She’d
have to face the guy some time. She whipped around and collided with a solid
wall of male muscle. He smelled like leather and stood at least eight inches
taller than her. She splayed her hands on his chest to steady herself, then
backed up. “Sorry.”
“I
scared you?”
She
met his gaze. Holy fuck. He had blue eyes. “Jinx?”
“That’s
my brother.” He smiled. “Are you okay? You look lost and a little confused.”
A
little? “You’re fucking serious? You’re not Jinx?” She swept her gaze over him.
Christ. She’d cream her shorts at this rate. He had muscle in all the right
places, a chiseled jaw, reddish blond hair and blue eyes. When he smiled, his
dimple showed. He smelled good and when he spoke, shivers ran the length of her
spine. And here she was with a wet tank top and hard nipples. She was so
fucked.
“I’m
serious.” He laughed and offered his hand. “Jinx—er—my brother, Jeremy, tends
to be here. He paints. Why are you looking for him? It’s too late for him to
paint tonight.”
“Oh.
Right.” God. She sounded stupid. “I’ll stop talking now.”
“You
don’t have to.” He slipped her hand into his and tugged her to the closest
bench. “Have a seat, catch your breath and let’s talk. You look flustered. You
can’t possibly be a hitwoman or out to find him because of a secret baby.”
“Why
not?” Being a hitwoman wasn’t on her radar, but anything was possible.
“Despite
your foul mouth, you’re too sweet.” He nodded to the bench. “Sit. Tell me your
name and what’s going on.”
She
plopped onto the bench and willed her chest to cooperate. She pressed her knees
together. Christ, the heat in her body would overwhelm her sooner than later.
She wanted to touch him again and feel that sizzle. “My name is Cory…Cordelia.”
She shook hands with him. Damn. Firm grip. What would it feel like to have
those hands around her waist during sex? Probably heaven… Shit. She had to focus.
“I’m actually trying to find Jinx or Jeremy, as you called him, for a friend of
mine. A mutual friend told me to get them in contact and put in a good word.”
“Is either friend a guy?”
“Yeah.
One of them is.” She slid her gaze to him. “Why? Didn’t you know he’s gay?”
“I
knew.”
“Before
we go any farther, what’s your name?” Call her nosy, but she wanted to address
him properly when she asked him to bed later.
“Liam.
It’s short for William. William Darling.” He shook her hand again. “It’s a
pleasure to meet you, Cordelia.”
