Excerpt
he propped her chin on her fist, and peered at him, brow furrowed. "Is it true what you said, about not wanting to get tied down, so you can be free to enjoy any woman you want?"
"I’d say it is until I meet the right woman. She could ask me for the moon and stars, and I would happily to give her that and more."
"Including your heart? Your faithfulness?” She scoffed. “That sounds like a line to me.”
“And you sound like a cynic. Why don’t you believe I could be true to the woman I loved?”
“Your reputation precedes you, Bad Boy of Russian figure skating.”
The role-play was starting to crack. “Maybe I’m ready to change.”
"Yeah, right. I’ve heard that song a few times.”
He stilled. “And you’ve been hurt?”
Her gaze hardened. “Never. But I’ve seen it happen to others. Personally, I haven't given anyone the chance."
Something besides skating pressure had given rise to the Ice Queen. And though he was intensely curious as to what that might be, she’d turned back to her drink, savoring every sip as though she’d never have another. When it was gone, she gave him a bright, playful smile. True confessions were over, and the blue-haired fem-bot just wanted to have fun.
