Sawyer (Alluring Indulgence #7)(47)
Author: Nicole Edwards

“I went to work this mornin’,” Sawyer told her. “Not much to do today.”

“No? Not much sex takin’ place on a Saturday?” she asked, feeling her face heat from her words.

Good Lord, this guy made the filter on her mouth disintegrate.

He chuckled again, holding his fork over his food. “I’m sure there’s plenty of sex goin’ on at the resort today. Anytime you want a tour, I’ll be glad to show you.”

“I’ve already been there, thank you very much.”

Sawyer’s eyebrow cocked and she saw the curiosity in his blue-gray eyes.

“Zane’s reception, remember?” she asked, unable to keep a straight face, her laugh bubbling up from inside.

“That doesn’t count,” Sawyer replied, pointing at her with his fork. “That night was contained to the club. There was nothing else going on because we closed off the other areas until it was over.”

“Well, in that case, no thank you,” Kennedy said, digging into the meat loaf he’d brought her. It happened to be one of her favorites. She wondered if he knew that or if it was just a strange coincidence.

“Why? Scared?”

Kennedy heard the challenge in his tone. She ignored it.

Sort of.

“No, I’m not scared. Just not interested.”

“How do you know that?” he asked. “You don’t know what goes on if you don’t bother to go and check it out.”

“I’ve heard enough,” she said.

“From?”

“My father.” Before he thought that her father had gone and given her details, she clarified. “Not like that. He didn’t tell me what happened while he was there, but he warned me.”

“About?”

Kennedy did not want to continue on the subject, so once again, she avoided his question. “I don’t have any interest, Sawyer,” she replied, keeping her eyes on her food.

“No?”

“No.”

“Huh.”

Kennedy peered up at Sawyer, wondering just what that meant. Huh? He simply cast a sideways glance her way, along with a wickedly delicious grin, before turning his attention back to his food.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t just leave well enough alone. She had to go and ask.

“What does that mean?”

“What does what mean?” he asked, meeting her gaze once again.

“You said ‘huh.’ What did you mean by that?”

“It means I don’t really believe you.”

“Why? What have I ever done to make you believe I’d be interested in a sex resort?”

“You’re curious. That alone is enough,” he said simply, briefly looking at her.

“I am not,” she said, although she figured it probably sounded very much like a lie. Truth was, she was kind of curious. A little.

A teeny, tiny bit.

Ugghh.

Sawyer smiled and her insides melted. She hated when he smiled. He was handsome as it was, but when he smiled, the guy bordered on otherworldly.

“See, I told you. You’re curious.”

“Fine. I’m curious.”

“Like I said,” Sawyer held his fork above his food once again, his full attention on her. “Anytime you wanna check it out, I’ll take you.”

“I still don’t want to go.”

Sawyer went back to eating as though he hadn’t just piqued her curiosity and made her want to do something incredibly stupid. Like go to the resort. With him.

Where the naughty people went.

The idea made her laugh.

She was not naughty. Not by a long shot.

Or was she?

“Tonight,” Sawyer finally said, pushing his empty carton away from him.

Kennedy glanced down at her food to realize she’d hardly eaten a single thing. Crap.

“I . . .” Kennedy tried to think of an excuse, but he had caught her off-guard and now anything she tried to tell him would sound like a lie. Then again, she was getting pretty good at lying to him. Hell, she’d been doing it since she’d come back from college, starting when she told him she wasn’t interested in him in any way.

“You what? You’ve got to wash your hair? Paint your toenails? Bathe your dog?”

“I don’t have a dog.”

Sawyer’s sexy dark eyebrow lifted into his hairline, the very corners of his perfect lips tipping upward, and she knew she would give in, even before the words formed in her mouth. But she held on to them for as long as she could.

“One night. I’ll show you. I promise, I won’t even jump you.”

Kennedy prayed her disappointment didn’t show. That was the last thing she needed. If Sawyer realized she was lusting after him, even though she had every reason not to, she’d never live it down.
