CHAPTER FIVE

THERE WAS NOTHING but the feel of the rain and the taste of her mouth.

He was lost in the moment. Lost in her.

He wanted to do far more than kiss her, and the impulse surprised him.

She was a mass of contradictions. Brief moments of sexual promise interspersed with fragile innocence and an uncertainty that he found intriguing. She’d confided her dreams quite openly but had refused to talk about her job.

He should have put her in a cab and sent her safely home. Instead, he was coaxing her mouth open with his, exploring her with hot, deep kisses that sent tremors of response running through her body.

Cupping her cheek, he felt the softness of her skin against his hand and tasted the addictive sweetness of her mouth. He felt a thrill of hunger, a rush of lust. Drowning in desire, he hauled her against him. He wanted her even closer. He wanted her to fill every empty space inside him and he wanted to fill the emptiness he sensed in her.

“Come with me.”

Her hands were in his hair, her lips seeking his. “Come with you where?”

“To my apartment. Neither of us drank champagne tonight. It’s time to fix that. I have a bottle in my fridge.”

She eased away slightly, her eyes wide. “You’re inviting me back with you to drink champagne?”

“And other things.”

“Are you always this impulsive?”

“I’m always this decisive.”

He waited for her to refuse.

It was crazy. He knew it was crazy. He’d met her a few hours earlier and he was always cautious in his relationships. Most of them originated from convenience. He needed a date; there were a large number of willing, available females willing to fill the slot. He treated women the same way he treated his business decisions; weighed up pros and cons. He was thoughtful and measured. If risk wasn’t exactly removed, it was carefully considered. Life had taught him not to trust easily, but this was different, and not just because of the novelty of not being recognized. There was something unusually compelling about the attraction, as if they’d connected on a million different levels at once.

Even so, he wouldn’t blame her for refusing. It would be reckless for her to go with a man she didn’t know. It would be—

“How far is your apartment?”

Her gaze locked on his and he saw the nervous tension and excitement in her eyes.

And he saw something else. Something that made him take her hand and lead her away from the park. The rain started to fall more heavily and they ran the two blocks to his apartment, while cabs splashed through the puddles, streets shimmered and pedestrians fumbled for umbrellas.

They fell through the door of his building, dripping water onto the marble floor and laughter into the ridiculously constrained atmosphere of his apartment building. Fortunately, the doorman was engaged in deep conversation with someone and didn’t greet him by name as he led her to the elevator.

The moment the doors closed, they were kissing again.

He licked into her mouth thinking that nothing, no one, had ever tasted as good as she did.
