Dinner was spectacular. Iâve never eaten something so amazing before. And the ambiance, with the sound and smell of the ocean and the moonlightâ¦I feel like Iâm on cloud nine. I feel like a princess in a fairy tale. And as I gaze across the table at Silas and watch the way the candlelight flickers across the sharp angles and planes of his face, I feel my heart skip a beat. My stomach clenches so tight, I have a hard time breathing for a moment.
âThank you, Silas. This evening has beenâ¦perfect. Magical,â I say.
âIâm glad you enjoyed it.â
His smile ignites a burst of fire inside of me that warms me up from the inside. Or maybe itâs all the wine Iâve had tonight. Whatever the case, thereâs a warmth spreading from my belly, along my skin, and makes me quiver between my thighs. Just staring into those icy blue eyes of his is making me grow hotter and slicker.
I take a drink of my cappuccino to wet my suddenly dry throat and lick the foam off my lips. Silas holds my gaze and the intensity I see in his eyes only fuels that fire already burning in me. Itâs then that I realize Iâm not ready for this evening to end. More than that though, for the first time in my life, I realize that I want even more from the evening.
âWhat are you thinking?â Silas asks.
His deep, rumbling voice washes over me like a physical vibration. And it feels good. I close my eyes for a moment and bite my bottom lip to keep myself quiet, savoring this moment in time with Silas. I open my eyes again and smile softly.
âI was just thinking that Iâm not ready to go home yet,â I tell him.
âNo? We could go down to the lounge and have a nightcap if youâd like?â
I trace circles on the white tablecloth with the tip of my finger and look down for a moment. My throat is dry again and my heart is beating so hard, Iâm half-expecting it to burst straight out of my chest. I canât believe the thoughts that are going through my mind right now and Iâm giving it a minute to decide whether itâs something I should give voice to or not.
When I raise my eyes to his again, I get that quiver between my legs again and feel like itâs a foregone conclusion. My lips are dry and even licking them doesnât seem to moisten them any more than swallowing does my throat. The shaking that started in my legs has made its way through my entire body and my heart has gone from racing to feeling like itâs on the verge of stopping altogether.
âI donât want to go to the lounge for a nightcap,â I say. âIâ¦I want to get a room.â
My face is burning and Iâm sure itâs a shade of red not normally found in nature. Unable to meet his eyes, I turn my head, but Silas reaches across the table to cup my chin and raise my head, forcing me to look him in the eye.
