"How can you eat that?" she asked. "It's nothing but flavored sugar."
"Yes, but it's good sugar."
She wrinkled her nose at him.
Talon gave her a wicked grin. "You know the best way to eat these, don't you?"
She shook her head.
He pulled Snoopy's head back and took the small square out with his fingers. He held it up to her lips. "Bite down gently on it and hold it between your teeth."
She hesitated, then obeyed.
For a full second, Talon watched her sitting there naked with the cube between her teeth. Then, he leaned forward and used his tongue to pry it loose.
Sunshine moaned at the taste of him combined with the sugar. Opening her mouth, she gave him a long, hot kiss. "Now, that was nice."
"Worth polluting your system for?"
"Umm-hmm," she breathed, running her fingertip along his jaw.
Once all the Pez were gone, she picked up the Snoopy dispenser and looked at it. "This seems so out of character for you, Mr. Tough Man. I find it hard to believe a guy who can fight off six criminals single-handedly would haul around a Peanuts Pez."
He brushed her black hair back from her shoulder and let his hand linger in the strands. "Actually, I collect the dispensers. This one is a vintage 1969 one."
"Really?"
He nodded.
She looked at it again. "Is it worth much?"
"A couple hundred dollars."
"No kidding?"
"No kidding."
"Wow. And I almost fed it to the washing machine."
He laughed at that. "I'm glad you didn't. Me and Snoopy go way back."
He took Snoopy from her hands and set it on the coffee table. When he turned back to face her, the gleam in his eye was one she'd become quite familiar with.
"Are you really sore?" he asked.
All things considered, she should be, but his touch was so gentle that she wasn't. "I'm not. You?"
"Never better."
He leaned back on the floor and pulled her across him. Sunshine straddled him and moaned at how good his steely abs felt against her.
To her amazement, he was already hard again. "You don't ever wear out, do you?"
He cupped her face in his hands and gave her a dark, serious stare. "It's you, love. Definitely you. With anyone else, I would have been curled up and sleeping hours ago."
"You mean that?"
He led her hand to his swollen shaft. "What do you think?"
