Chapter Seven

David watched as Alinna guzzled her second beer like an old pro. The drinks were a Canadian brew he’d discovered last year that packed a lot of alcohol with a sharp bite. Alinna wasn’t about to tell him everything he needed to know, at least not voluntarily, but from the glazed look in her eyes, the alcohol might give him an advantage. He wasn’t leaving the room until he had some answers.

“This is really good.” Alinna spoke slowly, clearly enunciating her words. Whether it was because of the drink or because she was stalling for time, David wasn’t certain.

“I think so. What shields, Alinna?”

She stood abruptly, her drink still grasped in her hand. She avoided his eyes. “Shields? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She took another gulp of the brew. “Of course I don’t know anything about mind shields.” Alinna set the second empty bottle on the table next to her half-finished sandwich.

“Of course not.” David eyed her slightly unsteady gait as she moved nervously across the room. “Would you like another drink?” One more ought to do it. The lady isn’t used to drinking. And finding out about mind shields sounds like a good place to start.

“Sure. You bet. Another drink sounds like a great idea.” Alinna stood beside him as he cracked the seal on the last bottle on the tray. Since he was off duty, four drinks were allowed, so he’d ordered his full allotment. She reached for it eagerly.

Alinna continued to be a puzzle. She wasn’t familiar with the most common things—the security passes, the food, beer—and her looks were beautiful and unusual. But her apparent amateur clandestine behavior, that was the most intriguing mystery. He watched her long neck as she took a deep swallow. A curl of her tattoo peeked through her light brown hair. He took back his musings. The most fascinating puzzle might be if her tattoos really extended all the way to one very hot pussy. His mouth grew dry as he watched her bend over to reach the bottle cap that had rolled to the floor.

When Alinna straightened she caught him studying her. A slow smile broke out over her face. “You’re watching me.”

“Yes.” David drew in a husky breath. This wasn’t quite what he’d thought about when he encouraged her to drink that third brew, but he couldn’t help responding when her smile grew sly.

She slowly licked her lips.

Damn. He stood, wanting to look her in the eyes.

She stepped closer to him. “I’ve been watching you, too.” A small giggle escaped her lips, and she brought her hand to her mouth, surprised at her reaction.

David caught her fingers in his. She stilled. For a moment neither moved. Fuck it. I’m doing this. David leaned in and caught her lips with his. He kissed her, gently tasted her. The spicy flavor of pita chips and the yeast of the beer didn’t completely hide the purely female taste of her lips. When he was about to withdraw, she moaned into his mouth.
