She holds my hand as I tidy up my room. She holds my hand as we walk to my parking space. She holds my hand in the car. She's silent on the short drive to my condo, smiling a sweet little smile to herself.

Her eyes sparkle in the dim light of the parking garage as I pull her to a stop next to me.

"This is a bad idea," I whisper.

The look of open trust on her face steals the breath from my lungs, and my lips are against hers when she mumbles, "I'll not force myself upon you, Eli. If you want me to leave, I will."

Her breath is hot against my face, and I change course from her mouth, running my lips over her ear.

"I am going to ruin you."

Instead of running away in fright, she smiles beatifically at me.

"Looking forward to it, sir."

The walk to my top floor condo takes ages, yet happens in the blink of an eye.

It's not much, not compared to some. But it's spacious and open, and filled with top-to-bottom glass. There's a baby grand in the middle of the open living space, a couch, and a collection of instruments against a wall.

I slip my coat from my shoulders and hang it on the coat rack by the door. I flick on the light over the sink, hit the button to open the curtains and let the views of New York at night flood into my apartment. The surround sound in the condo is connected to the same panel, and I hit another button so instrumental music, robust and full, spills quietly into the apartment.

She shakes off her jacket, draping it across the back of the couch.

Her eyes go wide at the sight of the curtains parting, and I stand back and enjoy the pleasure on her face. She surprises me though and heads to the row of strings instead of the New York skyline views. She runs her fingers over the instruments, a look of reverence lighting her features. A guitar, a bass, three cellos—two traditional and an electric—and a double bass at the end.

"Will you play for me tonight?"

"Of course. If you want."

I finally realize I'd do anything she asks me to.

There's still time to stop this. I can put Natalie in a cab and make her realize—

Realize what?

I've come too far to stop now. It's either have her and burn with it. Or don’t and die from the knowledge that heaven was within my grasp, and I let it fall away.

I watch as she toes her shoes off and lines them up against the couch. Her shirt goes next, dropping to the floor. My gaze follows as she unsnaps her jeans, lowers the zipper, then shimmies them down her thighs.

The heat starts in my gut, simmering its way up until I'm positive fire flares behind my eyes.

The moonlight shimmers off her pale body, freckles twinkling in the night like stars.

Pure.

She looks so fucking pure, and I am the vilest man on the planet.
