Did she think she was slick pulling the same move as him? Hiding her I.D. as if he wouldn’t have other ways to figure out who she was.
Okay, it was kind of slick.
If only because it had also been his move.
She had taken to sassing him and he smiled through it as if he hadn’t heard a thing. “Late night?” He asked as the ridiculously caffeinated drink was announced for her. His voice was as syrupy as the dessert drinks the cafe peddled. “Or is it a rough day?”
The questions were pointed. They both knew the answers. Yuppers. Samesies.
He collected his Triple Berry Sensation tea from the counter and slipped it into a heat protective sleeve. A cake pop decorated with pink and white icing was also presented to him. “Here ya’ go, Ren.” The barista winked as she slid him the cake pop. He’d charmed her into giving it to him for free.
And now, dammit, his charming ways had announced his nickname to the irascible thief woman lady. Oh well. It was time they got to know each other.
“I gave up on caffeine myself some time ago,” specifically he’d given it up in prison. The coffee there was terrible. “I found that it gave me the jitters. And when you have the jitters you tend make mistakes. Can't afford to make mistakes in this business, you know?”
That golden tongue could make a lie and an accusation sound like ‘I love you’ whispered in French while laying on down pillows and Egyptian cotton sheets after steamy sex. The smile never left his face. He could smile like that for hours.
“Have you been up on the new terrace? It overlooks the P.T. yards.” He nudged her with his elbow and wiggled his eyebrows up and down. “Wanna go watch some hotties get yelled at by the drill instructors? My favorite part is the push-ups. Those back muscles, though, am I right?” He made as if to fan himself before he sipped at his fruity tea. He regarded her with clear, glittering blue eyes over the cup.
The invitation was clearly for a private tete-a-tete so they could work out how to deal with her mistake.
