Chapter Nine

Cassie let herself into her apartment, set her laptop bag on the floor by the door, dropped her keys in the blue glass bowl on the foyer table, and sighed.

She’d hoped for a night of hot, steamy, blow her pantyhose off sex. Instead she’d got, “Something came up. See you later, Cassie.”

Hot and cold didn’t begin to describe Drew Kerrigan. More like frozen tundra meets active volcano. Both could be deadly. If she were a computer, the man would’ve fried her circuits weeks ago. As it stood, he’d at least managed to scramble both her brain and her body.

With another sigh, she bent over and retrieved her bag. Might as well get some work done instead, because she had nothing better to do at eight in the evening on a lonely Wednesday night in New York City.

She was tempted to do something crazy, but after years of being a good little nerd, crazy didn’t come naturally to her. Therefore, thirty minutes later, she sat propped up in bed, her navy and white striped comforter folded down and her computer propped on her pajama-clad legs. Her teeth were brushed, face scrubbed clean, and breath minty fresh. For the first time since starting work at Data Minds, she unenthusiastically got started on work.

Yeah. I’m a wild woman.

Almost as soon as she logged on, a message popped up on her screen via her personal instant messenger.

You’re home late.

Drew. Cassie frowned even as her heart tripped over itself in its eagerness to respond.

How would you know? she typed back, determined to play it cool, unsure of which temperature he’d be blowing now.

You’re usually online earlier.

Jeez. She was perfectly aware she had zero life outside of work, but way to rub it in. Again, how would you know?

I did ask if you were ready for your own personal spy…

After the up and down of today’s rodeo with the man, she wasn’t in the mood for his weird brand of flirting. That’s not funny.

Sorry.

Cassie continued to hold on to her righteous indignation. Did you need something?

You.

Oh. Heat flushed through her. Oh my. There went righteous indignation down the drain, along with her sense of self-preservation. Seemed he was back to volcano mode, and her body was happy to leap into the fire with him. Amazing how a layer of technology between them got the man opening up more.

“Drew Kerrigan, you are driving me bat guano loco,” she muttered.

Hello?

I’m thinking. What did you type back to a man who decided to declare desire over an instant message? Of course, Drew would approach her this way. Unless her hopeful heart had mistaken what he meant by needing her.

About me wanting you?

Couldn’t get any clearer than that. For once her heart got it right. She shifted her legs, trying to relieve the sweet ache her stirred up senses were inciting. From words on a screen. What would she do if he touched her? Cassie buried her face in her hands. Strike that question. She knew exactly what would happen if he touched her.
