Knox seemed to ponder that for a few seconds. Finally, he said, "I do know what I would do if we werefriends,right about now." He said the word "friends" with a suspicious kind of inflection that made me think he was talking about people other than Spencer. Female friends, maybe.
"What's that?" Why was my heart pattering? What did he do with hisfriends? God, I really wanted it to be something dirty. My love life was so dry. Not that Knox belonged in my love life but… shit. I didn't even know what I was thinking. The wet dream had messed with my brain.
"I'd make popcorn and play Rummy," Knox grinned. His knowing look told me he suspected I'd been thinking something completely inappropriate. Ass.
I cleared my throat. "I'm very good at Rummy."
"If you lose you have to marry me," he said, opening the glass door to our apartment.
I faltered as I passed him, and my arm nearly brushed his hard chest. He smelled like Knox, like clean detergent and whatever unique, masculine scent had made me lose my mind in his bed tonight. My heart knocked in my chest and my body wavered,held between his body and the doorway. I swallowed. Then, I stuck out my tongue. "You wish."
Knox followed me, and I felt the sultry darkness of his gaze as he did. "You have no idea."
