strolled in, carrying a small blue bag emblazoned with tiffany & company. He darted a sharp glance between him and Heavenly, then a slow smile spread across his face. “Your lips look pink and swollen, angel. Did you and Beck fool around while I was gone?”
There wasn’t an ounce of jealousy in the other man’s tone.
Heavenly bowed her head with a little grin. Her innate submissiveness was a punch to the gut. They’d been embroiled in so much chaos that he and Seth hadn’t had time to tap into that or show Heavenly what they could truly do for her.
“Not enough for me to really be smiling. But I’m still hoping for a nooner.” Beck winked.
Heavenly rolled her eyes, turning even rosier, as the salesclerk briefly returned and took his credit card.
“You didn’t have to buy me anything,” their girl insisted.
Beck wrapped an arm around her. “I want to spoil you. And by the looks of what’s in Seth’s hand, he does, too.”
She turned and studied the bag, her eyes going wide. “That’s for me?”
“Of course.” Seth reached inside and lifted out a small box that matched the color of the bag, wrapped in a white bow. “Whatever happens, I want you to wear this always and remember us.”
“Seth…”
“Go on. Open it,” the PI encouraged.
Beck peered over Heavenly’s shoulder. With trembling fingers, she loosened the bow and lifted the lid with a gasp.
“Oh, my goodness.” She traced a fingertip over a trio of twinkling diamonds in the center of a rose-gold heart-shaped pendant. “It’s…beautiful. I love it.”
Clutching the box, Heavenly jumped into his arms and wrapped hers around his neck, murmuring her thanks. He dipped his head and took her lips. Beck had to give the man props for being clever. Every time Heavenly looked at those three embedded gems, she would surely think of them.
When the PI reluctantly ended the kiss, she turned to Beck. “Thank you both so much. You’re always so thoughtful. And you’re going to make me cry.”
He slanted his mouth over hers for a slow kiss so potent it fired his veins. Even if he lived a million lifetimes, he’d never get his fill of this woman.
He was still brushing his lips over hers while Seth laid the necklace around her neck. Then the sales associate returned with his purchases tucked neatly into a thick, branded bag. After he signed, the curious clerk handed back his credit card.
As the three left the store, he memorized Heavenly’s happy grin…in case he never saw her again.
Fuck no. Today wouldn’t be the last time he held her. He’d move heaven and earth to make damn sure of that.
“Do you know where I can find the restroom?” she asked.
“Over there.” Beck guided her down the ostentatious walkway, reluctantly releasing her when they reached the ladies’ room. “We’ll wait here.”
When she disappeared inside, the hairs on the back of Beck’s neck stood on end again. Frowning, he scanned the milling shoppers and tried to ignore the nagging in his gut.
“What’s wrong?” Seth frowned. “That’s the second time today you’ve looked around like something’s up.”
“I have this weird feeling we’re being watched.”
“I’m sure we are.” Seth chuckled. “We can’t keep our hands off our girl.”
