He was on time.

She came up behind him, watching him chat casually with two ladies who seemed to gush over every word he uttered. He sipped a scotch with ice, and a plate of appetizers sat on the high table to his left.

He turned to look at her, and that tingle between her thighs bolted to a lightning strike. Thank God her bra was industrial strength because her nipples were hard knots under the padding. How did a man exude such graceful strength and sensual energy, just by zeroing in with those piercing blue eyes? His entire body vibrated with a leashed power she craved to let loose. The kiss was proof that he’d dominate her in the bedroom—body and soul. She also knew if they kissed again, she’d never be able to stop.

“Alyssa.” He caressed her name, his smile warm as if only for her. “Thank goodness. I apologize, ladies, but I need a few minutes alone with my able assistant.”

The pair smiled at her and happily drifted off. He handed her the chardonnay, his gaze holding hers. “I won.”

She waited, taking a sip as the chattering crowd seemed to drop away for a few precious moments. “How?”

His lower lip tugged. “Does it matter? Will you grant my favor?”

“Depends on what it is,” she retorted, enjoying their banter. She nibbled on her crab cake. “I won’t do anything illegal.”

He looked delighted by her answer. “Even if I promised you clemency?”

“You can’t, you don’t have that type of power.”

“I will when I’m governor.”

“Then if it’s an illegal activity, you can wait to collect until after you win the election.”

He laughed out loud. Lord, he was sexy when he did that. The creases around his eyes deepened, and his white teeth flashed, and she wished she could make him laugh all day long, just for her pleasure. Instead, she ate her cheese and crackers, knowing their time alone was about to end. The music was in full swing, an array of gentle pop and slow songs, and the dance floor was full of couples taking advantage of the gorgeous, romantic atmosphere before the official speeches and awards were given out.

His voice softened, and he lowered his head toward her. “I think you already know what I want to ask, Alyssa.”

She stilled, took another sip of her wine, then slammed him back with her gaze. “I’m not ready to answer yet.”

He gave a tight nod. She watched him struggle for his next words, seeming to sift through some to pick the perfect ones for their rapidly decreasing time limit. “It’s your favorite song.”

She blinked. “What?”

His head jerked toward the dance floor. “The Chainsmokers. That’s the concert you went to recently, right?”

He remembered. She’d gone with a few women from work who’d scored tickets, but in the darkened auditorium, with the creative and emotional lyrics ringing in her ears, she’d been alone with her heart and soul open, the music taking her somewhere else. “Yes.”

“What’s this called?”

The music took her back to the time they’d played this.
