Read an Excerpt
I leaned against the row of green carts and stood on my tippy-toes to get a better look into the store where the cash registers were, searching to see if Derek was there bagging groceries. He wasn’t. Someone cleared their throat behind me and I jumped, startled out of my skin.
“Excuse me.” Some grouchy looking old man said as though my presence annoyed him.
I took a step back to let him pass and then began pulling out the first cart in the row I’d been leaning against without any luck. “Great,” I muttered under my breath.
A familiar low chuckle filled my ears, sending sparks of warmth throughout me. “Need some help?”
I turned and found myself at eye level with Derek’s chin. My eyes slid to his lips. The same lips I had fantasized about kissing numerous times. Swallowing hard, I smacked my palm against the handlebar of the cart I’d been attempting to tug free and smiled. “Hey. Yeah, I could definitely use some help. I can’t get this cart out.”
Derek slid between the cart and me. One of his hands gripped the handlebar tightly, as the other braced firmly against the cart it was jammed into. My entire body heated from the nearness of his presence. His guy scent, I had never been able to distinguish entirely, but had at one point figured out that it must be some type of soap or shampoo, surrounded me and I breathed it in deeply. I loved the way he smelled.
“Sometimes these things just stick and others,” he released his death grip on the handlebar and started tugging and pulling on one of those little baby seat belts until it pushed up through a hole and released the cart I had been trying to get free. “Sometimes, they get stuck on those clasps. Here you go.”
“Ah, I’ll have to remember that for next time.” I said, his scent still lingering in my nose and making the butterflies in my stomach flutter around like crazy.
