Chapter Seven

The next morning, Maggie opened her eyes and saw that she and Kyle were laying on his living room floor with a blanket thrown over them. She stretched with a wince. Man, that was some work out. Each of those aches was well earned and she planned to enjoy the memory of the night before with each and every protest of her muscles.

She sat up slowly and finally noticed that he’d been watching her.

She made a mental shrug. It was too late to be embarrassed now, he’d seen her, had her, in many combinations just a few hours before.

He pulled on a corkscrew curl and let it go as his brother had done.

“Matt was right. That is fun.” He did it a few times more.

She raised an eyebrow at him. “Finished? I need a shower and all of my stuff is at my house.”

“You’re not leaving here. At least not yet. You can wear my shirt with your jeans until you go home to change. I’ll even lend you a pair of my underwear.”

“Which will hang to my knees.” She snorted and then remembered what had happened to her own favorite pairs of underwear and shuddered with revulsion.

“Why the shudder? Do I disgust you?”

“It’s not you. I was just thinking about underwear and then about my underwear that got stolen. And that’s just icky. I feel the need for some retail therapy.”

“Retail therapy?”

She turned to him, eyes widened. “You don’t know what retail therapy is? I thought you were an expert on women?” He threw back his head and laughed. “I thought so until I met you.

Now I think that I was an expert on bimbos and I’m woefully uneducated about real women. So teach me.”

She gave him a smug smile. “Good answer. Anyway, retail therapy is shopping. It’s what some women do as a pick me up when they’re down.

Although in this case, I’m not down in the traditional sense, things are going pretty well for me right at the moment.” She looked at him and fluttered her lashes. “No, I need to exorcise a demon. A nasty perverted rat bastard demon named Alex who came into my house and pawed through my panties and stole every single pair of my favorite ones.”

“Let me do the work I need to, it should take me about an hour and a half or so. Go home, get showered and changed, bring us back some breakfast and coffee and then you and I are going panty shopping.”

“You? A man? Wants to come shopping with a woman? For clothes?”

“Ah, but not for clothes, not for skirts or shoes.” He shuddered. “For lingerie. And that, my love, is a whole different story. Any time you want to shop for silky underwear, I’ll gladly accompany you.” Did I just call her, my love? He thought about it for a second and realized he wasn’t panicked about it the way he would have been if he’d said it to any other woman. Of course, he never had said it to another woman.
