Donna Kauffman – Simon Says... (страница 10)

“Have you ever used your gun?”

“What?” If she’d simply be consistent for more than five minutes, maybe he’d get a handle on this situation, on her, but she was dashedly quixotic. “I believe I did, earlier.”

“I don’t mean waving it around. Have you ever shot … anything?”

“I wasn’t waving it about, I was aiming it. At you.”

She shivered. “Yes, I haven’t forgotten that part. But that’s not what I asked.”

“If you’re trying to insinuate that because I haven’t shot at anything, that I’m somehow a kinder, gentler thief—”

“Recovery specialist,” she corrected him, the barest hint of mockery in her voice.

“The use of a firearm is hardly an accurate measure of the man wielding it. And why in bloody hell are we having this conversation?” He stalked to the other corner of the room, opened the bar fridge, then realized it was far too early in the day for a drink, and slapped it shut again. “We have business to attend. No more tomfoolery.”

“No, we wouldn’t want any more of that.”

He raked a hand through his hair, swore under his breath, then walked back to the bed and forced himself to sit calmly on the edge, his knees inches now from hers. How was it she could so frustrate him … and yet all he could think, even now, when he looked at her, was how she’d look bound to the bedposts instead of that chair. Writhing, those too-soft curves of hers, straining against—”We need to discuss the plan,” he said, abruptly.

“The plan,” she repeated, unfazed by his harsh tone.

“The … recovery plan.”

“Ah.”

He lifted an eyebrow. “I didn’t throw the gun away, you know.”

“I doubted I’d be that lucky.”

He wanted nothing more than to kiss that too-knowing look right off her face. Would serve her right, possibly even shock her into some much needed silence. Her feminine wiles seemed to be the only weapon she didn’t realize she had.
