Chapter Nine

Hot damn. Who would have guessed Mr. Buttoned-Uptight had magic fingers? The way he gazed up at her rocked Lauren to the core. Listening to him play was like watching him exorcise his demons. All of the sudden, without explanation, she wanted to expose all the secrets she kept hidden. He looked at her with such yearning, eyes so lonely. Those piercing blue eyes bore into her soul and made him impossible to resist.

Already off balance by his ability to play as well as any concert pianist she’d ever heard, she only managed a weak smile as he stood and stalked his way to her. His fingers were so nimble on the keys, his entire soul captured by the moment, and all she could think about was whether he could play her as well as he had the piano.

“That turns you on?” His velvet voice rolled through her. He stepped closer, the heat of his body spiking her temperature.

Lauren bit her lip. “How can you know?”

One nimble fingertip circled her beaded nipple, straining against the cotton of her top. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak, but she couldn’t wait. She had to kiss him now, while magic still hung in the air. Pressing her body against his to quell the ache pulsing through her, she wrapped a hand around his neck and pulled his mouth to hers. No uncertainty about his reaction, nothing coy and flirty about her kiss. Just sizzling carnal pleasure.

She tried to push faster, harder, making her desperation apparent, but he slowed every move, drawing each taste, press, lick out as long as possible. Giving in to the inevitable she sampled and savored, unleashing the desire she’d suppressed.

The tenderness of his kiss made her want to believe in something more, but she squelched the hopeful thought, letting her inhibitions fall away and dance with the sexy shadows they cast on the walls.

A rampage of sensations crashed against her with each brush of his firm lips against hers. The crisp ends of his short hair tickled her fingertips as she pressed him closer. His clean smelling cologne wafted through her, mixing with a musky maleness laced with need.

Two seconds before she knew she’d go crazy from frustration, his hands found the hem of her tank top and slipped underneath, scorching her with the fervor of his touch. She responded in kind, allowing herself to feel the power in the lean muscles beneath the smooth skin of his chest, arms, back.

His warm hands framed her face as he broke the kiss and pulled away, staring into her eyes. There couldn’t be much he could see, with all the light coming from behind her. But she saw more in his bright blue gaze than she expected. Pupils so dilated and dark opened the window to his soul and she recognized the fear embedded there. He’d trusted and had it turned against him, just as she had. Intrinsic and unexplainable, the way she knew him without facts or dates.
