t. Men glance at every woman, but they only really eyeball the best ones.
You've got great legs and a fine figure and you don't even come close to
qualifying as plain or ugly. So, unless you're a closet lesbian, why is there no
man in your life?"
Before she could answer, he raised a hand and added, "And if you are a
lesbian, that's something I don't need to know about while we're both working
for the government."
Giving him an amused look, Beth asked, "If I were a lesbian, would that
bother you?"
Shaking his head, Cade said, "Not even a little bit. A couple of my friends
back in Florida are lesbians and we get along just fine. They make stuff for my
online store and use me as an escort now and then."
Beth blinked at him and asked, "An escort?"
"Yeah. One works for a company that throws those damned 'one big happy

With a chuckle, Beth said, "That must be interesting."

to your room with you, Beth. I'd very much like to make love with you."
After a few moments of meeting his gaze, Beth asked, "What about Mandi?"
"She moved to my room to avoid dealing with too many people after she went
public."
Another few moments passed before Beth nodded and quietly asked, "You aren't
into anything kinky, are you?"
With a small grin, Cade asked, "Would kissing my way up your legs be kinky?
Would inhaling the scent of you while I kiss your shoulders be kinky?"
Beth pinked a bit and bit her lip, then said, "No."
"Would pleasuring you with my tongue be kinky?"
Her pink deepened to a near-red, but she said, "No. Of course not."
