CHAPTER TEN

Alice wrapped her hands around Justin’s belt buckle and tugged, pulling him toward the far side of the room. Of course there wasn’t a bed in the theatre — not even a blanket. There was no couch either. No padded armchair. And since the grant was a bust, it looked like the building would remain empty for a long, long time.

Good thing she knew how to improvise.

Even better, she had years of practice shedding the skin of poor downtrodden Alice. It was easy really — take on the persona of someone else, someone without a care in the world. Usually that someone else was a singing nun or a sweet, simple farm girl. Tonight, she was channeling Gypsy Rose Lee.

And that was going to get her something she’d always wanted — Justin — without disappointment over the grant getting in her way.

A deep breath and a shake of her head, and she let Alice Cramer go. As a nameless, fearless woman, she pulled a devastatingly handsome man through the theatre’s double doors. Once inside the dimly lit house, he backed her against the wall and stole another kiss, piling goose pimples on top of goose pimples. When he came up for air, she shook the tingles from her head and dragged him down the center aisle.

“Sit,” she commanded, twisting him around until the front row was at his rear.

He didn’t hesitate. What man would? She was already unbuttoning her shirt.

“Welcome to the show.” She winked.

He pulled on his tie as he cleared his throat.

She grinned and unbuttoned another button. “You’re in for a treat.” So was she. There was no way she’d squander another opportunity where Justin was concerned.

He reached for her wrist, but she jerked away, giving her hips a sassy swing. “Keep your hands to yourself, sir. No unauthorized touching in my club.” She released the bottom button and slipped the shirt off one shoulder, careful not to show too much skin.

Running the fingers of her opposite hand down the curve of her neck, she bared a few more inches.

His eyes grew dark.

She loved the power he was letting her have. She loved the want written all over his face. And she was just getting started.

“Sometimes when I’m alone, I imagine you touching me here,” she said as she dragged fingers over her collarbone to the split in her shirt, creating a deep V. “And here.” Then she flattened her palm and pulled it across her breast. “And here.”

He released a good-natured growl. “Alice, you’re killing me.”

She flashed him a sultry pout. “My name’s not Alice.”

“Of course not. Who are you?”

“Whoever you want me to be,” she said, dipping her body to the floor, rolling her hips while she gripped the shirt to her chest.

“I want you to be Alice, and I want you over here.” His voice went rough.

“Is that so?” She stepped closer, but then backed away as she rocked to imaginary music and dropped the shirt to the crooks of her arms.
