“Why?”
I snort around my drink. “Because it’s usually not all that good.”
Piper gets a cocky look on her face. It shouldn’t be as cute as it is, but I like it. “Then why don’t you tell me about you?”
I take a hearty sip of my beer. “I walked right into that, didn’t I?”
“You did.” Piper bites into one of the pretzels. “Now, favorite color?”
“Out of all the questions in the world, that’s what you’re asking me?”
“You can tell a lot about a person by their favorite color.”
“If I tell you mine’s black, what does that tell you?”
Piper leans across the table. This close, I can see small flecks of green in her blue eyes. “You’re lying.”
I lean closer. We’re less than a foot apart. I can read Piper like a book. I don’t know how she can tell I’m lying, but I am.
“Fine. It’s red.”
“I see.” She leans back in her chair, sipping on her drink.
“Gathered all you needed to know about me with that one fact?”
“Red means you’re passionate. Ambitious. Need a sense of adventure. Like sex.”
“I’m a man, Piper. Of course I like sex.”
Which now has me thinking of sex. With her. And that damn top that clings to her that is driving me wild. So much for not thinking about her like that.
“Tell me something I don’t know.” She rolls her eyes.
“Okay, fine. How do you know so much about color meanings?” The less I think about sex, the better.
“I like learning about these things. You can tell a lot about a person by their favorite things.”
“What’s yours?”
“Purple.”
“What does that say about you?” I ask.
“We feel deeply. Are compassionate. A good judge of character.”
Hooking my leg around the leg of her chair, I pull her closer toward me. Her eyes widen in shock. Piper’s tongue darts out of her mouth and wets her lip.
What she’s feeling is written all over her face. I don’t want to notice, but I can’t help it. I’m finding I notice everything about Piper.
“What does that good judge of character tell you about me?” My voice is low, husky. It doesn’t hide the way she’s affecting me.
A finger traces the tattoos on my forearm that restsbetween us. Piper looks at my arm and then up at me before repeating the motion.
It’s lust-inducing. Making me chub up in my jeans.
There goes any chance of not thinking about Piper.
Naked.
