тАЬThereтАЩs another mark on the pants.тАЭ He turned as he spoke.
It looked as if someone had pressed a finger against the bottom of LeeтАЩs right cheek and stroked up. Tony thought very hard about
cold showers, police holding cells, and Homer Simpson.
Lee continued around until he faced them again, toed off the black patent leather shoes, and unzipped his fly. тАЬI swear it wasnтАЩt there
earlier.тАЭ
тАЬThe jacket would have covered most of it,тАЭ Brenda reminded him in a breathy tone Tony found extremely annoying. He held on to
that annoyanceтАФit was a handy shield against a potentially embarrassing reaction to Lee stepping out of his pants and passing them
over.
Clad from the waist down in gray boxer briefs and black socks, Lee wandered over to the empty makeup chair and sat. The chair
squealed a protest. тАЬI have no idea how it happened. I swear I wasnтАЩt anywhere near wet paint.тАЭ
тАЬOf course you werenтАЩt,тАЭ Brenda purred. Lifting the jacket off the ironing board she handed it to Tony, her heated gaze never leaving
LeeтАЩs face until she had to lay out the pants. She made up for the loss of eye contact by taking her time caressing the fabric smooth.
Rumor insisted that Brenda and Lee had recently shared a heated moment on the floor of the wardrobe department while Alison Larkin
тАФthe head of wardrobeтАФwas off rummaging through charity sales for costumes her budget would cover. Given the intimate way
Brenda spread her hand and pressed it down next to the paint to hold the fabric still, Tony had to admit it looked like gossip had gotten
it right. Standing there, while she spritzed and then rubbed slow circles over the ass of LeeтАЩs pants, he felt like a voyeur.
And he was definitely odd man out.

тАЬListen, Tony, as long as LeeтАЩs here, thereтАЩs no need for you to stay.тАЭ Apparently, Brenda thought so, too.
тАЬYeah, I should go.тАЭ
тАЬYes, you should.тАЭ Because the moment youтАЩre out the door and weтАЩre finally alone, IтАЩm going to show that man what a real woman
can give him.
He had to admire the amount of bad fifties subtext she could layer under three words.
тАЬIтАЩll tell Peter youтАЩll be back when BrendaтАЩs finished with you,тАЭ he said handing Lee the jacket. The expression on the actorтАЩs face
was interestingтАФand a little desperate. Desperate for him to leave? Desperate about him leaving? Desperately seeking Susan? What?
Tony was getting nothing.
тАЬAre you still here?тАЭ What part of we want to be alone donтАЩt you understand?
Well, nothing from Lee. Plenty from Brenda.
тАЬTony!тАЭ AdamтАЩs voice rose out of the background noise. тАЬThe minute that paintтАЩs . . .тАЭ A couple of words got lost in static. тАЬ. . . get
Lee back here. WeтАЩve got a shit-load of stuff to cover today.тАЭ
He dropped his mouth toward the microphone clipped to his collar. тАЬRoger that, Adam.тАЭ
тАЬThe point ishsput to make sure no oneтАЩs getting rogered.тАЭ
тАЬYeah, I got that.тАЭ Most of it, anyway.
Adam had obviously heard the rumor, too, although his choice of euphemism was interesting. Rogered?
тАЬHow much longer?тАЭ
тАЬJacketтАЩs done, pants are . . .тАЭ Tony glanced over at Brenda and shrugged apologetically when she glared. тАЬ. . . pants are finished now.
LeeтАЩs dressing . . .тАЭ The pants slid quickly up over long, muscular, tanned legs. Feet shoved into shoes and Lee was at the door,
mouthing Sorry, gotta run. back toward the wardrobe assistant. тАЬAnd weтАЩre moving.тАЭ
тАЬYouтАЩre shoving?тАЭ
тАЬMoving!тАЭ
тАЬGlad to finally frigginтАШ hear it. Out.тАЭ
They were almost to the path before Lee spoke. тАЬYes, we did.тАЭ
Tony shrugged. тАЬI didnтАЩt ask.тАЭ
