“Me too.”
“I’d better get back. We’re slammed tonight.”
“Yes, ma’am. I’ll be at the bar.”
She stared at him, cleared her throat, and quickly returned to the bar. Her lips tingled, and she would rather be back in the hallway, kissing him.
Going behind the bar, she waited on customers and kept her eyes off Liam. He was too tempting.
“I’m glad you cut your break short. We are swamped,” Scarlett said as she made a drink beside her.
“I know.” Siobhan poured a beer and then set it on the bar.
“I noticed Liam followed you,” Laura said.
“Uh, yeah.”
When neither woman said anything, she looked at them to see them staring at her.
“What?”
Scarlett laughed. “Did you talk, or was he going to the bathroom?”
“We… talked.” She mentally winced at the hesitation.
“Talked, huh?” Laura reached for a shot glass.
“Yes—” She stopped when Scarlett snorted. “What?”
“I saw you two in the hallway.” Scarlett grinned.
Siobhan gasped, then covered her face with her hands.
“I’m so embarrassed.”
Laura and Scarlett laughed.
“Did it look like one of those, ‘I want to be kissed like that right now,’ kind of kisses, Scarlett?”
“The kind that makes you jealous that your man isn’t here doing that with you, kind of kiss, Laura.”
Siobhan dropped her hands and narrowed her eyes.
“I hate you both,” she snapped, then laughed when they did.
“Was it as good as it looked, Siobhan?”
“Honestly? It was probably even better than it looked.” She grinned. “He’s waiting for me after work.”
“Take that man home. I swear, I will never speak to you again if you don’t.” Laura put her hands on her hips.
“I think I will.”
When Laura rang the bell, Siobhan’s nerves kicked in. She took orders for the next hour and kept her eyes off Liam.

Liam watched Siobhan refill drinks, but she never looked at him. He hoped he could go home with her tonight. One-night stands weren’t her thing, but he was surprised to realize that he might want more than that with her.
