Chapter Eighteen

"A glass of wine in bed?"

Susan stared at her, but Shawn turned to the cabinets, quickly taking down two wineglasses.

A stunned Ruth watched in silence.

"Do we have a candle?"

Susan swallowed nervously. "In the bedroom."

"Good."

Shawn left and Susan and Ruth exchanged glances.

"Wel ... goodnight, then," Susan murmured.

"Susan, I beg you," Ruth whispered. "Don't go in there with her."

"Ruth, I'll be fine. Really."

"Can't you see what she's doing?"

Yes, Susan thought, she's trying to upset you. And it seems to be working. "We're just going to have a glass of wine before bed and talk."

"My God, you are so blind! She's trying to seduce you! Wine and candles? Have some sense!"

Susan was certain Ruth's attempt at whispering could be heard throughout the house, and it took all of her control not to laugh at Ruth's obvious seriousness.

Susan patted Ruth's arm. "I'm in no danger, I promise. Now, go to bed, Ruth. I'll see you in the morning."

It was all she could do to contain her laughter and it bubbled out as soon as the bedroom door was closed behind her.

"You are so bad!"

"I'm sorry, but she pissed me off. If she offered me the Goddamned guestroom one more time, I was going to scream. Jesus!"

Susan handed Shawn the wine and corkscrew, then went into the bathroom to change. "You know she won't get any sleep tonight."

"Good!"

Shawn was sitting cross-legged on the bed, jogging shorts and T-shirt having replaced Susan's borrowed clothes. Alex was curled like a perfect angel at the foot of the bed.

Shawn had the wine opened and poured by the time Susan came out. She was wearing a long T-shirt that reached nearly to her knees and Shawn grinned at her.

"Is that all you're wearing?"

"It's what I sleep in."

Shawn smiled wickedly. "Why don't you pass by Ruth's door, just to show her what you've got on?"

"So, you're really trying to give her a stroke?" Susan joined Shawn on the bed, mimicking her cross-legged position.

"She drives me insane. I don't know how you stand her."

Susan nodded. "She is a little obsessed with you, I think. You frighten her."

"She's lying in bed with her door open, just waiting for any sound."

"Sounds of passion?"

"Oh, I doubt Ruth could even imagine two women being passionate with each other. No, I'll bet she's listening for the sounds of rape. Surely, you would never willingly submit to my advances."

"She'll run in and pull you off of me, saving me."

"And she'll wonder how I managed to get you naked so fast," Shawn teased.

They laughed quietly, then touched glasses.

Susan leaned back into the pillows, her mental image of Ruth pulling a naked Shawn off of her equally naked body causing sensations she'd rather not have. What if Shawn did try to seduce her? Would wine in bed do it? Would she fight it?

But she would never find out, she supposed. Shawn simply finished her wine and crawled under the covers, leaving ample space between them.

"Don't hog the covers," Shawn murmured and she rolled onto her side, her back to Susan.
