Chapter Nine

She’d been in the bathroom far longer than any person needed to be, no doubt a feeble attempt to avoid him. Pressing her to order a drink might have been viewed as issuing her a challenge, and she’d retaliated by denying him a lap dance. Not that he’d wanted one, but it would have been fun to watch her squirm a little. It would have been even better to watch her reaction to receiving a lap dance. The image made him chuckle. Fleeing the scene of a public lap dance was exactly the response he’d expect from her.

Over the past couple of days things had definitely changed between them, and he liked where they were headed. Though he certainly wasn’t in the market for a monogamous relationship, the idea was starting to grow on him. Unlike his previous dating experiences, his time with her wasn’t just clubbing and eating out. They were doing everyday things. She’d even met his parents. Sure, he’d originally planned that because of the wedding favor, but he’d liked her in that part of his life—liked it a lot.

Though he would barely admit it to himself, he kind of liked the fact that they hadn’t jumped into the sack. After taking her home from his parents’ house, it could have easily happened. All it would have taken was the slightest hint that she was open to him coming inside, but she’d been the strong one. Or maybe she hadn’t felt the spark, but he had a hard time believing that.

The kiss in the car had been hot, and the way she’d responded to him even better than he’d imagined. There was a river of lava under her cool facade, and he couldn’t wait to bring it to the surface.

The bathroom door creaked open and Kinni stuck her head out the narrow opening. When she saw him resting against the wall, arms crossed, waiting, her shoulders slumped and she trudged the rest of the way out of the restroom.

“You didn’t think you’d get away that easily, did you?”

She stopped several feet away and glowered at him. “I’d hoped.”

“Nice try. Actually—” He shook his head. “That was a rather pathetic attempt.”

“What can I say? The thought of having some bejeweled floozy gyrating all over me does that to me.”

Her exaggerated contempt was extremely satisfying. He knew she wasn’t defeated, not by any stretch of the imagination. If he could keep her from leaving, there was no doubt she’d rally and give as good as she got. “Come on, I’ll buy you another drink.”

“I don’t think so. I’m going home.”

He shook his head. “That would be a big mistake.”

“It would actually be the smartest thing I could do.” She headed for the red-draped opening. “So please don’t regale me with reasons I should stay here.”

“Okay.” He straightened and followed behind. “But let me make a few observations. First off, Roxy’s bachelorette party has already taken a dive with Dani leaving. If you bail, too, her feelings might be hurt.
