Roxi was not inexperienced. She’d been kissed hundreds of times before. Thousands. But never had the mere touch of a man’s lips against hers caused her world to tilt on its axis.

Amazingly, it was just like she’d dreamed. His mouth was firm and hot and outrageously clever, just skimming her lips, drawing forth a ragged sigh, before moving on.

His warm breath fanned her cheek. Her temple. Her other cheek.

“Sloan.” Her voice sounded far away, as if it were coming from the bottom of the sea.

“What, sugar?” He nipped at her bottom lip, just hard enough to make her shiver.

“Kiss me.”

“I am.” He soothed the tender flesh with the tip of his tongue. “Do you have any idea how long I’ve been wanting to do this?”

“All of thirty minutes?” She realized she’d totally lost track of the time since arriving at the restaurant.

“Longer than that.”

“An hour, then.” Her breath was clogging in her lungs. Which was ridiculous, since he hadn’t even properly kissed her yet.

“Longer.” His tongue slid silkily between her parted lips, tangling with hers, engaging it in a slow, sensual dance.

“That’s impossible.”

“Nothing’s impossible.” His mouth skimmed down her throat, across her collarbone. At the same time his hand glided tantalizingly up her leg. “When you’re talking about magic.”

Her skin felt hot. Her dress, suddenly too confining.

“I fell in love with Morganna back when I was in film school at USC,” he said conversationally as his fingers traced seductive figure eights on the inside of her thigh.

“If I’d known she actually existed, I would’ve dropped out and hightailed it down to Louisiana and proposed.”

“It would’ve been a wasted trip,” she managed in a ragged voice choked with need. How did he do it? His stroking touch was making her nipples ache and her clit pulse, yet he was chatting away as if they were having an ordinary dinner date conversation.

“You sure of that, are you?” His Georgia drawl had thickened to that of whiskey-drenched bread pudding. Roxi could’ve eaten him up with a spoon.

She closed her legs, capturing that roving hand between them. “As sure as I’m sitting here talking with you.”

Trying to talk when what she wanted to do was strip off her dress, and climb into his lap, and have him take her aching breasts in his mouth and . . .

“Not that I’d want to go braggin’ on myself or anything,” he was saying as a red haze shimmered over her mind and her blood boiled and thickened in her veins. “But I’ve been told that I can be irresistibly charming.” Those treacherous fingers crept higher. “When I put my mind to it.”

“I’ve not a single doubt of that.” She gasped when he pinched the flesh at the inside of her thigh, hard enough to leave a bruise.

At the same time her body arched toward his wicked hand.

Wanting.

No, dammit, needing more.

“But back when you were sitting around your dorm room, lusting after a comic book witch, I was a mere girl of fifteen.”

A virgin who, despite all
