He pressed the heels of his hands into his eye sockets, drew a breath and, feeling slightly better grounded in reality, joined her in the kitchen
She wore a soft T-shirt and another pair of jeans that hugged her pert ass and long thighs She’d left her shoes by his front door and stood at the stove in her socks
Stirring solanced up "All done?"
He’d thrown in soeneral pickup of his place He wasn’t a neat freak, but he wasn’t a slob, either After that he’d returned some calls to sponsors, a few to other camps that had invited him to work out and one to Drew Black, the president of the SBC He’d taken his cell to the bedroom to talk and Rissy had stayed in the kitchen, and still, every second, one part of his brain had dwelled on her nearness "I’ll have to switch to the dryer in twenty minutes"
"I’ll remind you," she pro the saht around then"
"What are you cooking anyway?" Scented stea his sto every couple of hours Usually some type of protein But Rissy kept hiot to breathe, much less eat
"It’s a chicken dish my mom used to uessing it’s okay for you, too"

Her expression eased and she s the food one more time she turned it on low and wiped her hands on a dish towel Joining him at the table, she sat and took one of his hands "Armie"
Alarm skittered up his spine "Uhwhat?"
