Excerpt:
She rustled some papers in front of her. βI left a few letters on your desk that need your signature.β
Her eyes kept flickering back and forth to him and she was biting her lip. It was obvious she wanted to say something else.
βWhat?β He folded his arms across his chest. βWhat is it?β
She tilted her head. βI noticed a few things in your officeβ¦β
βSuch as?β
She spun her chair around so she was facing him, her arm brushing against his knee. There was a mischievous glint in her eye as she counted things off on her fingers. βSuch as the Captain Picard figure next to your computer. The signed picture of Leonard Nimoy. The framed Firefly script on the wall, next to the Star Wars cast photo.β She leaned forward, βBut what I really want to know is, is that a genuine Star Trek communicator youβve got in the glass case?β
Unexpected. Totally left field. A fellow sci-fi freak. Fantastic.
This woman just got better and better.
He laughed. βYouβre every guyβs dream date, arenβt you?β
She started playing with the top button on her shirt, deliberately twiddling it between her finger and thumb, almost as if she were about to undo itβ¦ βWell, is it?β
He leaned forward. βYou mean you didnβt try and pry the glass apart to see?β
βOf course I did. Any self-respecting Trekkie would.β She held up a finger to reveal a slightly bent nail. βUnfortunately I didnβt have my sonic screwdriver with me.β
He wiped his brow in mock relief. βThank goodness. You have no idea what I had to do to get that.β He lifted his eyebrows, βOr who I had to operate on.β
Her eyes widened, the excitement clearly visible. βSpill,β she demanded.
He shook his head. βOh no. My lips are sealed. I could tell you, but then Iβd need to kill you with my genuine from-the-set light saber.β
She let out a shriek and jumped up from her seat. βYou havenβt?β
βI have.β
βLukeβs or Darth Vaderβs?β
He winked. βI could tell you, but Iβd have to kill you.Β Hollywood secrets.β
There was something so nice about this. Someone else who appreciated his love of all things sci-fi. And this wasnβt some ploy to try and endear herself to him. No woman could possibly know all these things without being a true fellow fan.Β Finally someone he could talk to about who was the best Star Trek captain, and which was the best Star Wars film.
The last woman heβd dated had given an obvious shiver of distaste when sheβd seen his collection – the kind that made him feel like a high school geek. Not the most romantic turn-on in the world.
Selena collapsed into the chair next to him and threw her hands in the air. βIf youβre not going to share, Iβll let you know right now Iβll find a way of making you talk.β
He laughed. βTold you, my lips are sealed.β
She shook her head. βI should be finishing up. Iβm getting tired and want to get home and to bed.β She shot him a sideways glance. βHome to watch my favorite episode of Star Trek with the Borg.β
He tried not to grin. He couldnβt resist, no matter how hard he tried. βDo you always go to bed early, Selena? You donβt strike me as the type.Β βThe smell of her perfume was drifting into his nostrils. It was sultry. Something sensuous and spicy.Β Their gaze met. That green again. Even in this dim light it was impressive. Kind of like the eyes you would expect on a temptress or a siren, wooing men in just by looking at them. He couldnβt stop smiling around her.
Nor could he stop the range of X-rated thoughts he was having about her.
Helen would kill me. Twice, without a second thought.
Then there was the fact she was paying off a bill and the fact sheβd told him sheβd just been dumped by her boyfriend. The last thing he wanted was a rebound fling.
But he wasnβt listening. Not at all.
There was a glint of fire in her eyes and a devilish grin on her face. She was an experienced woman. She definitely knew the art of flirtation. βWhat do I strike you as?β
He felt an instant response in his bodyβone that was entirely inappropriate for their surroundings. Since when did she sound so husky? Boy, she was good.
