Daniel choked on a very poorly timed sip of whiskey. A dusky flush rose to his cheeks. With hands and information flying about so freely, it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep to his word. He made a mental note to make his next meeting with BB at least as uncomfortable as this conversation was. If he knew this much about her now, he could only guess what Aurora had told BB about him.
He glanced briefly down to where Chris sat. He told himself he was only checking out the drink in the other man's hands, carefully considering his own next indulgence. But his gaze wandered from the bright drink to the line of the straw and lingered overlong on the fullness of his mouth, the way it seemed to always be ready to curl into a stomach-turning smirk. Daniel downed the rest of his whiskey in a single go. Then he cleared his throat, sliding the empty glass across the bar toward the bartender.
"Well I'm glad you and BB are havin' a good time," he said, surprised by his own sincerity. With marked effort he forced his glance back to Aurora. "And your concern over my social life is both appreciated and totally unnecessary. I'm doin' just fine, thank you."
