“Yes.”
“To sex?” I can’tnotgo there.
“Yes.” Her eyes flare with annoyance, but it’s not real. Her smile tells me she’s having fun with me. “Are you saying you don’t want to spend the night with me because you don’t want…”
“Want, what?”
“To go there.”
“Go where?”
“Oh, you’re impossible.” She stamps her foot and flicks those long lashes of hers in irritation.
“I’m just trying to clarify. And who’s to say I’m the one who’s going to have problems keeping my hands to myself? I saw the way you were checking me out earlier. My eyes…” I point to my eyes with a dramatic flourish. “They are up here. Not here.” I point to my chest. “Or here.” I gesture below my belt. How do I know you won’t try to ravish me?”
“Ravish?”
“That’s what I said.” A grin fills my face.
“You would love it if I ravished you.” She shakes her head and laughs.
“True.”
“Okay, at some point, we’re going to have sex.”
“Hot damn. Best words ever.”
“But not tonight.” Her smile slips into a laugh.
“Buzz kill.”
“Stop it.” She can’t stop smiling.
“You’re the one talking about sex.”
“No, I’m talking aboutnothaving sex.”
“Potatoes, tomatoes.”
“Have nothing to do with it. Will you be serious for a minute?”
“I don’t think I can.” I scrub my face and plaster on a flat, expressionless mask. It lasts all of five seconds before her laughter fills the air.
“You’re hopeless.” She holds up her hands. “Will you…”
“Yes?”
“I haven’t asked the question yet.”
“Okay.” I put on my serious face and rock back on my heels. Her lips twitch into another smile.
“Will you please come inside and stay the night? Not for sex.” She holds up her pointer finger. “Not for sex, but for comfort, so I don’t have to sleep in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar building, in an unfamiliar place?”
“Yes, luv.”
“You will?”
“How can I say no? I would love to sleep in your bed, but don’t get handsy with me.”
