Gwen paused, her knuckles still resting on the door. That voice could melt the heart of a hardened man-hater. How could she ever expect to hold her own with someone like him?

She couldn’t. She straightened her shoulders and pushed the door open.

If you couldn’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.As many times as she had to, she’d have to keep reminding herself to take whatever she got from the weekend. If she could just convince herself to lose the embarrassment, then she was sure to gain something from it.Pleasure?Experience?Something, anyway.

“Ah, you caught me.” Todd grimaced across the kitchen at her, raising his hands in mock defense. “I haven’t actually managed to find anything for us to eat yet.”

Her eyes widened. She couldn’t help staring. A lock of his hair fell casually over an eyebrow, his feet and chest were bare — she really hadn’t been dreaming.And that boyish grin… In an instant she knew she’d forgive him anything if only she could keep on looking at him. Who needed sexy calendars behind the bathroom door when they had the real thing?

“Oh?” she managed, swallowing convulsively. She glanced at the clock on the wall. “It’s early for dinner.”

“Neither of ushave had lunch ,” he pointed out, turning towards the fridge. “How about I whip up an omeletnow, and we eat properly later?”

His back view was just as stunning as the front, and she had to lick suddenly dry lips before answering.

As he bent to open the crisper drawer, muscles rippled across his back, his movement somehow more elegant now she could actually see all the leashed power he’d hidden under his shirt. As he straightened, his sweats slipped. Gwen’s breath caught.

“Vegetarian alright with you?”

“Uh huh.”She nodded, fascinated. Him a vegetarian? Plenty of guys were of course, and he was obviously very aware of his health to have a body like that.But vegetarian? It just didn’t seem quite right.

He didn’t lookup, already busy tearingbokchuy into rough strips.“Chili?”

She hesitated a moment.“I… um…Sure.”

“Really?”His tone was mild. He appeared to be concentrating on the carrot he was finely slicing, so she wasn’t prepared for the piercing gaze he suddenly trained on her.

“Do you really like chili or are you just saying that?” he repeated patiently, laying the knife aside, and wiping his hands on the dish towel.

She shook her head, unconsciously stepping backwards, as he glided around the bench. He wasn’t menacing exactly, but… She stumbled against the row of stools that lined the wall, unsurprised when strong hands steadied her. He lifted her easily and deposited her on the closest one, smiling slightly as he stepped away.

“Was that no, you do like chili, or no, you don’t like chili?” His smile widened.

Gwen moistened her lips before replying. There was something about the expression in his eyes that had changed. It was only subtle but…
