““I'd remind you of that restaurant around the corner except..." His gaze flicked over the robe that dipped deep at her breasts and skimmed her thighs. "You'd have to get dressed." Shelby smiled, a slow invitation, but when he took a step toward her, she dunked bread into the batter. "Get a plate." He reached into the cupboard she indicated, then drew two plates out before he came to stand behind her. Leaning over, he brushed his lips below her ear, pleased with the quick tremor of response. "The ones I burn," Shelby warned, "are all yours.””
