Chapter 34: Under the Sheets

"Selene." He couldn't help but look her up and down, focusing on her slightly distressed band T-shirt and sleep shorts, probably too small to notice under a much baggier shirt. "May I?"

She wasn't sure whether it was a social call or he wanted to talk about business, so the bartender decided to settle for seating on the small sofa closer to the window. The chef followed her example, taking his place right near her. Their thighs were brushing, his still clad in tight jeans, hers bare, shorts barely reaching Selene's upper thighs.

"I wished to talk with you." Selene knew better than to interrupt him when the chef was actually in the mood to talk. "I recognize that my behavior was hardly acceptable."

"It was not pleasant, yes."
