Stack frowned over her raised
voice. “Calm down.” Her quick glare befuddled him. “Look, all I’m saying is
that you’re shaking. And your arm is burnt and—”
“And you made promises.” While looking at her arm,
she added, “Sexual promises, so don’t even think of dodging out on me.” She
winced when she saw the burn. “Damn it. It wasn’t hurting, but now that you’ve
pointed it out, it is.”
“I wasn’t…” All her attention remained on her arm,
so he gave up trying to explain that he’d only made an attempt at nobility. No
way was he “dodging out,” as she’d accused.
The burn on her arm didn’t look serious. Slightly
bigger than a quarter, it was red, angry, but only slightly blistered. “I can
take care of that for you once we get to your place.”
“What will you do?” She held her arm to her chest
protectively.
Stack felt the crooked grin pulling at his mouth.
The woman would brave a car fire, dismiss any danger, but at the thought of him
patching her up, she grew wary. “I have a first aid kit in the trunk,” he
explained, hoping to soothe her. “We’ll put some ointment on it and wrap it,
that’s all. You can take some ibuprofen for pain.”
Her shoulders relaxed. “Oh, good. Nothing too
awful.”
“Nothing awful at all,” he promised. But the way
she continued to study him prompted him to add, “You know I wouldn’t do
anything to hurt you, right?”
“It’s not that, it’s just…” She looked at her arm
again, then deliberately dismissed it. “Before we do that, I need to shower.”
She licked her lips. “And so do you.”
A hint? “You’re sure you’re okay?”
“Positive.”
Thank God. “Then how about we shower
together?”
As if she’d just been waiting for him to offer,
she smiled. “That would be wonderful, thank you.”
Thanking him? This time Stack couldn’t choke back
the laugh.
“What?”
He shook his head. Telling her she was the first
woman to thank him for sex wouldn’t be a good idea.
She scowled and repeated with more insistence, “What?”
Again he took her hand, then lifted it to his
mouth and kissed her palm. “Like your enthusiasm, that’s all.”
“I am enthusiastic.” She shifted her hand so her
palm cupped his jaw. He’d shaved before the wedding, but now, as her thumb
moved back and forth, he heard the rasp of new whiskers. “It seems like I’ve
been waiting for this forever.”
Yeah, no kidding. “You’re the one who
set the stipulations, darlin’.” Hell, the second she’d propositioned him, he’d
been ready. But she’d spelled out the rules—most importantly that they had to
wait until the night of Cannon’s wedding to seal the deal. Something about her
not wanting to take the chance that they’d get together, hit a snag, and she’d
end up without a date to the wedding after all.
As if she expected him to annoy her right off. As
if having him as an escort to the wedding was more appealing than having sex
with him.
What had burned his ass the most was her assertion
that in the meantime, they should both carry on as usual, dating others,
sleeping around, as if they hadn’t made an intimate deal.
Who did that?
