“I don’t know.” She scoured through the pile until she found what she wanted. “We work with the best of the best products.”
“Isn’t that what you’ve got here?”
“I want it to be.”
“Then that’s what you’ll do.” I touched her thigh, and she stared at me. “You can’t make the stuff fast enough for the ladies at Paths.”
“They’re just being nice.”
I gripped her chin, forcing her to look at me. “Being nice is trying something once. They’re all clamoring for your stuff.”
“Who told you that?”
I winked. “I’ve got inside sources.” I lifted my chin and turned my head from left to right. “Now what do you think?”
“I think you make an excellent guinea pig.”
Baker’s eyelidsdrooped where she was curled up on the opposite end of the sofa.
“Ready to call it a night?”
She yawned and stretched. “I think so.”
I nudged her in the ribs. “See. Roommate night wasn’t so terrible after all.”
“I guess not.”
I stood and held out my hands to her. She took them, and a spark shot up my arms as I pulled her to her feet. I couldn’t force myself to immediately release her. She seemed frozen as she peered up at me.
Heat crackled between us. I was desperate to pull her closer, but uncertain where the lines were that we weren’t supposed to cross. She’d said maybe we didn’t need boundaries, but I doubted she meant what I had in mind.
“What are you doing tomorrow?” The words were out of my mouth before I thought them through. She looked as surprised as I felt.
“I don’t have any plans.”
“Now you do.”
Lines creased her forehead. “What are they?”
“All you need to know is they end up at Dino’s for Sunday dinner with my family.”
A fondness etched her features. “I like your Dad and your sister.”
I pouted. “What about me?”
“Not really.” Pure mischief taunted me. “Don’t you care what I think about your brother?”
“I kinda hope you don’t like him. That way I don’t have to be jealous.”
“You do realize he’s with my best friend?”
“Doesn’t always mean anything,” I said, too cutting.
She saw too much as she looked at me, her hands squeezing mine back. “It does to me.”
I forced a smile. “Big day tomorrow. We’d better get to bed.”
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to protest, instead led me toward our bedrooms. At our doors opposite one another she hesitated.
