Today's post features some banter between Emsley and Rayne, picking up from where last week's post left off.
Book Tagline: Is there anything better than a bath time romp with a hot man? Emsley Bourne wants to find out.
~*~
She had to know if the do-it-all security expert liked to soak in a
tub. Peeking around the corner, she bit her cheek to keep from laughing out
loud. Sure as shit, Rayne McKinnon sat up to his shoulders in frothy bubbles.
An open bottle of bubbly, nestled in a bucket of ice, sat beside the tub, a
glass filled with the golden liquid held in one of Rayne's hands, dangling
outside. His head rested on the rolled edge of the tub, eyes closed, his
fingers lazily tilting the glass back and forth.
The humor died and Emsley's face
heated up. God, he looked damned good, bubbles or not. A wave of jealousy hit
her… he appeared so content. The relaxed pose, the hot water, the alcohol… geez,
she could go for all three. Okay, four. She could go for Rayne right now, too.
Rayne opened his eyes and shook
his head. "Come to short sheet the bed again, Ems?"
She blinked and sputtered, but
didn't deny the accusation. "How did you know?"
Rayne drained his glass and
poured another flute. "You're the only person I know brazen enough to swipe
a keycard at a security conference and not worry about getting caught."
His lips quirked knowingly. "That juvenile record of yours must come in
handy sometimes."
Emsley almost missed the
backhanded insult. Her eyes had been riveted to the sculpted muscle playing
under his skin when he poured the drink.
She nodded absently. "Yeah,
it does." His words registered. "Wait. What? My juvie records are
sealed. You shouldn't know about them."
Rayne's
lips curved in a slow smile. "It pays to have extraordinary hacking
skills."
