Scarlet Nights (Edilean 3)
“Yeah? So where does he work out?”
“I don’t know. Gyms have never been of interest to me.”
Mike held up her arm, which was slim but had no discernible muscle. “I can see that.”
“Are you saying that I’m—”
Mike kissed her to silence, his hand on her breast.
Sara leaned back against him.
“Are there any contests for skills of agility?” he asked.
“Like the rope jumping?” She was teasing him.
“I can do that,” Mike said.
“You’re outclassed there too. Anna Aldredge, Kim’s little sister, will win that. She placed third in the national championships.”
“Does she need a partner?”
“She’s twelve and a brat.”
“I like bratty females.”
“I need time to tell you about all the events so maybe I should—”
“No,” Mike said yet again.
“What if Greg shows up here while you’re gone?”
“He can’t, because he’s under lock and key, and his cell mate is an FBI agent. Vandlo will be let out this coming weekend and we’re sure he’ll run here to Edilean—straight to you. By the time he gets here, everyone will know who I am, thanks to the games. I think we should wait until Vandlo is he

“And to go to the gym with me?”
She was kissing his eyelids, her breasts just touching his chest. “Luke said you do squats with so many forty-five-pound plates that the bar bends. Is that true?”
“I guess so. I never thought about it. I’ll start you on just a couple of light plates and—”
Sara didn’t want to argue but she was not going to lift weights. She moved her hand under the water to between his legs. “Remember when I said I was teachable?”
He didn’t smile but the dimple appeared in his cheek. “I’m willing to learn whatever you’re teaching.”
She was kissing him while her hand fondled him below. “I’ll do my best.”
She heard the tub begin to drain. Mike had released the valve with his foot.
“I’m up for it,” he said.
“I can see that you are.”
