won’t realize the difference.”
“Stevie and I discussed food. Nothing else.”
“Doesn’t matter,” Ben said. “He’ll think you’re interested in him.”
She wasn’t an idiot. And from what she’d seen so far, neither was his crew, despite the belching, bad manners and not-so-subtle stares. “I know how to deal with men.”
“Not these men.”
Kayla didn’t like Ben’s attitude. “What if I’m interested in Stevie?”
“What?”
She tried not to smile at his shocked tone. “It’s not every day a woman finds a man who can cook like that,” she whispered. “Is he married?”
“Stevie married?” Ben’s frown turned into a scowl. The pirate was back. Dark and dangerous and more than a little peeved. “He’s only twenty-four.”
“I’m only twenty-seven. Besides, he might like older women.” Kayla was enjoying herself, especially since Ben wasn’t. “And what does age have to do with being married?”
Ben stared at her as if she’d lost her mind. “Are you…serious about this?”
She let him stew for a minute. She had the upper hand and she liked it. Liked it a lot. “That’s none of your business.”
His eyes darkened to an inky black. His lips narrowed until they almost disappeared. “Whatever happens on this ship is my business. Do you understand?”
She was playing with fire. Something she never did. But she’d never been on a ship with a band of pirates before. Time to take chances even if it meant getting burned. The crew and Madison were staring at them. Too late to back down now.
“Do you?” Ben repeated.
“Aye, aye, Captain.” Kayla saluted him. “I read you loud and clear.”
