Michele sat beside Jeff on a couch in front of a rock fireplace. They were alone and far from the dinner party. An owl hooted in a tree nearby.

“Cold?” He took his tuxedo jacket off and wrapped it around her shoulders. Not with him sitting this close. Her body was still humming from his kisses.

She put her head on his shoulder and looked up at the stars. “So beautiful.”

“Got that right.” He was looking at her.

It surprised her. He’d dated so many gorgeous women, did he really think she was beautiful?

She laced her fingers with his. She really wanted to touch him. All over.

With her head still on his shoulder she whispered, “Can we just stay here forever?”

“What about the restaurant I have to finish? And the world-renowned recipes you’re going to create?”

She sighed. What if she couldn’t create any recipes anymore, world renowned or otherwise? She knew the answer. This would be her last night with Jeff unless she could find the magic.

“Well, if we have to go back to reality tomorrow—” she started.

“Let’s make this a night to remember,” he finished and punctuated the thought by cupping her jaw and kissing her lips.

He was such an amazing kisser. When he sucked on her bottom lip she moaned with delight. She turned her head so he could have better access. He gripped her hair and pinned her in place. His tongue thrust in and out. In and out. She imagined that tongue doing wicked things between her legs and she moaned again.

“Pull up your dress,” he growled. “I want to touch you.”

She hesitated. The man had just told her that he couldn’t fall in love. He wasn’t interested in a real marriage, only one that was advantageous to his business. He was a playboy who dated anyone he wanted. And he was right, she wasn’t like that at all. She wanted to love, to feel everything, and to make a life and family with her soul mate, like her mother did.

But the expression on his face—dark, determined, needy—was her undoing. No one had ever looked at her like that before and she longed to feel sexy, just once. She stood and crinkled up the material from the hem of her dress until her legs were exposed.

“More,” he said.

She swallowed and pulled her gown up further until he could see her pink panties. They matched the dress and probably looked almost nude in the light of the fire.

“Come here, sweetheart.” He crooked his finger at her.

Her brain kept trying to tell her that Jeffrey Harper was the opposite of her soul mate. He was sexually experienced and hot enough to burn her to ash. He was a one-night guy and she didn’t do one-night stands, and she didn’t sleep around at work either. It wasn’t in her chemical makeup to shut feelings off and walk away. And it certainly wasn’t like her to hook up with a take-charge kind of a guy who had the power to hurt her professionally and personally.
