Rydin stood and pulled Valia with him. Feeling more invigorated than she’d ever felt before, she stretched and did a little twirl. “Where we goin’?” “I’m going to show you something.” He pulled on a pair of sweats that hugged his rock-hard ass and a tight t-shirt that stuck to every contour of his muscled chest and abs. He stopped her when she bent to grab his tank top from the floor and inclined his head toward the shopping bag. “Put that on.” She propped her hands on her hips. “A bag? Really? So not funny.” He released an exasperated sigh. “Look inside.” What? He’d bought her something? Valia’s excitement rose as she flounced to the bag and dug into it pulling out a beautiful, silky light-green nightie. She turned back to face him. “Why?” she asked, confused. “Do you like it?” She quickly drew it over her head and let the silken fabric caress her body as it slipped down to cover her. It was a very good fit. Her heart did a little flip-floppy thing at his unexpected gesture and at the approval that shone on his face and his aura.
