Tease Me by Melissa Schroeder

raised her voice. A glance around the department told
her she had gained the attention of the few people shopping that
late at night.
    Maryanne slipped around his buggy.
“I thought guys like you only shopped on post.”
    Something that looked like guilt
moved over his face before he hid it. Great, now he was coming up
with a lie and they weren’t even involved. What the hell was wrong
with her? This is what she found attractive. The perfectly nice
accountant she had dated a few months earlier never lied to her but
she just lost interest, mainly because he was perfectly
boring.
    “I had some work, which I’m sure
you did too?” he said, his smile returning.
    She did not want him smiling at
her. She needed him pissed at her, being mean to her, and staying
away from her. When he was smiling like that it just made her want
to scream. And kiss him. She really, really wanted to kiss
him.
    “And you decided to drive all the
way over here to Universal City to shop at the HEB? Isn’t there one
closer to post?”
    He nodded. “This one is closer to
my apartment.”
    Oh, so not good.
    “Don’t tell me you live at the Live
Oak Apartments.”
    “I sure do. Just moved in two weeks
ago.”
    She narrowed her eyes as she
studied him. Growing up as the only sister of three older brothers
made her very good at detecting bullshit.
    He seemed to be telling the truth,
but there was that moment before that made her nervous. Worse, she
wanted to believe him. Wanted to have him living near her so she
could flirt with him, maybe kiss him…
    Dammit.
    She had no other choice than to
chase him away.
    “Listen, this might work with a lot
of other women, but I don’t like stalkers.” She practically yelled
it. He wore no expression on his face so she decided to get out
before he could retort. Grabbing her cart, she hurried
away.
    Damn, she really did need to get a
life.
