СКАЧАТЬ shook her head. Would Shohn lose interest once he appeased his curiosity? No way to know unless she did some appeasing.

      As he put the razor to his jaw, she drew in a breath, tried not to blush and said, “I was going to spray it outside my door.”

      He went still, then slowly lowered the razor. “Your door?”

      With him looking at her, it was even more difficult to say it. More difficult to breathe, too. And it was almost impossible not to look at his body. “My bedroom door.”

      He put the razor back in the sink. In a low growl, he asked, “Mind if I don’t shave?”

      She took a step toward him. “Not at all.”

      “Then let’s go try out the catnip so I can get you alone.”

      * * *

      Shohn watched as Louie rolled to his back, purring like a kitten, then back to his belly, flattened out like a rug so he could rub his body in the catnip. At first Louie hadn’t been that interested, but once Nadine put the catnip on his uniform shirt, the combo worked.

      “You’re a genius. Hopefully he doesn’t become an addict.”

      A little breathlessly, Nadine whispered, “I had selfish incentive.”

      Shohn glanced at her. The whole half hour that he’d been watching the cat, he’d felt Nadine watching him. Thank God he’d pulled on his clean shorts and slacks otherwise his boner would be all the more obvious. Not that Nadine hadn’t already noticed.

      That’s where she stared.

      Her intent focus wasn’t helping him to keep it together. Her big dark eyes were so expressive that she made him feel her thoughts. Hot, hungry thoughts.

      Added to the stiffened nipples outlined by the soft cotton of her T-shirt and he was a goner.

      Please, Louie, Shohn thought, give me at least an hour. He took a cautious step back, but Louie paid him no mind.

      Another step and Louie noticed, but didn’t care enough to give up wallowing in kitty bliss.

      Touching his fingertips to Nadine’s chin, Shohn lifted her face. “Should we try escaping to your room now?”

      She hugged herself, nodded and turned in a fast walk to precede him down the hall and into the bedroom. Nice that she was in such a hurry.

      Not exactly the romantic segue he’d planned, but it’d do.

      Nadine had already secured the front door, so Shohn glanced over to make sure Louie had food and water in his dish, then he snatched up the repellent spray, just in case, and went after Nadine.

      He found her pacing on the opposite side of the bed, her dark eyes huge and her beautiful breasts rising with her fast breaths.

      Shohn quietly closed her bedroom door. Her bed was only full-size, made up with a fluffy comforter and half a dozen pillows. She’d drawn blinds over the only window. A lamp on the nightstand illuminated the room, leaving soft shadows.

      He set the repellent on the nightstand. It was by far the weirdest accoutrement he’d ever brought to the bedroom.

      With some anomalous emotion leaving her dark eyes mysterious, Nadine tracked his every move.

      She’d been anxious for him, yet now the span of the mattress separated them. “Are you nervous, honey?”

      “A little, yes, sure.” Suddenly she flung out her arms and blurted like an accusation, “You spent years not wanting me and now all of a sudden you do and I do, too, of course, but it’s a surprise and it might take me a little time to get used to it.”

      Wow. Well, he wasn’t sure how much time they’d get. Louie could be at the door any minute and Nadine would no more ignore the needy cat than he would.

      She dropped her arms, bit her lip and waited.

      “I was an idiot,” Shohn said. “For not making a move, I mean. But Nadine, I’ve fantasized about you ever since I saw you in that wet T-shirt back when we were just kids. I know I talked a good game back then, but I hadn’t done any more than kissing.”

      “You were only fourteen!”

      “With a one-track mind. I’m told my uncle Gabe was the same.”

      “The rumors abound, I know.” She snatched up a pillow off the bed and hugged it to her breasts.

      “You’re denying me a great view there, babe.”

      She gave him the same defiant look he’d gotten from Louie then tossed the pillow aside.

      Nice. “Thank you.” Since it appeared they’d have this conversation before the fun got started, Shohn began tossing away the rest of the pillows. “What I’m saying is that until you came out of that lake, I had no clue just how much I loved breasts.”

      She shifted her stance. “All men like boobs.”

      “Yeah, maybe. But some of us more than others.” He pulled the comforter to the foot of the bed. “The thing is, with you, it’s more than just your awesome rack. It’s your great ass, too. And your shapely legs.”

      She snorted. “Such a smooth talker.”

      “I’m on the ragged edge here, honey. How smooth did you expect me to be?” He started around the bed toward her. “How about I get this shirt off you and I can just show you how much I appreciate every inch of your body?”

      Her lips parted, her eyes went heavy and, right before he reached her, she grabbed the hem of the shirt and pulled it up and over her head.

      Shohn thought his knees would give out. “Damn, girl, way to stop my heart.” If he’d ever seen a more enticing sight, he sure as hell didn’t remember.

      Unsure where to put her hands, Nadine shifted. She settled on lacing her fingers together.

      The shorts fit low on her hips and without the T-shirt, hid very little. Hell, his towel had done a more adequate job of preserving his modesty.

      Now, with her standing there like that, it really was impossible for him to talk. His hands reached her before his feet caught up and he was already cuddling her big breasts as he stepped close and put his forehead to hers.

      She inhaled deeply, saying with uncertainty, “Shohn?”

      “You are so fucking gorgeous.”

      She smiled. “Never mind.”

      Shohn couldn’t concentrate on what she said; he was too busy touching her. Over her shoulders, down her back to her full hips, over her firm backside. Her waist nipped in, her belly a soft curve and those amazing breasts.

      He brushed his thumbs over her pink nipples, now drawn tight, and couldn’t resist bending down for a taste.

      When she said his name this time, it was an exclamation, not a question.
