she said shortly.
“Sure it wasn’t.” Andy stood up, almost knocking over his chair. “He’s only been here a day, for heaven’s sake!”
“I’m a fast worker,” McCabe said with a wicked smile. “And Wynn is a dish. Can you blame me? Especially when she’s so...responsive.”
Andy seemed to puff up. His face reddened and he gave Wynn a killing glance. He whirled and slammed out of the house. A minute later, the roar of his car filled the silence.
“You troublemaker,” Wynn accused hotly. “What was the point of that lie?”
“It wasn’t a lie,” he said calmly, lighting a cigarette. His eyes shot up and held hers. “You’d have let me kiss you.”
She shifted restlessly. “All right,” she admitted, “I probably would have. We go back a long way and I’m as curious about you as you seem to be about me. But I’m engaged to Andy, I’m wearing his ring. And what’s a kiss, these days, McCabe?”
“It depends on the people involved,” he said quietly. His eyes scanned her hot face. “You and I would make more of it than a meeting of mouths.”
She flushed and dropped her eyes to her empty coffee cup. “He’ll pout for three days before he even speaks to me again. That is, if he doesn’t break the engagement.”
“You’d be better off.”
“I don’t want to be an old maid,” she burst out, glaring at him. “It may suit Katy Maude, but it wouldn’t suit me. I don’t like being alone, living alone!”
“You aren’t,” he reminded her. “You’re living with me right now.”
“Not in the sense I mean.”
“Not yet,” he agreed, and it was a threat.
She stood up. “I’ll do the dishes.”
“Running?” he asked, studying her. “I won’t go away. And neither will the problem.”
“I’ll ignore you both,” she promised him. She gathered the dirty dishes, but as she started by him, to add his plate to the pile at the end of the table, he caught her around the waist and turned her, pressing his open mouth to her backbone.
