He released Lea’s hand to rest his on his lean hips and study the menu. “I’ll give you two a minute,” the young woman said and stepped over to help the little girl standing beside Lea.
Colin leaned over. “Vanilla with peanuts?”
Lea decided she wanted something different. She realized new things could be exciting. “No, I think I want a root beer float.”
Colin laughed, running his hand over his shirtless torso. “Wow, you’re really going out on a limb.” He cradled her cheek and pressed a kiss on her lips. She whimpered when Colin slid his tongue past her teeth. “You taste good, baby, like sweet tea.”
“Are you guys ready?” When they looked toward the counter, not only was the one girl standing there, but two more had appeared. Apparently, Colin’s body was audience worthy.
All three giggled when Colin rested his palms on the counter. “We’ll have a medium root beer float, a small vanilla cone, and a large chocolate thunder brownie milkshake.”
Where in the hell he stored the calories was beyond her. Two of the girls scampered over to the ice cream machine where Lea heard the thinner girl say, “See, I told you. If a guy who looks like that can like a woman with meat on her bones then Travis can like you, too. Not all guys like sticks and bones, Jessica.”
When Lea caught sight of the young woman with said meat on her bones, she grinned from ear to ear. “What are you smiling about?”
“Nothing, I’m just happy.” She wrapped her arm around the back of his waist and played with the loose edge of his shorts. The way his pants always hung low on his hips made her want to get on her knees and worship his cock. Damn, no man had ever gotten to her like this.
“Well,” he said running his fingers through her ponytail. “I’m happy, too.”
The three girls appeared at the counter again, smiles and giggles intact, and handed over their treats. As they turned to walk away, Colin looked over his shoulder at the full-figured girl and winked. Lea could’ve kissed him all over for it, but instead gave him a hard time. “Geeze...flirt much?”
He opened the truck door on her side. “What? She flirted first.” He shut the door then went around to help Charlie into the cab. “Besides, she had a nice figure.” A mischievous grin parted his lips. “Men appreciate a woman with a nice rack.”
“Colin!”
The truck hummed to life as he took a sip from the milkshake, “Don’t act like girls don’t check out a guy’s shorts. I thought Rachel was going to crawl over that damn bike at the gym. I was trying to get you turned on and she ogled me instead.”
Lea rolled her eyes and let Charlie take another lick from the cone. “I was turned on!”
Colin smirked. “So was she.”
Lea laughed, knowing the truth. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
“Bottom line,” he said while watching the road. “You’re all I want and I love looking at your body.”
“You do realize I turn forty in six months, right? I may not be insecure, but I’m realistic. I’m not twenty-one anymore.”
Colin didn’t flinch. “No, you’re not, and I love how your breasts fill my entire hand when I squeeze them and how your hips fit perfectly against me when I’m fucking you. Does that convince you I don’t give a shit that you’re not twenty-one?”
Lea wasn’t sure how to feel about the way he looked at her. He wasn’t upset, but the tone of his voice let her know he wasn’t playing around. He liked her body. The fact she’d earned her curves and shape over time appealed to him. He wasn’t shy about telling her anything anymore and apparently from the way she’d told him she loved him, she wasn’t afraid either.

“Give it to me, Colin!”
Colin kept the spatula raised above his head. “What are you going to do if I don’t give it back?” She went up on her tiptoes then smacked his stomach. The tap felt like a wisp to him, but from the way she shook her hand, it’d been a sting to her. “Oh, now she’s getting violent. I told you to go relax and I’d finish dinner.” When she swung again, he dodged her fist and laughed. “Ma’am, it’s a serious offense to strike an officer. I think I’m going to have to take you downtown.”
“Colin! Fine!” She whipped around to head to the counter. “I’ll just get—”
The way her ass swayed toward the utensil drawer made his dick jump to attention. “Hey, what’s wrong? Talk to me.”
She snapped up straight with a wooden spoon in her hand. “Just because you have your uniform on doesn’t give you the right to mess with me. I’m tired, Colin, and you—”
