By the time Mia steered the Jeep up his driveway, the squall had passed and sunbeams streaked a cerulean sky. The garage door motored down behind them. Dallas got out and opened her door before he collected the half-dozen bulging plastic sacks from the back seat.

She preceded him into his gleaming oak kitchen with her one small bag. “Wow, I don’t know how you managed to snag so much in fifteen minutes.”

They’d separated at the store’s entrance with an agreement to reconnect there when finished. “The difference between men and women. We infiltrate, acquire the targets, and extract.”

“What on earth did you buy?”

He dumped the sacks on the black granite breakfast bar and started unpacking. “Needed to restock food and ammo.”

She blinked at the multiple cartons of bullets. “Defending the Alamo, are we?”

“The sporting goods department had a two-for-one deal. Can’t be too prepared. And speaking of…” He handed her three of the biggest bags.

Grinning he watched her astonishment as she pulled out what he’d bought her. Four pair of jeans, two black skinny, two blue boot-cut. Six assorted T-shirts. A denim skirt and two blouses. A hoodie the same warm yellow as the spring sunshine. Two packages of socks. And a rainbow assortment of fanciful lingerie. He hadn’t bought nightwear, because he liked knowing she was sleeping in his shirts.

He didn’t want to think about the implications of that too closely.

Mia’s jaw dropped. “Dallas … ? Why?”

“We didn’t make it to your place to pick up the rest of your gear, and all you have are the jeans, T-shirt and sneakers you wore to Vegas, and the brunch outfit.”

“But … you shouldn’t—” Her lower lip wobbled and her voice hitched. “This … this is way too much.”

“Hey, none of that!” Damn, why did women tear up over stuff that was supposed to make them happy? “It’s practical, and everything was on sale. You can’t run around here naked.” He winked at her. “Well, I reckon you could, but it’d be a mite distracting.”

“Well … thank you.” She gulped. Sniffed. “I have to give you props, you are a shopping ninja.” Her smile glinted with the familiar hint of mischief that always delighted him. Setting down the clothing, she reached into her own bag. “The least I can do is repay you by bandaging your hand.”

As amused as he was resigned, he turned one of the two barstools outward and dropped into it. Outsmarted and outmaneuvered by his wife. Again.

She slipped off her raspberry jacket. “You should take off your coat. I don’t want to get salve on the cuff.”

He shrugged out of his blazer, and she took it from him to hang it on the rack beside the back door. “Wow, this is heavy leather.”

“Yep. I like it that way.”

Mia washed her hands, glancing over at his G19 in the shoulder holster. “You want to remove that, too?”

“Nope.”

She wrinkled her nose. “Planning on shooting me?”

He laughed. “Probably the only way to stop you.” He pushed up his sweater sleeves and offered his slightly scalded hand.
