Excerpt:
“That wasn’t so bad,” Lance said as
they walked in the green room following the conference. The others had
scattered soon after, but Brea had followed him to express her displeasure. She
simply stared at him; he had clearly been hit in the head if he thought that
press conference went well.
Brea tried for calm but failed
miserably. Her temper didn’t flair up often, but when it did she tended to lay
waste to everything in her path. “Easy for you to say grabby hands,” she
hissed. “And what the hell were you doing insinuating that we had a relationship?!”
“First of all, I wouldn’t have had
to say shit if you didn’t try to eye fuck me on the way in.”
Brea narrowed her eyes, gritting her
teeth so she didn’t rise to his bait. “I didn’t try to eye fuck you. And who
says shit like that?”
He leaned in so close she could feel
his breath, causing a tingle in the base of her spine. “The guy who you were
about ten seconds away from pulling into a back room.” She pulled away, needing
the distance, before glaring at him.
“And don’t touch me again without permission.”
He chewed on his bottom lip, looking
her up and down like he knew exactly where he wanted to touch her. “What pisses
you off more? The fact that I had to squeeze your leg to prevent you from
spouting off at the mouth…or that you wanted me to squeeze much more than your
leg?”
Her nostrils flared, from desire or
anger she didn’t know. They say there’s a thin line between love and hate, and
she never felt it more acutely than she did today, as though ever nerve ending
was on fire. She didn’t know why this man did it for her, but he did.
“You are obnoxious as hell.” It was
pretty weak as far as comebacks went, but she couldn’t think straight. All she
wanted to do was feel, but she wasn’t about to give in to shit when it came to
Lance.
“That all you got? You really
are…nice.” When he said it like that it made it seem like she had the plague.
“One of us has to have manners,” she
replied in a way that would have made Emily Post proud.
“Yeah, and one of us had to preserve
your reputation in the media. Will they speculate about us? Yes. Did I play it
off so they think there’s nothing serious about us? Yes. Just wait and see what
they write about you, I guarantee you will be the victim of my evil clutches.”
She shifted from side to side, knowing he was probably right. They would be
much more forgiving of her, but if she said anything they would have circled
like vultures around new prey. She should probably thank him for his foresight,
but he had been such an ass about everything.
“And as far as the other stuff- the
shit between you and me? You look at me like that again, and I guarantee we’ll
be doing a lot more than playing grabby hands under the table.” And just like
that, he walked away, slamming the door on the way out. She plopped down on the
couch, trying to pretend like she didn’t want to call him back for more.
