“Soldiers?”
“Sometimes.”
“I do construction when it suits me.”
She stayed silent, not sure what to say next.
“You’re the be-all-and-end-all of the project and say who qualifies?” he asked.
“Yes. I’m amazed at how much time it’s taking to set it up.”
He crossed his arms. He had nice forearms, lightly dusted with dark hair. Very nice forearms. “You’re the photographer, too?”
“No. We have a photographer lined up, though. I’m just the chairperson for the charity and said I’d volunteer to find the men. I locate guys who have good form.”
“What if you pick someone who hasn’t got good form?”
She crossed her arms, mimicking him in stance deliberately. It seemed right and defensible. “I’m a woman. I know a good-looking man when I see one.”
“Women’s tastes don’t vary?”
“Of course.” Exasperation colored her voice. “But…God, I can’t believe we’re even talking about this at a time like this.”
“What should we be talking about? World peace?”
She wrinkled her nose. “Now you’re being sarcastic.”
“Yeah. I am.”
The challenge in his voice stimulated her in a way she didn’t wish to acknowledge. She’d rarely liked sparing with a man verbally, but Mitch made her want to wrestle him to be right. A weird excitement danced in her belly, vibrating outward until she couldn’t tell if it was leftover fear from the robbery or if this man somehow created this feeling within her.
Ludicrous.
For a moment her imagination went wacky, and she visualized rolling over and over with him on a plush bed with lots of pillows. Naked. Heat rose inside her at the silly thought. As if.
