“You never know. So...you go first.”
"Other than your great looks?" I laughed. "Let's see... your voice. It's deep and rich and sounds sexy even when you're a total grump."
He stiffened, his eyes wide. Clearly he hadn't expected me to run my mouth like that. I wasn't even sorry.
"Your turn."
He didn't hesitate. "You're hot as hell. You have a great sense of humor and an enormous capacity for caring."
I stilled. "How do you even know that?"
"Because even though you have to face that moron, you're going to this stupid charity weekend because you want to raise money."
I licked my lips. "It's not the poor children’s fault that my life is so complicated. Oh, I was also very attracted by your tattoo."
"What tattoo?"
I tapped my temple. "The one I'm imagining here."
He smirked. "You spend a lot of time thinking about my body, Reese?"
I swallowed hard, deciding to ignore the question. "In my mind, it's in a super-private spot. That way, no one will be able to check my story."
"What spot?" he asked.
I blushed. "Never mind."
"I’m sure you thought about it in great detail. You’re very thorough.”
I looked out the window, feeling like I was about to spontaneously combust. "On your left ass cheek."
He burst out laughing, the sound filling the car. I glanced at him and started laughing too.
He took one hand from the wheel. Before I realized what he was doing, he undid the button of one of his sleeves, rolling it up before switching hands and unbuttoning the other, then pushing it out of the way. I gasped when he revealed inked forearms.
"I wasn't expecting that."
He grinned. "It’s one of the reasons I always wear long sleeves in meetings."
"You shouldn't hide that ink. It's beautiful."
"Glad you think so. Anyway, you were right with that guess."
"Which one?" I asked.
"A tattoo in a private place."
My jaw dropped, and I swallowed hard. Holy shit. Where else does he have tattoos? I had a sudden urge to map his body—and not just with my gaze. I wanted to touch and kiss and lick.
My imagination going wild, I licked my lips. "So where is it?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"You’re right. I don’t have to know that. Pretty sure it won’t come up."
"It's in a very private spot, but I'll give you a hint. It's not the left ass cheek."
I had never blushed so much in my life. I looked away again, but the air between us was charged.
