her throat. “And I don’t want
you to go yet.” Daniel gave a snort that could have been disgust or amusement,
even he wasn’t sure which, and Matthew shot him a narrow look. “If you’re so
determined to make up lost time, why don’t we order sandwiches and eat here?”
    Daniel flipped his hand at the phone, aiming for
nonchalance. “Whatever it takes to get this done.”
    Matt strode to the desk and picked up the phone, only to
stop and look at it blankly. “Well, hell.”
    “What is it?” Shannon had moved up behind him, sliding her
hands under his jacket to flatten on his abdomen, stroking over the silk of his
shirt. Daniel couldn’t help the hungry way his eyes followed her wandering
fingers.
    “Carrie’s gone, and I have no fucking idea where she calls
out to for lunch.”
    When Matthew sent him a questioning look, Daniel shrugged
and said, “Don’t look at me. I’m just a visitor.”
    Shannon burst out laughing and shoved Matthew out of the
way. “You poor little rich boys.” Rooting through the desk drawers, she dug out
a phone book. “I’m middle class enough to know how to use a phone book.”
    Ignoring the twin looks of irritation being sent her way,
Shannon flipped through the yellow pages until she found a restaurant that
delivered deli-style sandwiches, and called in their order.
    To Daniel’s surprise, lunch went amazingly well. Shannon was
new to the area, but she was incredibly intelligent, and made several fresh
observations about the final property he and Matt had to discuss. She was also
funny and warm, and managed to defuse most of the tension between him and
Matthew. Daniel found himself imagining Shannon naked and on her knees in front
of him. She had an incredible mouth and he was a little envious at the easy way
she interacted with Matt.
    After much discussion, Matthew chose to commit to the first
property they’d discussed, a building site in Traverse City. Daniel had just
begun to relax and enjoy the lunch and the company when Matthew apparently
decided work time was done, and it was now time to play.
    “Come here.” Matt playfully crooked a finger at Shannon, who
already sat close beside him. Sliding his chair out from the desk, he urged her
to her feet before guiding her onto his lap. Daniel could all but feel her soft
heat against his own body.
    “Sandwich good?” Matthew leaned forward and licked a dab of
mustard from her full lower lip, and she nodded her agreement.
    “Very good.” She returned the favor, licking a non-existent
dab of dressing from Matt’s mouth. Leaning back against his chest, she looked
over at Daniel. “Are you enjoying your lunch?”
    Her eyes were asking an entirely different question than her
words, but he forced himself to ignore it. God save him from little children
who wanted to play at being naughty and had no idea the tiger they tempted.
    “The sandwich is fine.” He’d kept his face expressionless,
so he couldn’t really understand the satisfied smile that crept across her
face.
     
    “Good.” She glanced down at her empty plate. “But I’m still
hungry.” She pouted prettily up at Matthew, who immediately picked something up
from the desk.
    “Wanna bite of my pickle?” He brushed the sour treat over
her bottom lip, pulling it back when she went to take a bite and laughing as
she followed it before catching it in her teeth. Instead of biting down,
Shannon slowly sucked the veggie between shiny pink lips, and winked at Matthew
when Daniel shifted restlessly.
    Thoroughly enjoying herself, Shannon rose from Matthew’s lap
and swayed around the desk, collecting the abandoned cups and wrappers. She made
a point to lean in close as she gathered Daniel’s trash, breathing in his scent
and tempting him with her own. When she saw his fist clench on the arm of his
chair, she considered her job done for the moment, and turned to dispose of the
refuse.
    She couldn’t believe how badly she wanted him to make a
move. Any move. It
