"It'll help you cool off. Come here."
Kodi picked up the closest non-tiny object within arm's reach and brandished the electric can opener at Bishop. "You cool yourself off," she told him. "Or I'll brain you with this, and you can chill out that way."
He shrugged and then pressed the handful of ice cubes to his bare chest with a horribly indecent, drawn out groan. "f**k, yeah," he sighed. "That's it."
"Oh, my God."
"You change your mind? Want some?"
Kodi flashed him a middle finger and set her now-empty glass by the sink. "Move," she ordered him.
He didn't.
"Move!"
"You'll wake everyone. Here, trust me, it feels good -"
"I'll kill you!"
She lashed out, punching him in the shoulder even as he continued to crowd her back against the counter.
