Emma raised
an incredulous brow. “This is not a caravan,
Sean. I’m simply preparing the place for
the first small group.”
He sighed
and rolled his eyes heavenward as if looking for help from above. “Emma,” he finally said, his face settling
into an expression somewhere between exasperation and kindness. “You can’t just pick a strike force of
teenagers to test your new toys and lift the heavy boxes for you!”
“Why not?” she shrugged.
“They’re on summer break anyway.
Not like they’re going to run off and see their family. Not most of them anyway.” She made a negligent gesture with her hand as
if to wipe the cold words away.
Sean raised
a brow as she crossed to him in long, languid strides, the fine fabric of her
day dress shifting and showing curves and planes that he sorely wished were not
covered by the pale cream material.
Shaking himself from his unwanted reverie, he regarded her with a stern
look. “Emma, they’re teenagers, not
hired hands.”
Emma folded
her arms, standing mere inches away from him.
Her stilettos made them almost the same height, making her suddenly feel
short when she realized just how much taller he was than her in stocking
feet. She tilted her chin to one side
and raised the other brow to join the first.
“If I recall, you like testing toys, don’t you, Sean?” She lifted one pale hand and traced her
neatly manicured nail down his jaw.
He
recoiled. “Too far,
Emma. Stay out of my fantasy
life.” He knew that he was blushing
furiously but he did not look away.n stn style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She
merely smiled slowly and nodded once.
“Fair
enough,” she replied casually, shrugging as if it meant noting to her. Charles would kill her, she thought, when he
realized what she had done, not simply skimming thoughts as he had told her she
might do but delving deeply into Sean’s mind, picking out that which he
desired, assuring herself even as she lied to herself about her reasons for
doing so. “I’ll stay out of your
thoughts. Just don’t be so transparent.” She patted his cheek and stepped away,
turning to cross to the mantle where she had left a folder full of paperwork,
mostly lists but some of it of a more political importance. “I have a meeting with the Board of Education
in Boston on Wednesday, two days
away…” She flipped through the papers
and smiled to herself. “Piece of cake. The
school is opening as a branch of this main campus so most of the paperwork is
in place in terms of running a home based school or private academy. All that I really need to do is meet with the
health inspectors and demonstrate that I am a competent person.” She felt rather than heard Sean’s soft
laugh. “No comments from the peanut
gallery.”
“I wouldn’t
dare dream,” Sean mutteredan san style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He did let
his eyes travel down the curve of her throat, though coming to rest atop the
creamy swell of breast peeking through the buttons in her strained sun
dress. _Maybe a little, _ he
amended.
“Stop
staring at my breasts and listen to me,” she snapped, her hands fisting in
preparation to strike him. “I am leaving
today for Boston. I’ll take Todd, Lance and Kurt with me.
