Chapter 22
The smell of the fresh pages whiffed through Claudia’s nose when they entered the bookstore. It was the biggest bookstore she had ever known. With three flights of stairs, they had every sort of book she could possibly want or need. The last time she was there, she had actually snuck away without Michael and purchased the book about what to expect when she was pregnant without him knowing. He had never questioned how she got it, because the last time they had come together, she had bought so many books.
Hand in hand, Michael led the way to the young adult section. As always, it didn’t matter where they were, he was always guarding her with his arms. It wasn’t as crowded as it was the last time they were there. In fact, it was pretty deserted. They passed by the front desk, smiling back at the lady who had bright eyes for Michael. Yeah…that was irritating, but then again, Claudia was used to it. She couldn’t blame the ladies…he was way too beautiful for their eyes. She didn’t mind it though; he was hers and hers alone.
Slowly pacing down the aisle, Claudia jumped her eyes from cover to cover. Pulling one off the shelf, she read the synopsis of the story, only to put it back down. Then she opened another that caught her eye and skimmed through the pages. “I can really get high on books,” she giggled, shivering from the pleasure they produced from their smell and the possibility of the story she could fall in love with.
“How about this one?” Michael placed a book in front of her view. “The cover looks pretty. The girl is kind of hot.”
“What?” Claudia peered up with a snap.
“Jealous are we? I got your attention, didn’t I? You were kind of paying more attention to the books than me.” Michael gave a wicked grin, carefully shelved the book back into its space, and placed his hands on her waist. Peering down in her eyes, his body pressed into hers. “You’re not looking for a book boyfriend, are ya?” His tone was low and playfully challenging.
“Now who’s the jealous one?” Claudia’s finger traced his lips. Michael slightly turned his head and teasingly licked and nipped her finger. “No, I don’t have a book boyfriend, ‘cause only a real boyfriend could make me do what I just did, Mr. Michael. You made me wet.”
Michael looked at her smugly, fire burning in his eyes. “Hmmm…I like the sound of that. Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Michael?”
Claudia giggled. Her husband was hot all right, and he could make her do just about anything, but she hadn’t meant what he thought she’d meant. Claudia’s eyes fell to her breasts as Michael’s eyes followed. “I meant my milk is leaking.”
“What happened?”
“You kind of made me….” She pulled him closer and whispered a hot breath into his ears. “Excited.”
“I can do that?” The sudden revelation of what he could do created a huge illuminated spark in his eyes.
