Quotes:She lifted her head, clasped the gun with both hands, and took aim. Bam! She swayed back from the recoil, bumping against Carlos’s chest. He steadied her, holding her against him. The paper man shuddered with a hit.“You did it!” Phineas ran up to the counter and pushed the button to activate the pulley that would slide the paper target close to them.“Damn, woman.” Phineas gave her a horrified look. “Remind me never to make you angry.”Caitlyn gasped as the paper came close enough for her to spot the bullet hole with her mortal vision. “Oh dear.”Carlos winced. She’d blasted the man right through his balls. “Well, I think we should be positive about this.”She looked over her shoulder at him with a grateful smile. “That’s what I always say. We should look at the bright side.”Carlos returned her smile. With a small mental jolt he realized his headache was much better. The scent and feel of her was so damned sweet.“There ain’t no bright side,” Phineas objected. “The man’s got no gonads.”“But she hit the target,” Carlos said.“The man has got no gonads,” Phineas repeated forcefully.“It was an accident.” Caitlyn set her gun on the counter. “I was aiming for his chest.”“You blew his pecker into Connecticut,” Phineas muttered.She grinned. “I think you have issues, Phineas. It was only a paper pecker.”“The worst kind,” Carlos added.She regarded him nonchalantly. “What do you eat? Field mice?”He shot her an annoyed look. “No. I’m a big cat. I could take down a horse.”She grimaced. “You eat raw meat?”Lift that skirt a little higher and find out. He flexed his hands on the steering wheel. “I was thinking about stopping at a restaurant. Would you care to join me?”She shifted in the car seat to face him, causing him to glance at her legs once again. “Are you asking me out?”“No.”“Will you purr if I tickle you behind the ears?”“No.”“Will you dance the samba for me in your hot pink sequined thong?”“No.”“Do you always say no?”His mouth twitched. “No.”She sighed and tugged her skirt down a bit. “I’m afraid I was a bit rude.”He shrugged. “No more than usual.”She swatted his shoulder. “I’m not rude! Well, not normally.”“What’s wrong?” Carlos demanded from the hallway.“You,” she muttered.“I heard that. I have super hearing and vision.”“Well, isn’t that just super.” She swiped her hands along the foot of the bed. Hadn’t she left a robe there? “So do you have X-ray vision like Superman? Can you see through the door?”“No.”She enjoyed taunting him. He deserved it. “What a shame. Since I’m standing here stark naked.” She gasped when the door crashed open. Light spilled in from the hallway, surrounding his tall frame. “You pervert!”He scoffed. “You lied.”“You broke my door!”“Only the lock. The door still works.”
