"Sinners," Oliver said.
"'Fraid so," she said more softly.
"Can you make it to the housewarming?"
"I don't think so."
"Damn. What are you doing?"
"I've got a book," she said.
"Aha. Romance. A blonde hulk who will carry you away." Oliver was
looking levelly into her eyes.
A small smile turned the corners of her mouth down. "I'm waiting for
someone my size." They were in her office. Oliver registered that it
was very warm. He saw her shudder and give in to a wave of longing. Her
lips parted and her breasts lifted. He reached for her in slow motion
and stopped himself just before he touched her.
