“Pleasure to have met you, Mrs. Lovelace. See you, Manda-bear.”

Jemma pushed on C’s back and steered him out the kitchen door. Under normal circumstances, the chilled night air would have made her shiver, but not tonight, not with her temper rising in direct proportion to his idea of fun-and-games.

“What’s wrong?” He laughed at her and caught her right hand as she pulled the kitchen door to with her left.

“What’s wrong? They’ll have to double the guard once it’s known that Eddie C’s going to a high school homecoming dance.”

“Well, I didn’t go to any of my own. Just making up for lost time. I might be able to talk T into coming and we could jam with the band. Or do they just have deejays?”

“You are very close to impossible.”

“I’d rather just be close to you.” He turned from his head start down the steps and faced her. She saw his eyes flit to the kitchen window above the sink. “We have an audience.”

He stood a step below her and their noses were almost even. Jemma could feel his breath on her upper lip. “Mother and Mandy are spying, in other words.”

“In other words, it’ll look real strange if you don’t put your arms around my neck.” He settled his arms loosely around her waist and drew her nearer. It was either have her arms trapped at her sides or put them around his neck. She scooted her hands up his arms and across his shoulders, let her fingers wander up the sides of his neck, let them outline the edges of his ears before settling there. Two could play this game.

He caught his breath. “Promise me you’ll let your tongue do that some day.”

“I only have to find you un-charming for five more days, and after the kitchen table performance you just gave, that may not be as difficult as you believe.”

“You think you’re made of sterner stuff than you really are.”

“You have no idea of my stern stuff.”

He looked down at her. “Nor you of mine.”

“Okay, so it’s a draw. I believe it’s time to say goodnight, Charles.”

“Yes, it is.” He tightened his hold on her. “And our audience is going to be sincerely disappointed if you don’t kiss me goodnight.”

“At the moment, I do not want nor need a kiss from you. Our position is sufficient for our audience, half of whom is outraged by the fact that I’m still out here and the other half of whom has too much libido for her own good anyhow.”

“I beg to differ.” His right hand began a slow ascent up her back. “Consider this a freebie. For the cause. Trust me, I wouldn’t do it just for my own pleasure.” His lips touched hers. “Or yours.”

Jemma tried to ignore the feelings that coursed through her body, the heat that rose from some forgotten place and finally found release through her hands. Before she knew it, the traitorous appendages had wound themselves into his hair and her mouth had opened
