Nora

Nora had no idea what to expect as the plane landed and she stepped onto the tarmac. The air was hot and dry, the flatness of their surroundings making the mountain girl within her search the horizon.

“Are we… in the desert” she asked.

Luke grinned, jerking his head toward a Jeep that was parked outside the private airstrip. “C’mon.”

“I’ve gotta say, this is the most mysterious second date I’ve ever been on,” Nora said as they walked toward the Jeep. Her heart skipped a beat when his hand slipped into hers, easy and effortless, like it was where it belonged.

Stop being so fanciful! You’re high on his hot sweetness.

She couldn’t believe she’d shown him one of her pieces. Especially from the Red Dust sequence, which was some of her most raw work. But once again, Luke had both surprised and drawn her in with his understanding of the emotion behind the piece.

“I can’t even get one hint?” she asked, shooting him a teasing smile. It was really kind of marvelous, how comfortable she felt with him. She liked how much he made her laugh, how he made her want to tease him.

“We’re taking a little trip into the desert,” he said, dropping her hand to pull the keys to the Jeep from his jeans pocket..

She shrugged her checked flannel shirt off her shoulders; the air was warm enough for her to ditch it. She looked up from tying it around her waist, realizing he was watching, and the heat in his eyes sent a little shock through her.

She smiled, with a lot more bravado than she actually felt. “Are you just going to stare?”

At this invitation, he closed the space between them in three steps, but the kiss he placed on her lips was anything but urgent.

It was slow and soft, like he’d been thinking about it ever since the first one, like he wanted to memorize the shape of her mouth. His thumb stroked the curve of her jaw, and her lips parted beneath his. She just sighed into him, her entire body, and it felt like what she always thought being cherished would feel like.

When they parted, his hand was still cupping her face. “I’ve been thinking about doing that all week,” he murmured, sending a wash of heat across her already-pink face.

“Was it worth the wait?” she asked, unable to stop sounding positively breathless, like she was about to swoon.

Heck, she might. After that kiss, her knees were more than a little wobbly.

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his eyes still so damn hot she felt like he could see right through her clothes. “I have a feeling you’re always worth the wait,” he said.

“Tell me that when we’re twenty minutes late for a movie because I can’t find my purse,” she said, and he laughed, reaching over and opening the passenger door of the Jeep for her.

As they drove to wherever they were going—he still wouldn’t tell her—they played their own personal game of twenty questions.
