I was soaking wet and shivering, my dress plastered to my skin from my earlier dash across the parking lot by the time I arrived home. The rain pelted my car roof as I turned into my driveway, but it wasn’t loud enough to drown out the thunder crashing above. I threw the car door open and ran through the downpour to the front porch.

I jiggled the key in the front door, mumbling, “I need a new lock on this damn thing.”

“You left without saying goodbye.”

Startled, I jumped. My keys fell to the ground. I spun around, my heart in my throat.

“What the hell, Chase?” Before I could stop myself, I whacked him in the chest. Hard. “You scared the hell out of me!”

“I’m sorry.” He let out a soft chuckle. Rain dribbled from his temple. He wiped it away then ran his hand through his hair. “I would have called first, but you left your phone and purse at the gallery.” He held up the hand clutching my purse. “Gen asked me to bring them to you.”

“You’re lucky I didn’t have my purse on me. I might have pepper-sprayed you.”

“Thank God you didn’t have it, then.” His smile was breathtaking.

“But thank you.” I swooped to pick up my keys in the dim glow of the porch light. “It was nice of you to come in this weather.”

As if on cue, thunder boomed, sounding too close.

“I think we should skip the coffee and do dinner instead.” He stepped closer, and I gravitated toward him.

“Dinner. Yes.” Dinner sounded much better. Dinner would mean a goodnight kiss. I wanted that kiss!

“You do eat, don’t you, Roxanna?”

My name rolled off his tongue like honey.

What was it about Chase that got to me like this? I wanted to know—needed to know. Maybe it was purely sexual attraction. That has to be it.

“I happen to love eating,” I said in one breath, my eyes riveted on his.

“Good, because I would love feeding you.” His diabolical grin made my knees weak.

An image of him feeding me something sexy, like chocolate strawberries, made me breathless. I licked my lips.

He was so close, I thought he would kiss me. But he didn’t. He reached for my hand and took my keys with a gentle tug.

I stepped aside so he could open the door.

Taking a step backward would have been appropriate, but I didn’t. I stayed right where I was, so close that the scent of him surrounded me. The rain had slowed to a sprinkle and the wind chimes pinged in the breeze.

“There’s something about you...” He brushed his fingers through my hair and his thumb caressed my cheek. His body heat was like a warm blanket, his mouth so close, but so far. If I rose to my tiptoes, our lips would meet. The memory of our last kiss had me shivering with anticipation.

“Oh?” I said on a breath.

“Yes.” He closed the distance between us. “I’ll call you.”

Then he pressed his lips against mine in a warm, soft kiss.
