The weather. What a stupid thing for her to say. She felt herself blush again.

He laughed with her. “I don’t feel like this is a first date. I feel like we’re at least on our fifth or sixth date.”

“I agree. I feel comfortable with you. I have from the first.”

He stood and picked up some sort of remote on the side table. Then soft music started playing through a very nice sound system. He held out a hand. “Would you like to dance?”

Her heart fluttered. “Yes.”

She took his hand and stood. He placed his hand on her back and took her other hand in his and began to move around the room.

The music was old fashioned, from the big band era, and he began to lead her in more and more elaborate twirls. He led expertly and signaled his moves well, so much that she could sense his next move as if he were verbally announcing it.

They floated around the room, gliding, touching, twirling.

And then the song ended, and they came to a stop, laughing.

Then they weren’t laughing, and he kissed her. She melted against him, enjoying the moment.

His lips were warm and gentle against hers, but there was a possessiveness about them that made her want to surrender to him. No, not surrender, exactly — more like acknowledge she was his.

She wound her arms around his neck, and he tightened his arm around her waist, placing his hand in her hair and pulling her into the kiss — as if she needed encouragement for that.

When he finally pulled back, she opened her eyes to find his blue-green eyes filled with more gold than usual.

She leaned in for another kiss, and he obliged her.

She didn’t think she would be exaggerating if she claimed the earth did, indeed, move beneath her feet.

Realizing she was about to lose herself in the kiss, she placed her hands against his chest. He immediately broke the kiss and hugged her for a long moment. She wrapped her arms around him, and felt as though she belonged there.

She never wanted to leave his arms.

Holy cow! She really was in love with Michael Murphy, attorney at law!

Was it even possible to fall in love so fast?

The stars in her eyes said yes. The thrum of her heart cried out yes. Even her lips whispered yes.

She was going to go for it.

He was handsome. He was romancing her. He was trying to show her what he could offer — and that was a lot.

She didn’t care about the house, gorgeous as it was, but she did care about his lips on hers, the gentle possessiveness in his touch, the way she felt when she was around him. The way she always felt safe and protected — and alive, vibrantly alive, buzzing with life.
