He could envision tugging on that chain

He looked higher to a pale-blue, cotton scoop-necked shirt The Rampant Lion, known also as the Scottish lion, was elittery silver across the front of it and caressed nice-sized breasts His gaze shot up to her face Was she a Scottish lass? Had Celtic roots? Or just liked the shirt?

He liked the shirt Or at least the way the lion dipped and dove over her well-endowed bust

He hadn’t planned on checking to see if she was observing him further once he had settled in line, either At least that was the plan But the line was backed up, and he couldn’t help hih, she was studying hiht in the act Maybe not wanting to show she orried about hiued Just troubled as to what his intentions were toward her
