her eye when she brought the conversation back to the current event.
The Lady was playful. Jai liked that.
“If we have to wait for the ghost to flit through again,” Garth said, “we might as well get comfortable and enjoy the company.”
Garth really had invested himself. Jai accepted he had some serious competition here.
“I appreciate that.” She dabbed the corner of her pretty mouth with her napkin.
“There’s definitely a paranormal presence in the house.” She gestured with her napkin then ran a finger around the top of her wine glass. “But it’s best to let it make itself known to me when it feels like it.”
“And they always show themselves to you, it’s intriguing.” Jai was fascinated with her talent. Anything unique drew him like a glittery thing called to a magpie. He was all about edgy and new experiences.
She sipped her wine then nodded as she put the glass down. “Oh, there was this one occasion. The ghost didn’t reveal itself to me for two days. I think that the client, a mature lady, had begun to think I was only there for her wonderful post-world war Britain childhood stories and her lemon drizzle cake.” She paused. “It was good cake though, and eventually her resident spirit made an appearance.”
Jai was willing to bet the lady she spoke of had enjoyed Faye’s company. He certainly enjoyed it and Garth obviously did too. The good food and the wine had mellowed the mood, but the sensual indulgences heightened the sexual tension, just as Jai knew they would.
Faye had harnessed his curiosity as soon as he saw her on the doorstep. Although she had a Bohemian sense of style she seemed very grounded and practical, which was a curious mix. Most of all, her responsive nature beckoned to him. The woman had an obvious sensual appreciation of everything around her, and he was dying to know what was going on in her www.total-e-bound.com

thoughts. She kept looking at both of them as if running some inner commentary, and he would have paid highly to know what she was thinking.
Her lower lip was full, and it made Jai want to kiss and suck her mouth, to enjoy the wine on her lips. He wondered what she would look like naked. His gaze drifted over her torso and he hardened, because he could picture her sitting astride him. He had the feeling she would look elegantly elfin even while shagging.
She seemed to sense his thoughts had wandered into the arena of sexuality, because she stirred her fork above her plate and looked his way with heavy lidded eyes. Did her psychic powers run to reading minds, or was she just attuned to the erotic suggestion between them? It wasn’t something he’d considered. This was one sexy lady.
It was time to edge things forward.
“I’m curious. You thought we were partners in a relationship. Did you really think we were gay?”
“Yes, I’m curious about that as well,” Garth said, “do we really look like a gay couple to you?”
Faye’s mouth twitched at one corner. “Actually, I didn’t think you were gay. More like bisexual.” She lifted her glass and sipped from it again, eyeing them over the edge as she did so.
Jai knew an aroused woman when he saw one, and she was enjoying this. “Go on.”
She shrugged, and her eyelids lowered as she focused on her glass in the table. Still the smile hovered around her mouth.
“Tell us why you thought that,” Jai encouraged. “More to the point, tell us why that interested you so much.”
Her eyelids flashed up and she stared across at him, her lips parted as she addressed the undertone in his questioning.
She was about to spill. He was sure he was on the right path and he had this hunch about what was going on in her mind.
“You’re a forthright woman,” he added. “You told Garth here he hadn’t done his research on this place.” Jai nodded his head in Garth’s direction.
