Moira just quirked an eyebrow at him. “I don’t think that Katie was up to facing big brother yet.”
“What does that mean? What happened?” Gil demanded and then frowned as Moira just laughed at
him. “You better tell me, baby. Other wise I will feel compelled to go hunt up baby sister and confront
her myself.”
Moira scowled at her fiancé. “Sometimes you can be such an ass, Gil.”
“Ahh…, but you love my ass, baby. Now be a good girl and tell me.”
“You have to promise me something first, Gil.” When he raised his eyebrow at her she sighed deep.
“I mean it, Gil. I want your word that you will let her be for now.”
“Is it that bad?” This was from a now very interested Ben.
Moira ignored him and kept her attention on Gil. “Your word, Gil, or my lips are sealed.” She let her
eyes roam down his broad chest to his lap with clear intent. “And I do mean sealed.”
Gil just grinned and leaned close to where she sat beside him. “I bet I could get you to open them.”
He ran his hand up her thigh and let his fingers lightly graze the lips of her sex through her shorts. “I
bet I could make you open real wide for me.” The last was said on a husky sigh.
Moira leaned even closer and whispered in his ear. “Promise me and I’ll let you do anything you
want tonight.” She licked and nipped at his earlobe. “You can even bring your cuffs into the
bedroom.”
Gil leaned back and grinned that sexy grin that always made her toes curl. He had been trying to talk
her into letting him cuff her to the bed for the last month. It was one of his fantasies, to have her body
completely at his control. She had planned to let him do it anyway, but he didn’t need to know that.
“Tonight?”
“Your word, Gil.”
“Why do I feel like I’ve missed way too much of the good part of this conversation?” Ben asked dryly
from across the table.
They both continued to ignore him.
“All right. You have my word, baby. Just remember that I’ll be home by seven and I’ll expect you to
be ready.”
Moira leaned forward and kissed him again, just a light tease of her lips on his. “I’ll be more than
ready. I’ll be eager.”
Gil’s eyes went smoky with promise and Moira shivered.
“Maybe I should just excuse myself and have my lunch elsewhere.” Ben said.
Moira turned to him and grinned wickedly. “Now where would be the fun in that? Besides I’m just
getting to telling you about Katie.”
Ben shrugged but Moira was well aware that there was something between Ben and Katie. She
knew that Katie had a thing for him and if she could still trust in her own instincts, she was pretty
sure that he felt something for Katie as well. This conversation should show her just how much.
“Katie was a little late getting into work this morning.”
“That’s not like Katie. She’s always at least five to ten minutes early.”
“Well, she said that she must have forgotten to set the alarm but when she arrived she looked very
relaxed and well rested physically.”
Gil frowned. “What the hell is that suppose to mean?”
Ben compressed his lips and said nothing. Now wasn’t that interesting.
“It means that Katie looked a lot like I do when I wake up after a night with you.”
Gil’s frown turned into a scowl. “You think my baby sister is seeing someone.”
“No, Gil, I think that Katie is having sex.”
“Then she must be seeing someone. I haven’t seen her with anyone. Have you?” He looked toward
Ben.
Ben just shook his head and kept his mouth firmly shut.
“It’s no big deal, Gil. Katie is a grown woman. Besides she said that it was just a one night stand and
didn’t really mean anything.”
“What?!!” Ben and Gil both exploded from the table.
Moira just grinned up at them and shook her head. “Now. Now. Now. You gave your word, Gil.
Besides, I think that it’s great that Katie is getting on with her life. I’ve been really worried about her
since the shooting.”
Gil’s eyes softened as he looked at the woman sitting at the table. She was alive and she was his.
And it was all because Katie had done what he hadn’t been there to do. He would gladly overlook
anything for Katie. He sat back down and took Moira’s hand in his. “You’re right, baby. I just don’t
want to see her hurt, that’s all.”
“I’m sure she’ll be fine. Besides, I don’t think that it’s possible for meaningless sex to hurt you.”
Ben was shaking he was so furious. A one night stand. Didn’t mean anything. Meaningless sex! He
couldn’t wait to get his hands on Katie. He would probably choke her. No he would probably throw
her down and fuck her until she admitted that he was more than a one night stand. Turning on his
heel he stormed out of the diner.
“Where do you think he is going?” Gil asked.
“I’m not sure.” Moira murmured, but she was smiling. Oh, she had a really good idea of where he
was going and she had a feeling that Katie’s one night stand had just turned very furious. Throwing
her head back Moira laughed while Gil looked at her with questioning eyes.
