Chapter 30

• SECRET TEMPTATION
• Saturday nights were poker nights, it had been that way for the last four years, and Meredith supposed it would go on until James got tired of the game. It was inconvenient because she had to give up one of her free nights on the weekend, but James was so good about doing whatever she wanted on Fridays and Sundays that she really couldn’t complain. And they didn’t try to exclude her from the festivities, they even asked her if she wanted to play, but after a very few hands she had decided that poker wasn’t her game.
• The guys teased and joked with her as she brought them beer and chips and kept the ashtrays clean. The conversation tended to get a little rough at times, but she had grown up with three brothers and a dad who was a cop… there wasn’t much she hadn’t heard before. Besides, she got a thrill out of some of the stories that they told when they thought she couldn’t hear them…and she got a thrill when one of the men complimented James on her body or commented on how sexy she was. She started to dress sexier for the games on Saturdays because the guys made her feel sexy.
