“I want you.” Jamie turned over in the cool water and nuzzled at Val’s breast. “I missed you.”
“Yeah, right.”
“I’m serious.”
“Sure.”
“It’s only—”
“Out with it.”
“I just wondered what would be involved in putting in air-condition—”
“Nope. I’m not doing it.”
“But honey, think of the business we’d pull in with air- conditioning.”
“I said no.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“I said okay.”
“I don’t want to spend my filming break putting in air- conditioning.”
“Of course you don’t.” Jamie shifted and then stood up. Water streamed from the body that Val dreamed of every night in her lonely New York apartment.
“Where are you going?”
“Just getting a treat I made earlier.”
“You’re devious.”
“It’s to welcome you home. It’s not a bribe.”
Jamie returned from their bedroom with a single bowl which she handed to Val. It was full of soft, decadently seductive, richly erotic, slightly runny chocolate.
Val inhaled the scent, then scooped up some and offered it to Jamie as she settled into the tub again. Jamie took her time licking Val’s finger clean.
Val said weakly, “Air-conditioning will take a couple of weeks.”
