When his fingertip meets her stockinged leg, she can't fight the compulsion to watch it until it comes to a stop at her knee.
This isn't like any flirtation she's ever had. Some of the differences are more obvious than others, but how often has she been on the verge of whatever the hell this is with someone she's known for this long? And who she's been attracted to -- despite everything -- for so damn long? How often does she get something like this that's unrehearsed and unplanned and unprofessional and reciprocated with time for it to actually go somewhere?
Almost never.
It puts her in a strange situation. There's a desire to fall into the coyly seductive role that she's embraced for years, enjoying it at least as much as she's bemoaned it, and there's the desire to act purely on gut instincts.
And if they could, those gut instincts would have her grabbing Gren and running from him at the same time.
"And a couple of other nights here, too?" The night she met him wasn't the only time he made that claim to her, but what she does do is smile and answer his question, pleased and barely trying to hide it. "I think that'll do."
