My comment about PDA had actually been more of a reminder for me than a request for Leyla. In fact, I was sure that if she’d started any kind of playful banter like we’d had at the bar, my hands would grow minds of their own and figure out a way to touch her. Because my brain said not to let anyone know I had a massive crush on the new yoga teacher.

How could I not? Even as she pranced around the aisles of pink and blue trying to find a gift for Kara, she was gorgeous. And funny. My only option was a brief retreat.

“I’m going to go say hi to Emily. I’ll meet you at the truck.”

“Copy that, your highness.” Leyla spread her white dress and curtsied. Her long, dark locks obstructed the view of her barely there cleavage.

I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked over to the jewelry store Emily managed. She excused herself from a young couple and met me at the end of the counter.

“Hey. I heard Kara had the babies. You shopping? I thought you were giving her a desk?” Emily’s warm smile was a welcome sight. I knew how much it had sucked for her to betray Holly, and I appreciated her friendship.

“I am. I had to bring Leyla. She can’t drive.”

“Oh. Right.” Emily peered across the mall then smiled at me. “Hey. We’re all doing happy hour at the pier. You should come.” She placed her hand on my forearm, and I stiffened.

While the offer was nice, I had other plans. Plans that involved getting laid by the ding-dong brunette who had just passed by with a wave and smile.

“I think I’m just going to hang at home tonight. I’m not really ready to face all the questions and Holly comments.”

“Oh my gosh. I’m sorry. I’m so insensitive. I can come over if you want.”

“Nooo…” Oops. That was a little too quick. “I mean, I don’t feel like being social at all.” I drew my arm back. “I ran into Leslie earlier and…well.” I shook my head. “She kinda hit on me.”

Emily smoothed the jacket of her navy dress suit. “Too soon. I get it. But you can’t stay a hermit forever. Next week?”

“Sure.” I grinned, said goodbye, and went out to the parking lot.

Leyla was bent over next to my truck and picking up something from the ground.

“You ready?”

She started and stood. “Bah! You scared the shit out of me. Look! A penny! My lucky day.”

The meaning was not lost on me. Because I was sure it was going to be my lucky night. With her. Well, I hoped anyway—there was still the obstacle of my dick.

“Get in, Shorty.”

She flashed her eyes. “So bossy. I love it.”

I hit the unlock button on my key fob and rolled my eyes as I cornered around the truck. After I was buckled and about ready to crank the engine, my phone rang.

I fetched it out of my pocket and swiped a finger across the screen.
