Bennett scanned the room for any reactionary tells from the women—a sheepish look, an embarrassed blush. Nada.
Damn.
“I can’t believe I’m telling you this.”
His ears perked up.
“Bratwursts. I really love fire-grilled bratwursts with tons of ketchup and mustard and relish on those supersoft store-bought buns that just melt from all the brat juices because they’re made up of more air than flour.”
Well, that was unexpected. And really freaking cute. Especially since she was whispering the hushed statement as if she were disclosing a national secret.
Bennett was now down to one final question and just under a minute left on the clock. It was time to bring out the big guns.
“Last question.” He ran his eyes over the handful of women he considered the strongest likely candidates, and asked, just barely loud enough for the two of them to hear, “Favorite position?”
A charged pause followed.
And then a shy, “Something tells me you’re not talking about football.”
For once, the sport was the last thing on his mind. “Definitely not.”
Two of his finalists were eliminated not long after.
About the same time a brand-new contender stole his rapt attention.
With less than twenty seconds left, instead of prodding Mia for her answer, he supplied her with his own. “In case you’re wondering, I like the missionary position.”
A startled, breathy little, “Oh,” was her only reply.
“Well, standing missionary,” he clarified, his voice a low rasp that sounded every bit as affected as he felt. “Up against a wall. So I can look directly into her eyes when she loses control. Or better yet, without a wall…so I can watch her ride me until I lose control.”
Bennett came to a soundless halt.
Time was up.
And she was more beautiful than even he had anticipated.
