Liability [Simon Ghost Riley]

good girl

"No I don't want you to buy me anything!" she says crossing her arms

"I know you hate letting others care for you, but it makes me feel good to spoil you. After all, you deserve it. Okay?"

"What have I done to deserve it?"

"You love shopping, and I love making you happy. So, yes, I believe you deserve to be spoiled."

"Thats ridiculous Si"

"It's how I feel, and I'm not going to apologize for it" he says chuckling at the frown on her face "Stubbornness is one of your best qualities. And I still find it incredibly sexy"

"You would be the first" she says walking over to the underwear section of Victorias Secret

"I'm definitely not the first man to find you irresistible. But I am willing to bet I'm the first to treat you like the special woman you are. Don't you think that's worth something?"

"It's everything to me" she pauses, "and you are the only one who's ever seen me, given me the time of day"

"I find that hard to believe"

"Believe it" she shrugs

"You're telling me that you've never been in a relationship?" he asks

"I have, in college but he was looking for a hookup not a relationship. Didn't know that until after we had sex. Not that he did anything for me anyway"

"What do you mean?"

"Do I really need to connect the dots?" she murmurs

"Negative. This is the only relationship you've had?" he asks, realizing that she'd never been properly touched.

"You've missed out on that feeling of being desired, of being pampered and treated like royalty. And I can't stand to think of someone as beautiful as you having been neglected like that"

"I survived" she jokes

"You deserve more"

"Thank you Si, now if I let you buy me something will you stop talking about this in public right now?"

He smiled, amused she'd ask such a question. He brushes his fingers against the side of her neck. "Who cares what other people think? I only care about you"

He watches as her cheeks flush and smirks, placing a hand on her lower back as she grabs a few pairs of lace underwear. Trying to move to the register.

The sight of her buying lingerie for him nearly drives him over the edge. His voice is thick with desire as he leans in close, so no one else will hear. She turns to face him and he leans in close, his face just inches from hers. He moves his hand to the back of her neck, his fingers brushing through her hair. His free hand comes up to trace patterns on her cheek."I can't resist making you blush, it's addictive"

"Stop it!"

"Or what love?"

"Or else you won't get to see them on later" she warns, trying to remain tough but failing miserably at the sight of his smile

" Hmm... that's a tough call"

"I'm serious Simon"

"You're in no position to be making demands, sweetheart"

His voice wavers between seductive and playful. "Oh, I absolutely do"

"fine" she shrugs walking up to the register and handing the cashier her items, he pays for them and they leave, as they get into the car, he leans over trying to kiss her. She responds briefly before pulling away and buckling her seatbelt, clearly teasing him. He gently places a hand on her chin and pulls her back. "Don't deny me"
