Оглавление“You’re not really planning to walk home with me.”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Alia continued shrugging into her shoulder holster.
Landry swallowed hard. He’d never been drawn to needy women, and Alia was a prime example why. She damn well protected herself, and he found that way sexier than a damsel in distress.
Beads of sweat were gathering across his skin, and they made his voice thick, even though he tried to hide it with teasing. “What’s the plan? If we get mugged, you’ll hold them off while I run for help?”
Her gaze was warm and heated him from the inside out. “I don’t know how fast you can run.”
“Doesn’t matter. I only have to be able to outrun you.”
She smirked. “Not likely. I’ll tell you what, if we get mugged, I’ll handle the bad guys. Then you can thank me later.”
He knew exactly what form he would want that thank-you to take. Blocking the image from his mind, he snorted. “I think getting to kick bad-guy butt in front of me would be reward enough for you.”
