CHAPTER 13

We would have gone on for hours if our waitress had not informed us that they were closing up. I was so immersed in the conversation that I did not notice all the other patrons clearing out.

Similar to our drive into the city, a comfortable silence reigned on the way back. With a full stomach and the day’s exhaustion catching up with me, as well as some measure of relief that the date went better than I could have ever expected, I started to get drowsy. I did not feel myself doze off, but the next thing I knew, I was blinking my heavy eyelids awake as Landon was carrying me up the driveway to my house.

“Wha— Why didn’t you wake me? I can walk on my own!” I flailed in his arms, trying to get him to settle me down on my feet, nearly hitting him across his face with my outstretched hand.

“Easy there, tiger. You looked so peaceful that I wanted to let you get in a few more seconds of sleep,” he said, his breath stirring the baby hairs at my temple. He lowered me onto the cobblestone walkway, keeping his arms around my waist so I wouldn’t stumble and sprain an ankle.

A shiver worked its way up my spine, but I couldn’t tell whether it was from the chilly breeze coming in from the ocean signaling that fall was well on its way, or if it was the consuming intensity of Landon’s stare.

“I really enjoyed myself tonight,” he whispered, taking his hands from my waist and rubbing them up and down the sides of my arms to ward off the chill. His rich and deep timbre sounded even sexier in the quiet of the night, surrounded by the ambient sounds of nature.

“Same here.” I stepped closer to him so that we were standing chest to chest. With my six-inch heels on, I didn’t have to crane my head back very far to look up at him—Landon was a tall guy standing at what I estimated to be at least 6’2 compared to my measly height of 5’2. With most of the neighborhood likely fast asleep and only the warm glow of the porchlight illuminating our immediate surroundings, it felt as if we were cocooned in our own little world as Landon tucked loose strands of my hair behind my ear. Another shiver wracked my body when his fingers brushed against the shell of my ear and my eyes fluttered close to their own accord.

“If it’s okay with you, I’d like to take you out again. I’m going out of town for a few days to meet with an artist I’m trying to get to sign up for an upcoming exhibition, but maybe this weekend I can take you to my gallery so that you can pick out a few paintings and then we could do lunch or something?”

I could barely concentrate on a word he was saying, not with how close his face was to mine.
