Numb from the wine and the good mood she was in, Alexandra kept her gaze outside, enjoying the spectacular view of the city at night. As the limo sped down the well-lit avenue, she watched the lights from the street and the billboards blend into one, creating an amazing spectrum. She could sense Mark’s electrifying presence and his gaze burning into her skin, but she couldn’t allow herself to look at him and be drawn into the dark, passionate ocean of his eyes. Feeling her defenses subside, she knew that his mere touch could send her over the edge and right into his arms.

As soon as the limo left them in front of the apartment building, Alexandra rushed inside and into the elevator. On the way up, she kept her eyes on the honey-brown marble floor tiles, knowing that Mark watched her closely. Walking on the luxurious burgundy carpet towards the apartment entrance, the alluring sensation of his sizzling gaze made it difficult for her to keep her gait steady.

When they stepped inside, she was in a hurry to disappear into the sanctuary of her bedroom. She didn’t want to be alone with him as she felt quite vulnerable at that moment, and especially after all the wine she had consumed tonight.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful evening,” she murmured and was embarrassed to hear the trembling in her voice.

Mark didn’t respond, and Alexandra lifted her eyes to look at him. He was standing unbearably close, with no lights on except the dim Tiffany lamp on a round end table. His adorable face was staring down at her. The passion burning in his eyes made her mouth go dry and her pulse accelerate.

“If you excuse me, I would like to go to bed,” she started, but the words died on her lips as he reached and pulled her into his arms. She knew she should protest, but it felt so right… His mouth—hot and demanding—came down on hers, scattering her thoughts in every direction, while his hands caressed her spine, sliding down to the small of her back. She could taste the wine in his mouth, and her senses went wild… she wanted him so bad, and she could tell he wanted her, too. Oh, no, she thought as his lips moved downward, leaving a burning trail on her throat. I need to stop this right now before it’s too late. But her body wasn’t responding to her mind. It had a will of its own.

It was Mark who pulled away from her. She stood there lost with a sense of emptiness, watching him walking towards the windows, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“Good night, Alexandra,” he said, and his voice vibrated with passion.

Alexandra took a deep breath and stood there for a couple of seconds, unable to move or say anything. Her heart cried out to him.

Mark didn’t turn towards her. He just stood with his hands in his pockets, staring at the darkness outside.

“Good night, Mark,” she finally whispered and turned towards her room.
