“Wanting can wait.”
“What if I’m tired of waiting?”
“Then you learn patience.”
“You’re enjoying this authority.”

“Current employer.”
“Only when you return to work.”
“I will.”
His expression became serious.
“When you’re ready.”
“I know what I’m doing.”
“I know.”
“I remembered the workbench.”
“I know.”
“I can help downstairs.”
“You can.”
“Then let me.”
“Not today.”
I glared at him.
Reid smiled.
“Your seduction technique requires work.”
“You kissed me.”
“Temporary lapse.”
“More than once.”
“Three times.”
“Who is counting?”
“I have been deprived.”
The humor disappeared from his face as soon as the words escaped.
“I shouldn’t have said that.”
