“Why do you like me, Bones? I mean, honestly. Don’t you want to be around someone easier?”
“I’ve done easy.”
I arched a brow.
He rolled his eyes. “I didn’t mean it the way it sounded. I think about you when I’m not with you. You’re different than I’m used to. Your world is different than I’m used to. I like a challenge.”
“Oh, I see. It’s the chase, right? As soon as I give in and sleep with you, you’ll no longer be interested?”
“You’re going to sleep with me?” He grinned. “Hot dog.”
My lips wavered and I finally cracked a smile. “Okay, okay, I take everything too seriously. I’ll try and relax about…this.”
“Orgasms help with relaxation.”
I reached into the cabinet and pulled out two mugs. “So does tea.”
Chapter 14
“Sit,” Bones commanded, holding both cups of tea in his hands.
I sat on the couch and covered myself with a blanket and then Bones gave me a mug. He nestled in at the other end. “You can stretch out if you want.”
My legs were curled up and I eased them out, my sock-clad feet grazing his jeans.
He took a sip of his tea and made a face. “That’s disgusting.”
“I added honey.” I sipped on the tea. “What are you talking about? It’s delicious.”
“I’m not drinking this.” He leaned over and set the mug onto the table.
“Charlie opened a bottle of wine earlier,” I said. “It’s the only alcohol I have, but you’re welcome to it.”
“Red or white?”
“A cabernet.”
“That means nothing to me.”
I grinned. “Red. Try it. See how you feel about it.”
“Ah, I see. More rich people education?” He was teasing, but he did get up. “Fine, I’ll try the wine, but I’m putting it in a mug out of principle.”
A laugh escaped my lips. While I was queuing up a movie, Bones came back from the kitchen and sat down on the couch.
“Well?” I asked.
“I haven’t tried it yet.” He lifted the mug to his lips and took a sip. “Huh.”
“Huh?”
“Not bad. Maybe I like wine.”
“Maybe you do.” I smiled. “And I know our next date isn’t until Wednesday, but I’ll give you a piece of advice when it comes to wine.”
“I’m all ears.”
“Make it up.”
