That could take a
helluva lot of getting used to at this point in my life, you know. Could you be
maybe just a little more specific, Mandi?"
Glancing up with another chuckle and smile, Mandi said, "Nothing quite that
outrageous. You're being upgraded, that's all. You'll be bulletproof or close to
it. Stronger. Faster. Like that. Don't worry, you won't need a new wardrobe, as
much as that may actually be a good idea."
Her grinning gaze traveled from his boots to his shirt as he said, "I'm
going to let your sartorial commentary pass. What did you do to me to make this
-- change --happen?"
Chuckling around some potato, Mandi said, "I didn't do anything to you. You
did it to me." Sticking her tongue out at him and waggling it, she pulled it
back in and said, "Like that."
Sitting on the end of the bed, Cade watched her fork up another bit of steak
as he tried to figure out what the hell she was telling him. Like what? Was she
saying she'd given him some kind of disease? All he'd done was lick her silly in
the shower. How could doing that..? He felt like checking his tongue in the
bathroom mirror.
