“Hey, good-looking,” Dan said, stepping inside. He leaned in to kiss her and she turned her head, allowing him to kiss her on the cheek.
She's still doing chaste kisses to the cheek.
He could tell that the couple weren’t yet aware that they were being stocked as the man moved in to kiss the woman.
She would still have turned away from him.
“It’s just... I’m so completely in lo...”
Now we're talking...
A sob rose in her throat. Kent. The only man who’d ever been truly able to excite her. Had he really been about to say what she thought he’d been about to say when Spenser Spenser’s goons had shown up? He couldn’t have been. Still, it had almost sounded as if he were about to tell her that.... Nah. He wouldn’t have been about to say... that. There was no future there. There were simply too many barriers to overcome. Still, she couldn’t stomach the thought that he wouldn’t be out there somewhere. That she’d never again be able to look at his handsome face or see the spark in his eyes of... whatever it was she saw there when he looked at her. That... something that sent shock waves running through her entire being.
Told ya.
Good, we're right on schedule. Next part they will have a falling out, Dan will beat it when her Irish ex shows up and then we're off to Just Say Noah. You know, ML, once I stopped believing in cliffhangers, it's so much more fun.
Spencer Spencer rolled his eyes. “So what do you think? Think you’d find this body more satisfying?” He almost seemed to be salivating. “After all, how could any woman resist all these muscles?”
She looked down, studying the floor even as a blush rose in her cheeks.
Spencer Spencer obviously noticed her reaction. “Or maybe... you already have taken it around the block a few times.”
She couldn’t quite keep herself from shifting from foot to foot.
“Uhh... so it’s true,” Spencer Spencer said, sounding as if he’d just discovered the best kept secret in Metropolis. “But... don’t the two of you work for different papers? Or, Lane, is this one of your not-so-famous fact-gathering techniques? Seduce the competition?”

PS: This does not mean that I would complain if you posted part 30 now. Or now. How about now? Now? Okay, now it is. Right? Come on it's been *hours* since you posted part 29. So how about you post when you get up Sunday morning?
