It took a few minutes to settle things with the waiter and collect their take-out boxes. Nicki tried to keep her mind perfectly blank because if she thought too much about what she’d said, about what they were going to do, she would start to hyperventilate.

She knew this was crazy, that she was crazy. She had very logical, sensible reasons for keeping things on a “friend’s only” footing with Zane. She didn’t want to get her heart broken, she didn’t want to lose him. She wanted to be free to fall for someone else and get started on her happily ever after. But she couldn’t seem to not want him.

She’d just told him her deepest darkest secrets and instead of running for the hills, he’d looked at her as if she were his hero. How was she supposed to resist that? Plus he’d been so sweet about them sharing a room. He’d made jokes and gone out of his way to make her feel special and normal. That all combined with spending time alone with him had apparently undone her good intentions, leaving her little more than a liquid puddle of longing.

The elevator ride to their floor was short and silent. Nicki didn’t know where to look and when her gaze accidentally landed on Zane’s face, she nearly fainted at the desire she saw etched there. Whatever doubts she might have about the foolishness of her decision to make love with him again were overshadowed by the fact that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him.

When the elevator doors opened, they exited and moved directly to the suite. Zane already had the key out. He pushed opened the door and she entered. He was right behind her. She heard the slap of the take-out containers hitting a table, but she was already heading for the bedroom. As she rolled, she reached down and pulled off her shoes, while shrugging out of her suit jacket.

That’s as far as she got. Zane caught up with her halfway across the bedroom and knelt in front of her wheelchair. Then his hands were on her face and he was kissing her with a desperation that made her heart break.

His warm, firm lips took as much as they offered. She tasted wine and a hint of the man himself.

At the first brush of his mouth, her breathing caught and she parted her lips for him instantly. When his tongue swept inside, touching her, teasing her, making her want with a force that should have terrified her, she ceased to need breath. As long as she had this man, as long as he touched her and allowed her to touch him, she would survive. This moment was enough. This world in which they were lovers was paradise.

“I want you,” he breathed as he kissed her cheek, her nose, her forehead. He cupped her head and gazed into her eyes. “Nicki.”

The sound of her name was as erotic as the most intimate touch. She shivered in anticipation of what was to come.
