the night before, but he swiftly yanked them away and winked as he picked up the camcorder. She
blushed. What was she thinking, allowing him to tape her? Now he’d see all her flaws on that big screen
television downstairs. She’d be devastated. But Jay only kissed her and ushered her down the stairs,
intent on watching the movie they’d created together. They just happened to be as naked as the day they
were born.
As Jay got her to the living room, the phone rang. He handed her the camera and went to the kitchen to
answer it. He was in there awhile and she wasn’t sure what to do with herself. She also wanted to know
who he was talking to, but didn’t think he’d appreciate her intrusion.
She busied herself by fiddling with the camera and searching through the entertainment cabinet for the
cords which would hook the camera to the television. Haley found what she needed and went to work
turning things on. After locating the two remote controls that worked the television and the video camera,
she went to the couch to wait. Just as she was about to give up on him and get dressed, he reappeared.
Jay had made them hot chocolate again. She found that curiously tender for such a hard man. He moved
toward her and handed her a cup, but she only sat there, staring at his deliciously naked body. She
couldn’t get the image of him in the kitchen, making her a sweet treat, all while wearing no clothes, out of
her head. Wow. Now, she really wished she’d given in to her curiosity and gone into the kitchen. What a
lovely show that would have been.
“You keep staring at it and it’s liable to grow…even more.”
Haley coughed and grabbed her cup from his hand. He chuckled, which made her want to smack him.
When he saw the remotes on the coffee table, the mirth in his eyes turned to desire. Good lord, the man’s
blue eyes were lethal. They truly should be illegal.
“We all set for the show?” he asked casually, as if they were about to watch some silly sit-com.
“Yes, but be warned, I don’t think I photograph well,” she cautioned, hoping he wouldn’t be too
disappointed when he saw her on Brad’s widescreen. “And don’t forget the camera adds ten pounds.”
He came around the table and sat beside her, then pulled her in close so she nestled into the crook of his
arm. Holding his mug of hot chocolate in the other hand, Jay kissed her on the cheek, charming her all
over again. “Don’t you forget I’ve seen everything in real-time and from my vantage point you’ve got
some very sexy parts. No video is going to change that.”
“Oh. Well, thank you.”
He laughed and shook his head. “There’re those polite manners again.”
