“Just a bit? You know I would scare the pants off him.” It was not common for her to admit that she had any possessiveness over people, but Todd was different. He was hers in a way that meant sense to only the two of them. “If he comes here, he will have a very displeased woman to deal with.”
“You, flashy, never!” The sarcasm was loud in clear as she chuckled. Leaning for her glass, she poured it to a high level and handed him the glass. “I’ll drink from the bottle. Think nothing of it, how many times have you harbored me when it was me in trouble.”
“I meant no insult to your capacity to terrorize, dear. And believe me, I look forward to seeing how quickly you can skin a man without laying naught but a gaze on him.” He took his glass from her when she offered it, grateful that she knew him well enough to know he would need a long drink after a day like he’d been having.
“I could also go and fetch you your own glass, given I’ve so rudely imposed on you. Or does an open wine bottle in hand help with the intimidation factor?”
