Her cheeks went a nice pink.
“Did I disturb you?” he asked, trying for innocence.
“Not at all. You’ve done nothing to disturb me.”
She’d heard him all right. What he’d give to just have her come out and say shit to him. He wouldn’t mind at all.
“Really? Because I thought those kids that came around were a little loud.” He loved kids, and he’d not minded their presence. Hearing Cassie’s laugh had been refreshing. Of course, seeing her in a bathing costume had also awakened a fire in him that he couldn’t put out.
Cassie sat back, staring at him. “You’re really going to complain about my friend’s kids?”
“Why not? They were loud. Next time keep the noise down.”
She didn’t say anything. Her eyes didn’t even shoot a glare in his direction. Turning his back toward her, he headed back to his office.
“Sure, the next time I hear you screwing, I’ll make sure to have it reported. I’m sure there’s some violation you’re participating in.”
Her fighting talk made him smile, and it gave him exactly what he wanted.
Walking back toward her, he leaned against her desk. Slade wanted her to be interested in him. He didn’t know what it was about her, but she got right under his skin, and made him ache in ways no other woman ever had. He never played where he worked, but not only was Cassie near him during the day, she was there at night. They lived right next door, and it was hard to ignore her, especially as she had this raw sexuality about her that made him want to get down and dirty. She tried to hide it in her conservative suits, and tight buns, but he saw it. Even as her cheeks went a little pink, she licked her lips, and he knew she was curious about him, even if she didn’t want to be.
“You know, at any time you want to be the woman making some noise with me, all you have to do is say so. I’ve got room on my schedule.”
“With all due respect, Slade, you’re a walking, talking, advertisement for sexual diseases. I’d rather never have sex again.” She turned her back on him, dismissing him.
She said that now, but she was fighting a losing battle.
