‘I don’t think so, Cally.’
She’d feel intimidated if she didn’t feel so turned on.She stared as he walked closer towards her.
‘I don’t think I should leave yet.’
‘As I said, I don’t have any other jobs…’
‘I wasn’t thinking about doing any more jobs.’He cocked his head to the side, looked a little too sexy.‘I was thinking we should talk some more.’
‘What about?’
‘Us.This…’ he made a juggling gesture with his hands, ‘…zingbetween us.’
‘Zing?’Her voice leapt up an octave or three.
He moved closer.‘You want me.I can see it.’He stepped again so they were almost touching and she tensed even more.‘You jump every time I come near you.’
‘Um.’How did she answer that one?Her cheeks alone were telling him everything he needed to know that he was right.
‘I want you.You want me.It’s simple.’
She knew it was pointless to even try to deny it.The tension in her muscles increased and yet at the same time her insides were melting—he wanted her?She shook her head free of the fantasy.This was just some game he was just acting the bachelor auction part.
‘It’s not simple.And my wanting you is stupid.’
For a second satisfaction flashed across his face.She had a weird blip of pleasure in seeing that her admission pleased him.
‘Why?’
‘You’re not my type.’
‘I’m not?’He looked disbelieving.
It made her all the more determined.Coldly she reinforced her reply.‘Not at all.’
She turned on her heel, went to the sink and started rinsing dishes.
At a far more leisurely pace he followed, coming to stand too close, again.And his questions were too close too.‘When did you last get any?You’re looking way too uptight.’
Astounded, she turned.‘You are sailing dangerously close to the wind.’
‘Hmm.I like a little dangerous.’
She let her look say it all.Only he seemed to find it amusing rather than quelling.He leaned across, his hand trapping hers on the tap as he spoke low and tauntingly in her ear.
‘You know what you need?You need a good hard—’
She yanked her hand out from under his.‘Don’t say it.Don’t you dare say it.’
‘What was I going to say?’He looked all innocence again—the devilish rake disappearing in a disarming smile.
‘It’s time you were leaving.My lover is due here any minute and he’s the jealous type.’
‘Liar.’He laughed.‘No jealous lover would let you loose at a man auction.No lover would leave you alone on a Saturday morning.’
‘Fine.No lover—jealous or otherwise.It’s still time you were leaving.’
‘No, it’s not.’
