teasing you, sweetheart.”
    “Do you like playing with fire?”
    “Darling, I love the heat.”
    “I’d tell you to go to the devil, but I don’t think he’d have you. You’d give him a run for his money.”
    “Rhiannon.”
    She sighed. “I wish you wouldn’t say my name like that.”
    “Like what?” The hand on her waist was joined by its twin, which slid around to the other side so he could hold her in place.
    “Like chocolate covered sin. You ought to be illegal. Go back to the kitchen, sex god. You’re making my barmaids drool, and I can’t afford to lose another one tonight.”
    He laughed and turned her loose. “Okay, okay. Did you take the time for lunch? You’re pale.”
    “No, but I’m fine. I’ll take supper when I can, but not for a while yet. Too much to do.”
    “Make time. You’re no good to anyone if you run yourself down. I expect to see you in my kitchen in ten minutes. The world can bloody well wait on you for a change.”
    When she opened her mouth to protest, he simply pressed a fingertip to her lips to close them.
    “We need to talk. Alone, love.”
    “It will have to wait, Skye. We’re busy.”
    “It’s waited long enough. Ten minutes, or I’ll come back out here, kiss you brainless in front of God and everybody, pick you up and carry you back there myself. Everyone will think we’re having a wild, torrid affair. Don’t argue.” Skye let the thought of doing just that tease him, torment him. Maybe he should. Just lay all the cards out in the open and tell her what he’d been hiding for months. He’d been entertaining fantasies of Rhiannon for a while now. Nothing he’d tried had been able to drown them out. He hadn’t lied to Jack–she was his best friend, but there was more between them than friendship. More than playful banter. He wanted those molten kisses in the dark…heated skin, her sigh whispering into his ear as he sank deep into her warmth.
    “You wouldn’t dare.”
    He leveled a look at her and let his gaze drift down to her mouth. “Oh, I would. Want to find out?”
    “You don’t think of me that way.” Rhia’s pink tongue darted out to lick her lips.
    “What if I do? Do you think of me?”
    “Skye. People are starting to stare.”
    “Are they? I hadn’t noticed. I want to know. Do you?”
    “Yes.”
    Her hand shook in his when he pressed a soft kiss to her ring finger. “Ten minutes, love.” As he walked back to the kitchen, Skye heard her mumble under her breath.
    “I’m not your love.”
    “We’ll see, Rhia. We’ll see.”
    * * * *
    Rhia took her time going back to the kitchen, mainly to aggravate Skye, but partly to see if he’d make good on his promise. Maybe she should take the offensive in their little war. She stopped to check on the Finney brothers. “Good day to you Sean, Seamus.” She inclined her head in a polite nod. “And how is your meal? Need anything?”
    The elder brother blushed and muttered, “Fine, ma’am,” and tucked into his potato soup.
    “My life would be complete if you’d promise your to heart to me, lovely Rhiannon.” Sean waggled his eyebrows, eliciting a laugh from her. He was thirty years her senior if a day.
    “Ah, I’ve already promised it to another, but I can offer you a pint to cure your heartache.”
    “Maybe dessert instead. What’s your Skye got on the menu today?”
    “Apple tarts.”
    “My favorite.”
    “I’ll be back in a minute.” Walking to the end of the bar, Rhia flipped up the pass-through, glanced toward the sound of raised voices coming from the corner table. Thinking of the meal waiting for her, she sighed and walked over to do damage control. First chance she could get, Maegan was so fired.
    “Good evening. Is there a problem?”
    “Yes. This food is cold and your staff is arguing with me about it.” The older woman, clearly a tourist, glared past Rhia’s shoulder at the woman behind her.
    Rhia turned to the waitress. “I’ll handle this, Maegan, but I want to
