Cooper had to smile at that. If ever there had been a poster child for not thinking things through, he was it!<em>That makes us two of us,</em>he mused. Out loud, however, he said only, "Nothing to be sorry about. This is your time. We're on your schedule, on your route."<br/><br/>There was no longer any doubt in his mind that she had never done this sort of thing before. That meant expecting her to ask him to ... well, he wasn't sure what, though he was ready to do just about anything for the lovely blonde. Whatever it was, she wasn't going to be comfortable with saying it out loud like she was asking for extra pickles on her sandwich. So, at least for now, he was going to have to make a few exploratory moves and do his best to read how she responded. Nothing he didn't ordinarily do, he realized.<br/><br/>More confident now, he decided on an opening offer. Eyes still locked on Sarah's, he cupped the hand that he had been massaging and brought it up to press a long, hot kiss into her petal soft palm.
