Chapter Six

THE BATCAVE PROVED to be a small two-up-two-down terrace house in the less-than-salubrious part of Ballybeg.

“You live near my Uncle Buck,” Sharon said cheerfully. “Not to mention his pal John-Joe Fitzgerald. That must be fun for you.”

Brian paused in the act of inserting his key in the door. “Oh, yeah. They’re fantastic neighbors. I’m constantly having to avert my eyes in case I see them up to something illegal on my day off. That pair of eejits is involved in every dodgy get-rich-quick scheme in Ballybeg.”

He opened the door and gestured for her to enter. Sharon took off her coat and scarf and surveyed her surroundings. The entrance hall was narrow and led to a small galley kitchen at the back of the house. A door to the right opened to reveal a tiny living room crammed with an overlarge sofa and two armchairs so stuffed they looked like they were on steroids.

Brian closed the curtains and made a beeline for a large drinks cabinet next to a wide, flat-screen television. “What are you having? I don’t have much in the way of fruit, but there are a few limes and oranges in the kitchen.”

“Can you make me a vodka gimlet?”

He smiled, and when he did so, the corners of his eyes creased adorably, making her heart skip a beat. “I certainly can.” A few minutes later, he pressed a cocktail glass into her hand. “Enjoy.”

“Thanks. This looks delicious.” It tasted delicious too. She watched him mix his own cocktail. He’d opted for a whiskey sour with a slice of orange to decorate.

“So,” he said, raising his glass. “To our research project. May we come top of the class.”

“I’ll drink to that. I’m an eternal optimist.”

Their glasses clinked, making a pleasant ringing noise. Instead of stepping apart, Brian closed the space between them and planted a soft kiss on her nose. Her breath caught as he trailed kisses lower before claiming her mouth with his. He tasted divine—whiskey mingled with peppermint gum. She pulled him closer, hungry for more, relishing the musky scent of his aftershave and the sensation of his thick red hair running through her fingers.

The room spun around her, and she belatedly remembered she still had her eyes open, gawping like a teenager. She’d known he’d kiss her when he’d invited her back to his place, and she’d expected to like it. But she hadn’t anticipated a reaction this strong. She pressed her breasts against his chest and felt his heart beating, skimmed her hands down his shirt, noting the hard muscles beneath. He groaned and deepened the kiss.

“We’d better get rid of these glasses,” she murmured into his neck.

He whisked hers out of her hand and put both glasses on the coffee table. Pushing her back on the sofa, Brian applied himself to the task of making her swoon. He proved most adept at the job. She gasped when he trailed kisses down her neck and over her cleavage.

“You have gorgeous breasts,” he murmured, voice thick with desire.
