Her lips parted, the tip of her pink tongue dipping out, tempting him.
A breath.
Then he managed to summon the strength to step back.
“Dastardly deed time?” he asked lightly.
She went still and, fuck, if her body didn’t come a little closer, tempting him further. But then her lids slid closed, and she released a breath, and—her eyes opened.
Gold tempered.
Tongue safely in her mouth.
“Yes,” she said quietly. “Dastardly deed time.”

“Rafe is going to kill me,” he muttered two hours later.
Teresa tore the plastic wrap with her teeth, tucking the roll into its box, and smacking it into his open palm.
He gave her his other hand, helped her up, not that she needed the assistance.
But frankly, he was taking every chance he could to touch her.
Feeding the need inside him.
Not pushing.

“He’s going to hate it,” Teresa agreed.
He fought a smile. “It’s going to be great.”

Fuck, if laughter didn’t bubble up in his throat, if it didn’t escape into the space around them. Hell, if he didn’t feel so much fucking better after theirdastardly deeds, even if their fun would be at Rafe’s expense.
Though, he supposed he owed his best friend at leastonedastardly deed considering he still hadn’t forgiven Rafe for hijacking his container of Oreos and replacing all the centers with toothpaste.
Toothpaste.
Had that happened in the last ten years? No.
