“Only if you want to be wearing the frying pan.”
He held his hand up in surrender.
“You’re full of attitude this morning, Kirsty Campbell. I’d ask what’s gotten into you, but I already know.”
Kirsty ignored him.
When she put his plate on the counter in front of him, Lake’s arm snaked out to wind around her waist.
“I like this.” He rubbed the satin cloth of her gown between his finger and thumb.
Kirsty watched him in fascination. He touched the hollow of her throat and ran his fingers lightly down the opening of her dressing gown to between her breasts.
“I like this a lot.”
Kirsty pulled free before she gave into her urges and threw herself at the man. She’d dealt with enough for one night. She wasn’t going to overload herself by being naked in daylight. That could wait for another day. She stumbled over nothing on the floor at the surprise that she was even considering another day. She chewed her lip.
“What’s bothering you now?” he asked as he wolfed down his food.
She looked at him for a moment, debating the wisdom of telling him.
“Do you want to see me again?”
He stopped eating.
“I want to see all of you, all of the time,” he told her.
“I mean, do you want to sleep with me again?”
“Kirsty, I wanted to sleep with you about twenty minutes ago but you wouldn’t let me.”
There was that.
“I’m trying to decide if I want to see you again,” she said.
Lake choked on a piece of sausage. When he’d recovered, he smiled a little cockily.
“Of course you do,” he said.
Kirsty folded her arms over her dressing gown and leaned against the counter.
“Maybe I don’t,” she said.
“Oh, but you do.”
She narrowed her eyes at him.
“You’re really cheesing me off now,” she said.
He shrugged and shook his head like she was the mystery.
“I’m going for a shower,” Kirsty declared.
As she stomped past him, he grabbed her and kissed her hard. Kissed her until her nails were digging into his shoulders and she was rubbing against him like a cat.
“Point made,” she said when he stopped.
Feeling a little dazed, she headed to the bathroom.
