Remembering what her true mission was supposed to be, she tucked her Ace Agency ID and pepper spray into her red canvas shoulder bag. Not that she would need to protect herself as long as Rob was around. She knew he’d take care of her.
Rob. Kitt twisted the ring on her finger. Lionel’s ring. Rob was the reason she’d refused to commit to him and she hadn’t even dreamed they’d ever meet again. Now that they had… Ohmigod, she’d forgotten. Lionel was coming. She had to stop him somehow.
He called the circlet she wore a pre-engagement ring and now that she and Rob were together—sort of together—Lionel’s appearance could ruin everything.
Kitt was waiting on the porch when Rob arrived. He was impressed that she was so eager. Before he could get out of the car, she strode down the front sidewalk.
“You’re right on time,” she said as she opened the door.
“I aim to please. Damn, you look hot.” Rob rubbed her leg as she fastened her seat belt. “Sexy!”
“Thanks. How was your evening at Gaylord Palms?”
Her words were clipped and he knew right off she was pissed, but he didn’t want to acknowledge it. “Is that any way to greet your long lost love?”
Chuckling, he slid his hand higher and leaned close. “A kiss would be nicer.”
She took a deep breath but she didn’t move her face towards his.
He pulled his Vette out from the kerb, listening to the purr of its engine which never failed to delight him. He didn’t see any reason for her to be mad, but she faced straight ahead, her back as stiff as a ramrod.
“Last night was nothing special,” Rob said casually. “I just hung out by myself while my friend had a business dinner.”
“You said ‘he and she’ or ‘she and he’. Which was it?”
“What’s that supposed to mean? They’re both the same. What’s up with you?”
“You know what I’m asking, Rob Harrison. Was your friend the man or the woman?”
She was jealous. Rob broke up.
She smacked him on the arm. “Stop laughing.”
“You are so jealous, it’s unbelievable. And after all these years.” He trailed his fingers up her leg, hoping to lighten her mood. “I like it that you care, but you don’t need to worry. I took a lady to meet a gentleman for a business dinner. And she is just a friend.”
“Why did she need you? Doesn’t she drive?”
Rob braked and swung sharply into the parking lot next to The Silver Spoon. “Almost missed it with the interrogation light shining in my eyes,” he said, sniggering. “The babes all need me, Kitten.”
She swung open her door as soon as the car was completely stopped. “I asked a simple question. For once, give a straight answer.”
Kitt flounced off ahead but Rob managed to reach the entrance first. ”No,” he said. “She doesn’t drive.” It wasn’t much of a lie. She had him take her almost everywhere. Not that she couldn’t drive herself.
Taking Kitt’s arm, he led her inside. He loved her wanting him for herself. “I’m staking my claim on you before another man does,” he said.
Drawing her close to his side, he rubbed a finger against the soft swell of the breast that pressed into his ribs. “Mm,” he said. “That feels nice. I’ll bet…” He pulled the neckline of her tank top out and peered inside at the two delectable globes. “I was right. They look good too. Good enough to taste.”
“Rob, this is no place to make me horny,” she protested, looking around.
“But it’s working, isn’t it, sweetheart? I’ll bet if I felt between your legs—”
“Stop talking that way. You’re right. I’m wet. But people can see us.”
“We could go someplace where they can’t. Black lace means you had something in mind. You wanted to see the place. Look around. Then we can leave. I want to see how those feel and taste.”
“We could at least have a drink.”
“You drive a hard bargain, lady.” Sighing he led her towards a cosy corner booth. The Silver Spoon was dimly lit but not as tacky inside as he’d likely led her to believe.
