Oh yeah, add horny to the list of things she was feeling.
Her chin came up as he closed the door behind him.
Their gazes locked.The air in the tiny room pulsed with hot anger.
The honeymoon period between them was over.
Chapter Seven
“When were you going to tell me you were seeing someone?”
Billy got in the first jab of what felt like was going to be a rip-roaring go-around, but as prepared as Roxie was for a fight, she wasn’t prepared for that.“Seeing someone?”
What the hell was he talking about?
He ripped off his jacket and threw it on the chair in front of her desk.His biceps were bulging in that sexy Harley T-shirt he wore, and the pulse in his neck pounded so hard, she could see it.
And want to lick it.
Damn it.Not fair.
“Roxie,” he said tightly.“You slept with me while you were involved with that white-collar prick?”
White collar…?Oh, sweet jalapeños.“Landers Underhill?Are you nuts?”
It was so damn funny; she would have laughed if she hadn’t been so offended.
“Oh, my God,” she snapped.“He’s Lexie’s brother, on the adopted side.I have nothing to do with him.”
Billy took another step forward, his heavy boots clomping against the pockmarked floor.His hair was mussed, and red slashes colored his cheekbones.“You were reaching for hiscrotch.”
“Because it grosses him out!”Frustrated beyond belief, Roxie rounded her desk.Screw the position of power.She pulled both hands through her hair, ruffling the curls so they were even wilder.“I look like his big sister.I wasn’t making a pass.The haughty jerk needed to be taken down a peg.It was a kiss-off.”
It was Billy’s turn to rake his hand through his hair, leaving brown tufts sticking out this way and that.He turned away, roaming the small office like a caged tiger as his chest rose and fell.“Unbelievable.You have the damnedest way of turning things inside out.”
She wasn’t the only one.
Her foot rocked up and down, her heel digging into the floor.It made her arch scream, and honestly, she felt like letting out a roar.
Crap on a cracker.How had things gotten so out of hand?
“How bad did you mess him up?”she asked.
Billy pivoted on a dime.“So, you do care about his pretty mug.”
Her mouth literally dropped open before snapping closed again.“You’re one to talk, Baby Face.”
Steam practically poured out of Billy’s ears.He’d suffered his share of ribbing for his movie star looks, and it was only getting worse as he grew older.
Or better.
It all depended on who was looking at it, and she’d been looking really closely.
Roxie flung her hands in the air.“Lexie’s going to kill me.Just tell me, was there blood?How much did the television crew catch?”
“Son of a… I didn’t hurt your guy.”
“Ohmigod, he’snot my guy.”
