Ariana took a sip of her wine and leaned over to peek around Alec. He'd been chopping and mixing things together in a bowl but had set it aside in the cooling bin to let it marinade for a few minutes. Now he was stirring some other concoction together. It didn't look particularly appetizing, but she'd withhold final judgment until the taste test.

He chuckled. “I can hear what you're thinking, beautiful. It's much better than it looks.”

“If you say so,” she replied and wrinkled her nose.

Alec grinned and took her wine out of her hand. He put it on the counter and pulled the spoon from the bowl. Holding his hand underneath, he offered it to her. “Try it.”

Ariana eyed the dark substance with skepticism, but she supposed it all came down to trust. Leaning forward, she opened her mouth to allow him to place it on her tongue. Her eyes widened at the complexity of flavors. It was rich and sweet, with an earthy undertone that complimented the bite of alcohol hidden within it.

“It's incredible,” she said. “That can't be for dinner.”

He chuckled and returned the spoon to the bowl. “It's actually for dessert. I have some fresh fruit and thought this would be a nice dipping sauce. It's a mixture of chocolate, brandy, and a few other things. Seara gave me the recipe when she found out I was coming here tonight.”

“I think we should skip dinner.” She reached over to dip her finger in the bowl.

Catching her wrist, he tsked at her. “Stealing from the chef?”

She laughed. “When it's that good, all bets are off.”

Alec's eyes danced with mischief as he lifted her hand and put her finger in his mouth. Her lips parted on a gasp as he swirled his tongue around her finger, licking and sucking the chocolate sauce from the tip. The erotic images that formed in her mind at the thought of him doing the same to other parts of her body made her shiver in anticipation.

As though sensing her thoughts, he took his time licking the last of the chocolate from her finger before releasing her hand. He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her against him. “I'm thinking you might be better for dessert.”

He reached over, dipping his fingers into the sauce, and brushed them across her lips. Her eyes widened, and Alec's gaze dropped to her mouth before he lowered his head, nipping lightly at her lips. He flicked his tongue against them, and she could taste the chocolate on both their lips. His touch was light and teasing, and his energy caressed hers, encouraging her to respond.

Ariana reached up, wrapping her arms around his neck, and opened herself to his kiss. Energy flared between them as he possessed her mouth, consuming both of them with an internal heat. He moved his hands upward, lifting her shirt to reveal her stomach, and she gasped as his cool air energy brushed across her bare skin. He traced its path with his fingertips, heating her with his possessive touch and sending small shivers across her skin.
