Six

Adam left a message on her voice mail the next morning, telling her he’d like to have dinner with her that evening. Selene called him back on his office line the moment her father left the house for a brunch appointment. When his smooth, deep voice answered “Hello?”, she swallowed through a throat suddenly so dry she wouldn’t have been able to spit if she’d needed to.

“A-Adam?”

“Selene.” His voice dropped to an even lower register, growing husky and intimate. “I miss you.”

“I miss you, too,” she said honestly.

“Can you make dinner tonight? We need to talk.”

“We talked all day yesterday,” she said automatically.

“Not all day,” he said, and she could hear the humor in his tone.

She blushed, even though he couldn’t see her. Thank God. “I’m not sure I can get away tonight,” she said regretfully. “Father might get suspicious. I’ve hardly been home lately.” Not that he would miss her presence at the dinner table. On the rare occasions that they ate at home together, he usually had the television on and his eyes glued to the news.

“All right,” he said. “I didn’t want to do this over the phone, but…I’ve been thinking about what you told me last night.”

She knew, from the tone of his voice, he meant about her lack of experience. “Yes?” she managed. “Thinking what?”

“Your first time,” he said, “should be special. Do you trust me to make it special for you?”

“Of course.” She didn’t even have to think about it. “I would trust you with anything.”

She could hear the smile in his voice when he said. “Good. Can you find a way to get away for the night on Friday evening?”

“You mean…all night?”

“All night,” he confirmed. “We’re going to take our time, not rush anything.” He paused. “I want to wake up with you in a bed in the morning.”

Her body tightened with anticipation even as her heart melted. “I’d like that,” she whispered.

“So can you get away?”

She thought about it. “I don’t see why not. But I can’t go far.”

“I’m going to take you further than you’ve ever been before,” he promised her, and once again she felt a hot blush wash over her from head to toe. He chuckled. “Nothing to say?”

She cleared her throat. “Not on the phone.”

He laughed even harder. But his voice dropped to a rough whisper when he spoke. “I can’t wait to get you in my arms again.”

“I can’t wait to be in your arms again,” she told him. “Where shall we meet?”

He gave her the address of a restaurant in the Historic District. “I’ll meet you outside and we’ll stow your bag in the car before dinner. I’m going to make reservations at a restored inn close by and we’ll go there after dinner.”

“We’re not going to your house?” she asked, startled.

“No. This is going to be special. I’m hoping my home will be your home one day and that wouldn’t exactly make it memorable, would it?”

Silence fell.

Had he really said what she thought he’d said?
