But I’m not about to say such a thing when I’m holding Summer in my arms.
“I can see by the way you two are looking at each other you think that’s a bad location,” Summer says.
Cooper stutters, and he never stutters. “Well, it’s…not bad, per se…but it’s just…”
I go hard with the twin ESP thing. Don’t say it, bro. Don’t say another word about that dinky little town across the river. Don’t say a single shitty thing.
But he ignores me. Of course he does. He does not know when to shut up. “It’s just that the last time I was there, it wasn’t exactly a prosperous enough place to support a decent hotel, let alone?—”
I interrupt with, “What Cooper is trying to say is we need a lot more information and we’d like you to come over for dinner at our house.”
Cooper turns to me. I ignore him.
“You would?” Summer asks, blinking at me. Her soft, supple cheek is so close I could kiss it. I’m salivating, which might make me a pig, considering that this woman is injured and can’t escape me.
“Listen,” I say, louder than what is my comfort level of speaking because it’s too fucking loud in here. “I can’t hear myself think. I hate crowds. I’m much better sitting down and having a kitchen table conversation.”
A slow smile lights up Summer’s face. “I like that idea.”
“Good.”
“My phone is in the pocket of my shorts. Hold on.” My whole body burns as she shifts around, pressing her pretty boobs against my chest as she digs into her back pocket.
“Wow,” I hear Cooper say, watching this spectacle. I do my best to ignore him.
Finally, Summer raises her phone to let me share my contact info with her.
“But we don’t have extra clothes…I mean, we can’t go to dinner looking like this…” Harmony complains.
“You look perfect,” Cooper corrects her.
Harmony looks down and crosses her arms over her bare midriff.
Without taking her eyes off me, Summer replies, “Don’t worry, sis. It’s all gonna work out.”
I return Summer’s bright smile with my hesitant one as our phones chirp.
“Looking forward to talking business with you,” Summer says.
“All business,” I agree.
“You can put my sister down now,” Harmony says. “I can help her hobble back to our booth.”
“See you tonight,” Summer says, then presses a quick, soft kiss against my cheek.
Carefully, I set her down. My temperature drops, and I shiver, missing her closeness. The sisters walk away, Harmony lending support.
“We’re supposed to be wooing them out of their money, not finding dates for ourselves,” Harmony says, assuming she’s out of earshot.
“Why not both?” Summer laughs.
I only hope Summer’s not kidding around.
