CHAPTER EIGHT

CHINA opened the door on Friday night to find Eric leaning against the frame. Thick brown hair, still damp from a recent shower, curled gently at his neck. He was wearing a silky thin button-up shirt, which he hadn’t tucked in, beneath a pinstriped jacket. Faded, tight jeans and his signature cowboy boots rounded out the near perfect picture.

She wavered on her high heels.

He felt too close. Looking more like a fire department calendar pin-up than her date, she wanted to back off and run for the hills.

“You look great,” he said.

Ditto. “Thanks. You’re not looking too shabby yourself.”

His gaze drifted from her face down to her feet. A big smile stretched across his cheeks and he lifted his brows. “And you wore my favorite shoes.”

A blanket of heat covered her entire body under his intense scrutiny. She’d decided to surprise him, to go for the wow-factor. She felt daring when she’d chosen what to put on, wearing the glove-tight black leather pants and high-heeled sandals. Most likely he had been hoping for a mini skirt. But didn’t the nearly see-through black lace top and matching bra make up for it?

“Would you like to come in?” Now paying the price for dressing to shock, nervous hands flitted from her neck to her waist.

He reached for her wrist, tugged her close and dropped a light kiss on the corner of her mouth. Tingles fanned across her shoulders.

“Ask me that again later,” he said. “If I come inside now, we may never make it out in time for our dinner reservations.”

“That’s presumptuous of you.”

He cocked his head, weighing her point. Confidence oozing from him.

What was she going to do with him? Every time he came around she fell apart. One look, one touch and she developed an out-of-body experience, leaving her weak at the knees and foggy-minded.

“Oh-kay,” she said, forcing a quick recovery. “Let me get my purse.”

She’d taken great care in preparing for tonight. Using her tropical magic shampoo, special plumeria body lotion, and an extra dab or two of make-up when she’d gotten ready, she’d wondered what her intentions were for the evening. Truth was, she hadn’t wanted to impress a man this much since the night she’d known she would become engaged, three and a half years ago.

She didn’t just want Eric Morell. Crazy as it seemed in such a short period of time, she thought she’d fallen in love with him. He’d proved his sincerity, heroism, and worth over and over to her in the last few weeks, and she’d succumbed to his natural charm. But it was more than physical, that much she knew. He’d also managed to touch a part of her she’d kept buried. He made her feel lovable again. And realizing he wasn’t as perfect as he seemed made him so much more appealing.

Was she sure she was ready for the next step?

When she got back to the door, Eric cast her a mischievous glance and asked, “Are you ready?”
