Chapter Eleven

“Kung Fu, huh?” His lower lip moved, shooting pain into his gums. Finally getting a nibble of what Lucy Davidson tasted like had been better than he hoped it would be, but then his damned lip. “You started when, in middle school?”

“Yes.” Lucy handed him a mug covered in small marshmallows floating on top before she curled up in the chair opposite him. “A friend told me about it, said it had helped her and she was about my size. It’s a smarter martial art since it uses my opponent’s momentum against them instead of brute force.”

“You let them do most of the work. Dammit.” He touched the mug to his mouth. The heat of the ceramic burned his tender skin. “Hot.”

“Oh, gosh. I’ve got some ice we can add.” She began to stand, but he motioned for her to stay seated.

“It just needs time to cool, Lucy. What were you saying about Kung Fu?”

“At least let me get you a straw.” Within seconds she’d returned with a cup of a few cubes of ice and a couple of coffee straws. “Sorry, it’s the best I’ve got for now.”

He dropped the thick cubes into the thick chocolate and stirred with the straws. “Then I’m having warm chocolate instead of hot?”

“Yes, Dr. Smartypants.”

“Okay, Dr. Badass.” And perfect ass. All those years of martial arts had kept Lucy more than in shape.

Thinking about having his hands on her body only made it more difficult for him to reposition gracefully without embarrassing himself. Good thing he wore jeans and not sweatpants because in sweatpants, there would be nowhere to hide his enthusiasm for his beautiful colleague and her company.

She took her seat again and took a long sip of her hot chocolate. “You asked about martial arts. It would have been foolish for me to try and come straight at Junior like I would have been trained to do, let’s say in American Karate or Aki-do. Scrawny or no, he certainly would have knocked me on my ass if I’d thought I could overpower him through brute force.”

“I don’t know. You’re pretty fierce. I can’t see you backing off from much of anything or anybody.”

Her eyes lit up with delight. “That’s the sweetest thing. Thank you.”

“What made you start in Kung Fu again? Bullies?”

“Something like that.” She moved her dark red hair over her shoulder as she appeared to get lost in thought. “My mom thought it would build my confidence and coordination.”

Something like that? He wondered if she’d suffered the injury because of someone’s malicious act. Fury uncomfortably twisted his insides at the idea of anyone hurting her.

Calm down, man. It was only one kiss.

One amazing, intense kiss.

If it weren’t for his busted lip, it was possible they would be on the fast track to Nakedtown.

“Did the Kung Fu help?” He repositioned in his chair, hoping to alleviate some of the pressure on his fly. “Were you able to use it?”

“Yes.” She stared at him for a few seconds before she appeared to blink her way out of her thoughts.
