“How did the meeting go?”

“It went great,” Jackson said. “I got my account set up and should be able to get my workstation set up soon.”

“That’s awesome. Jackson. Just be sure not to overdo it with your leg. You don’t want to undo all the progress you’ve made so far.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She patted his arm and rose from the sofa. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back down. She stared at him curiously. Suddenly he cleared his throat, looking a bit embarrassed.

“I got you something.”

Her eyes rounded. “You did? Where is it?”

She glanced around the room and he chuckled.

“Since you are not going to be coy about it, here you go.” He pulled out the shopping bag and handed it to her.

“Nope. Not when it comes to presences. Now gimme.” She grabbed the bag with both hands and pulled out the shoe box.

“I know it’s long overdue, but I hope you like them.”

She pulled open the lid and then burst out laughing. Her delight must have been contagious because she found him grinning easily over at her.

“Oh, Jackson. I love them!”

She pulled out the white and blue hightops and held them up. “They look almost exactly like my old pair. Where did you find these?”

“A shoe store.”

She laughed and rolled her eyes. “I figured as much. But you didn’t have to go through the trouble.”

He shrugged. “It wasn’t far from the bank. And I figured since it was long overdue, I’d surprise you.”

“Well, since you put it that way…” She slipped off her shoes and pulled on the stylish sneakers. She stood up to test them out then smiled down at him

They fit perfectly.

Suddenly, she fell back down onto the sofa and gave him a tight hug. “Thanks, Jackson.”

His arm came around her waist and they held each other for a second longer than they should have. Truth breathed in his alluring musk as his nose nestled in her hair. Her nipples tightened and pushed against the soft fabric of her bra.

She knew she should pull away from him, but all she wanted to do was get even closer to him. She wanted to feel the hard planes of his chest pushing against her aching breasts.

But he took that possibility away when he pulled out of her arms. Truth immediately released him and cleared her throat. She avoided meeting his gaze, embarrassed by her unexpected neediness. He was only trying to be nice and here she was ready to jump his bones.

“Uh, I should probably head to the shed and get some work done.”

“Yeah, right. Of course.”

Jackson rose to his feet, and Truth busied herself slipping out of her new shoes and repacking them in the box. When he didn’t immediately start toward the door, she mustered enough courage to glance up at him.

“I was thinking…” He cleared his throat and ran a hand across the back of his neck. “If you’re free this weeked, maybe we can go and check out the fair. I figured it would be nice for us to get out of the house more.
