He sipped his drink, noticing her eyes shifting from one object to the other. The love seat and chair with its own ottoman matched the ivory couch. A blue and crimson oriental rug dominated the living room floor. "Do you like the house?"
"Yes, it's beautiful." Sheer white curtains covered the double glass doors leading to the dining room furnished with a black lacquered table and chairs. "It's lovely," she said, touching his arm.
"Thank you, but I can't take the credit. My mother redecorated it last year." Ryan looked around as if viewing it for the first time himself.
"I would love to meet your mother. She has exquisite taste."
"I have to agree. Maybe one day you will. And, if you're good, I may take you on the grand tour of the place." Ryan's face drifted close to hers. He found himself not wanting to carry on the conversation any longer.
Her black hair, like her eyes, sparkled in the light. His skin beneath the sleeve of his shirt burned where the tips of her fingers touched. She smelled like freshly cut gardenias from his grandmother's greenhouse. Her voice sounded like an angel's song.
All he thought of was kissing her. He wanted to taste her sensuous pink lips and hold her in his arms until she begged for more. As if his thoughts scared her, she turned away.
"I-I would be privileged to see it." Did she feel the electricity sparking between them, too? Did she hunger for him the way he hungered for her?
He felt her uncertainty as he did his own. Finally, she looked at him, and he could see the passion burning in her green eyes, mirrored by his own. The window behind Natalie flashed with light. Their gazes clashed as the weather outside changed from the earlier sunny day to a darkened, cloud-studded night. Wind whipped the bay into a frenzy of waves that slammed onto the beach behind the house.
The rumbling of thunder startled Natalie as she jumped into his arms. Her breast pushed against his chest and his defenses crumbled. His mouth covered hers as a hungry moan escaped his lips. She wrapped her arms around him, returning his never-ending kiss. Her kiss was just as he'd imagined, sweet and full of passion.
