At the unexpected sight of Spence, Colbie startled hard. How was it that he was the one who needed glasses and yet she__ not seen him standing against the window? __o, I don__ kill a lot of people,_ she said cautiously because she was wearing only a towelin front of a strange man. __ut I__ happy to make an exception.__e laughed, a rough rumble that was more than a little contagious but she controlled herself because, hello, she was once again dripping wet before the man who seemed to make her knees forget to hold her up.__ didn__ mean to scare you,_ he said and pushed off the wall to come close.She froze, but he held up his hands like, I come in peace, and crouched at her feet to scoop up the clothes she hadn__ realized she__ dropped.Leggings, a long forgiving tee, and the peach silk bra-and-panty set that hadn__ gotten so much as a blink from the TSA guy.But it got one out of Spence.

Still, she was horrified she__ said anything at all. __ didn__ mean___he broke off, frozen like a deer in the headlights as Spence slowly lowered his head, brushing his lips over the Band-Aid on her elbow, then her knees. When he lifted his head, he pushed his glasses higher on his nose, those whiskey eyes warm and amused behind his lenses. __etter?__hockingly better. Since she didn__ quite trust her voice at the moment, she gave a jerky nod and took her clothes back into the bathroom.
