It took Riko several moments before he could catch his breath. Not necessarily because he’d just had the wind knocked out of him. No, it was more because of the woman sprawled over him. The same woman he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about since he’d met her, the one who’d crept into his dreams at night and into his thoughts during his waking hours. Plenty of those thoughts had come up with exactly the scenario he was in right now—him flat on his back with Elle draped atop him.

Well, maybe not the exact scenario. Actually, the pictures in his mind had been quite different. Also, they hadn’t been surrounded by laughing children with a crowd of other onlookers watching in amusement.

Elle appeared stunned, her wide eyes boring into his. Heaven help him, then those hazel-green eyes fell to his lips, desire and invitation clouding her irises. He gasped for the air that hadn’t quite made it into his lungs yet. If it wasn’t for their audience, he wouldn’t hesitate to take her up on that invitation. And make a few of his own.

He couldn’t be sure how much time went by. One thing he was certain of—he had no desire to let her out of his arms just yet, despite their surroundings.

Her tongue darted out to her lips and heat surged through his body. The way he reacted to this woman was nothing short of jolting. They were in the middle of a literal festival of people, and all his focus was squarely on her. Only her.

“Guess we lost the race, cariña,” he said when he finally got his voice to work. The last word came out of its own volition. Darling, sweetheart. He’d never called her that before. He’d never called anyone that before.

Her eyes remained fixed on his, her lips parted. What if he just went for it? the devil on his shoulder asked. What if he just gave in to what he so badly wanted and just took her lips with his own? Despite the crowd, despite the flak that would be sure to follow. He could find a way to deal with the repercussions later. He had no doubt the taste of her would be worth it, even if just for a moment.

Elle’s eyebrows lifted close to her hairline, as if she might have read his thoughts. Maybe she didn’t need to. Perhaps they were written clearly on his face for anyone to see.

Her breath brushed against his chin in puffs. She felt soft and warm everywhere her body touched his. She scrambled in a futile effort to get off him. Of course, it was no use. They were literally tied together at a limb. The squirming only served to heighten his awareness of how intimate their position was.

The sudden sound of an airplane flying above was immediately followed by a chorus of cheers erupting around them. The skywriter. The king employed one every year on the first day to write patriotic message high among the clouds.
