EXCERPT:
“How’s the water?”
“Cold.” She wanted to bond with the guy, not swim with him. Swimming was for her. Alone. She didn’t need to worry about him drowning.
“Cold just like you.”
“Yes, but the water warms up in the sun.” She spun on her heel, then, unable to resist, turned and stuck out her tongue.
“You plan to use that tongue?” he asked, stepping forward with a swagger.
Her jaw dropped. Pushing her shock aside, she strutted back to him, exaggerating her hip sway, certain he noticed.
That’s right. Eat up what you can’t have, honey.
She leaned close and he licked his lips, his chest expanding. She whispered, “I do, but I promise you won’t be so lucky to find it used on you.”
He laughed, a rich, deep sound that reverberated through her, making her want to hear it again and again.
“Don’t make promises you might not be able to keep,” he said, lightly touching her shoulder.
She ignored the shivers and the way her body tightened at his touch. “Then I’ll assume you are going to find a way to up your charm.” She flicked a look over her shoulder as she waltzed away. “Considerably.”
Again, that laugh.
“I’ll do my best, Maya.” He leaned against the doorjamb, sipping his coffee. “I’ll do my best.”
