Vivian blushed. Or maybe she was already flushed from the alcohol. “So is this the part where you ask me back to your place?” she squeaked. “Again?”
Kat’s struggle to remain as calm and collected as any hot-shot seducer was liable to make her fray at her weakened seams.I am so not as cool as people like to make me sound!What good were stereotypes about women like her when she barely lived up to them?
Or maybe she did. Kat was about to find out.
“I could invite you back to my place if you want,” she said with a half-hearted shrug. An amazing feat, considering she was wound up enough. “Or we could take it a little slower.”
“Can’t do both, huh?”
“There ain’t much to do at my place but fool around in bed.”
Vivian bit back a giggle. “Maybe that sounds nice.”
“Nice, huh?” Kat sucked in her cheeks. “Nice,she says. After that preview I gave her…”
“It was definitely a nice preview.”
“You’re breaking my balls here, Vivi.”
“Are they blue?”
“If you’re asking if the strap-on I keep in my nightstand is blue, then… yes?”
Damnit. She had pushed it too far. Vivian was gonna be disgusted with her and…
“Blue’s my favorite color.”
“Uh huh. So then it’s in your best interest to keep my balls as blue as possible. Because then you think they’re pretty.”
Vivian laughed. She did an admirable job keeping any and all nerves out of that laughter ringing in the tiny bar. God. Kat could kiss her right now, and if Vivian were her girlfriend, shewould.In front of everyone. In front of her coworkers. In front of herboss.
“Can’t see blue anything in the dark.”
“We could leave the lights on.” Kat grazed her fingers against Vivian’s arm. “You, me, and an endless supply of orgasms.”
“You sure know how to sell it.”
“Is it working? You buying my pitch?”
“I thought you played third base.”
“Touché.” Kat couldn’t take it anymore. She was about to burst from her need to kiss this woman in front of her. “Let’s cut the crap, Vivi. Should we leave things here for tonight, or should we pick up where we left off last night?”
Vivian broke eye contact, her teeth firmly against her bottom lip and her hand whipping through her tangles of straight black hair.I want to bury my face in that hair. I want to bury my face in her tits. God damnit, I want to bury my face in her pussy.Kat had been so close the night before. Close enough to get turned on beyond what was healthy for the average woman.
“Don’t suppose we could do a little of both?”
Kat tried to not let her disappointment show. “Too fast, huh?”
“More like… is there a place we could quickly go and make out like bandits?”
“Nowyou’re thinking like a high school kid.”
“Too immature for you?”
“No, but my blue balls ain’t gonna like it.” Kat took a step back and drew Vivian along with her. “I’ll somehow live, I guess.”
“You’re such a tease.”
