She sighed. “Tony was a neighbor and part of my parents’ church growing up, and they love him. He’s back in town for a few months, and my father’s fixated on the idea of us dating.”
“And you don’t want that?”
She scoffed. “Do I want to date someone who smells like onions and whose favorite topic of conversation is insurance? No.”
Becket hadn’t smelled any onions, but then, Sky had been flush against his side, so all he’d smelled was her. “He sounds like a catch.”
“He makesyoulook like a million bucks.”
Becket chuckled. He did that a lot around her. “You really know how to make a man feel special.”
“Don’t pretend you like this any more than me.”
“Depends. How much are you liking this?”
She squirmed in his arms. “The only reason you’re dancing with me is because I told you I wouldn’t put up the fence.”
It was definitely one perk. Not the only one though.
He swiped the back of her hand with his thumb and swore he felt a shudder roll down her spine. “Okay, if we’re dating, we need to get some facts straight.”
“Why? This is just a one-night thing.”
“No. I’m coming to your dinner Friday night.”
“No, you’re not.”
“Yes, I am. I was invited.”
“No. You were asked if you were coming.”
“Same thing.”
“It is not the same thing. I’ll tell them you’re sick.”
“What if your parents come up to me after this dance and want to talk about us?”
Her frown deepened, like she knew that was a possibility. “What facts do we need to get straight?”
“How many times a week do we have sex?”
She spluttered and tried to pull away, but he gripped her waist so tightly she didn’t get an inch of space.
“My parents wouldnotask you about our sex life,” she gasped.
“No, but Horndog Tony might.”
He got a twitch of her lips from that one. “Fine. Three times a week.”
His brows rose.
“What?” she asked.
“You really think you could resist me four nights a week?”
She rolled her eyes. “Here I was thinking three was too many.”
He could have laughed again. Instead, he slowly dipped his head, his lips almost brushing her ear. “I have a feeling, one night together and neither of us would be able to wait very long for the next.”
