Who tells a woman their tits arememorable?
Me, apparently.
It was a poor choice of adjective, but it’s not a lie. More like burned into my brain.
And rather than eat breakfast alone in the empty kitchen, I came out here because the shinglesdidneed to get moved.
“Morning.” Piper gets the word out, then leans forward, bracing her hands against her knees as she sucks in deep breaths of air.
“You okay?” I ask, half-concerned, half-amused.
She straightens and nods.
She looks good sweaty. Thankfully, that’s a thought I manage to keep to myself.
Piper makes a face, running a hand across her forehead. “My gym is air-conditioned.”
I snort.
Tommy grins and holds out a hand. “Tommy Sullivan. We met the other night at Wagon Wheel.”
“Right. Of course.” Piper shakes his hand, then lifts her hand to shade her eyes from the sun. “Piper Egan. Nice to see you again.”
“I didn’t realize you were staying here.” Tommy glances at me, and I know I’ll hear about that. “Would have made myself a little more presentable.”
He’s wearing an old college tee with the sides cut out, which is what he wears ninety-nine percent of the time. I don’t say so, but I’m tempted to call him out on it.
“It’s fine. I’m not an Auburn fan.”
Tommy glances down at hisRoll Tideshirt. Grins. “You know your football rivalries.”
“Four brothers. I wasn’t given much choice in the matter.”
He laughs.
Piper’s attention lingers on him for a few more seconds, then slides to me. “I could really use a shower. Nice to see you again, Tommy.”
“You too, Piper.”
Tommy watches her walk inside, and I have a pretty good idea of what he’s going to say before he opens his mouth. I’ve heard some iteration of it from every single guy who’s met her, and it irritates me more every damn time.
“She single?”
“No idea,” I lie, and I have no clue why. Well, maybe I havesomeclue.
“Are you and she…”
“No.”
“She’s staying in yourhouse, Spencer.”
“Mabel invited her to stay here instead of a hotel. Then left, so I’m stuck with her.”
Tommy raises both eyebrows. “Poor you.”
I shake my head. “What are you doing here?”
“I said I would help you with the roof.”
