Chapter Eight

Luke whistled as he dressed in a suit for the business meeting the next afternoon. Thoughts of the kisses he’d shared with Mar last night had him grinning from ear to ear. He’d never felt a kiss like what they experienced together. It far surpassed the out-of-control physical desire he’d felt for Tracey. Yet it wasn’t just the physical with Mar. They could banter playfully, they could talk seriously about business and life, she made him laugh and smile, and she was willing to do anything with him.

Their hike this morning had been a lot of fun, and he wanted to spend every spare minute with her. He was glad she was going to this meeting with him. Afterward, he’d take her to a fancy dinner and then a walk around downtown. He’d find a great spot to kiss her. Everybody needed a kiss under the elk arch, right? He chuckled as he remembered how she’d laughed about the arch. Okay, maybe a more romantic spot than that.

He knotted his tie, checked his reflection in the mirror, and then strode out into the hallway. Mar’s bedroom door was open and there was no movement inside, so he strode across the balcony and down the stairs. Halfway down, he spotted her waiting in the foyer for him. She was wearing a fitted pale blue dress that set off her dark coloring. Her legs looked incredible showcased by those high heels she liked to wear.

She turned his way with a welcoming smile on her full lips, and he missed a step. He righted himself quickly with the help of the railing and let out an embarrassed laugh.

Mar started toward him, her expression scrunching with concern. “Are you okay?”

He reached the foyer and nodded. “Yes. I was just so stunned by your beautiful smile I tripped on my own feet.”

Mar’s smile returned. “You’re such a tease.”

He shook his head and moved in closer, wrapping his hands around her waist. “I’m not teasing. You take my breath away, Mar.”

Sliding her hands up his chest, she murmured, “Do you want me to really take your breath away?”

“Yes, ma’am.” A quiver of anticipation ran through him.

She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled his head down to meet hers. Mar might have been small in stature, but she was huge in personality, accomplishments, and kissing ability. She truly did take his breath away, for several wonderful minutes.

Pulling back, she pumped her eyebrows. “How was that?”

“Amazing.” He lifted her off her feet and held her tightly against him. “I wish you could just take my breath away the rest of the day, but we’d better go to this meeting.”

“That is a bummer.”

He set her on her feet and took her hand. They walked through the foyer and the great room area, out the mudroom, and into the garage. He loaded her into the Audi and followed the directions that Siri chirped. All the while, he held Mar’s hand with his free hand and listened to her ooh and ahh over the beautiful scenery as they drove.
