Lily's List
pay for her own lingerie, quite
another for Carson to have bought it.
    The salesclerk stopped folding the pale blue
nightgown. “He said it was a present and if you didn’t buy the set
to wrap it up anyway. Was I wrong to let him pay?”
    “No, that’s fine.” She didn’t want to cause a
scene, but they were definitely going to discuss this later. “I
just wasn’t expecting it.” The woman looked relieved and went back
to work. When everything was bagged, the clerk ran Lily’s credit
card. She signed the slip, tucked her card back in her purse and
grabbed her shopping bag. With a nod of thanks to the woman, she
hurried out to find Carson.
    He was waiting just beyond the entrance for
her, a bag tucked under his arm. “I can’t let you pay for any of
this.” She held up the bag in her hand.
    Carson calmly took the bag from her and
captured her hand. “Why not?”
    “Why not?” she sputtered. “It’s not
right.”
    “Sure it is.” He leaned down to whisper in
her ear, “I like knowing that you’re wearing something I bought for
you. Makes me hot.”
    Lily swallowed hard. She hadn’t thought about
it from that perspective before. Now that she had, she was very
afraid she wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about it. She felt
. . . horny. There was no other way to put it. Her
breasts ached, her core throbbed and she couldn’t think about
anything else but hot, sweaty sex with Carson.
    And the sooner the better.
    Wearing the sexy lingerie he’d bought for her
was foreplay without him having to lay a finger on her. She’d
always known the mind was the biggest erogenous zone, and this only
served to prove it.
    “Hungry?” His low murmur caught her off
guard.
    “What?” Her face heated as she jerked her
head up to look at him. She saw the teasing glint in his eyes. The
devil meant food, not sex. She was making an idiot of herself. She
glanced at her watch and realized it was almost noon. “I could go
for something.”
    He chuckled as they strolled toward the food
court. Two could play that game, she thought as she glanced around
and found what she was looking for. Stalking up to a counter, she
ordered a jumbo hot dog and a soda. She heard Carson groan, but she
ignored him as she paid for her order and thanked the young
attendant at the counter before scooping up her tray. “You not
eating?” she asked innocently.
    “Witch,” he whispered as he settled her at a
table and left to get something for himself.
    Lily contented herself with just sipping her
drink until Carson returned with several slices of pizza. As soon
as he sat, she picked up the long dog and slid it past her lips.
She didn’t chew, but instead pulled it slowly out of her mouth. “I
should add ketchup.”
    Taking her time, she opened several packages
of ketchup and smeared it up and down the length of the wiener.
Carson groaned. “You’re killing me, woman.”
    “Fair is fair.” Picking up the hot dog, she
brought it to her mouth. “After all, you get to know that you
bought the clothes that are touching me in all the right places.”
She stuffed the hot dog into her mouth and bit.
    Carson winced and then chuckled. “Remind me
never to cross you.” Grabbing a slice of pizza, he began to
eat.
    Satisfied, Lily enjoyed the rest of her
lunch. She’d made her point, but it had backfired to a certain
extent. She was even more turned on than she had been already. She
was very aware of the lacy garment cupping her breasts and her
mound. The fact that Carson had bought it for her made her feel
sexy and naughty. They had a secret between them that no one else
around them was aware of.
    They didn’t linger over lunch, but finished
quickly and headed for the truck. By mutual agreement, they decided
to head home. Lily was looking forward to modeling her new clothes
at home and she was certainly keen to be able to cross “striptease”
from her list.
