Her movement caused the front of her shirt to gape, and acting the blackguard himself, Cole took a peek.
Guiltily, he took a bite of the pepper.
At first he thought the fire in his body resulted from the glimpse of Christina Delaney's unrestrained bosom, but then he realized that the fire was mostly limited to his mouth. His eyes started watering and his mouth stung like an invasion of stinging scorpions. He tried to talk, but he couldn't work his tongue.
Maybe it burned off.
He grabbed for the water pitcher sitting on the table and used both hands to tilt it to his mouth. He gulped long swallow after long swallow.
The water only made the burning worse. He needed bread to soak up some of the sting, and he'd have yelled for some had his throat not swollen up. As it was, he choked and coughed. Jake started hitting him on the back in a misguided attempt to help.
Tears running down his cheeks, Cole shot a hot-pepper look at Christina. She batted her eyes innocently and said, "Oops, that wasn't one of my pickled peppers. It was a habenero. I'm always getting those two mixed up."
She stood and carried her plate back to her chili stand. The kids followed, young Romeo shooting a triumphant look over his shoulder.
Cole watched the saucy sway of her scarlet-clad derriere and thought,
I truly am going to kill Christina Delaney.
Before she kills me.
