“YOUR TURN,” I tell him as I slide my white, ivory bishop diagonally and sit back in the chair.

His brows pinch together and I watch with fascination as his eyes dart all over the board, no doubt configuring many different outcomes with every possible move he can think of. The man is obsessed—no surprise there—with this game but I’ve never seen him so in his element. It took him a good ten minutes to set up the board. I could tell after the first two pieces that he wanted to cleanse them all with his soft cloth, but all it took was one shameful glance my way before he pushed the cloth away and set up the board.

It took a while for him to explain the rules to me, but once I had a decent understanding, we began. With each move, he’d ask me if I were sure. I know he was trying to help but it made me second-guess each placement of the chess pieces. It was as if he played himself for so long that he couldn’t bear to win so easily. Clearly I’m no match for him.

“Are you sure you didn’t want to move your rook there instead?” he points to a black square.

I scrunch my nose and lean forward. The rook seems like he protects my king so I don’t want to move him. No other moves seem possible aside from the bishop. Tapping my bottom lip with my fingertip, I consider what he might have planned against me.

“I think so…”

He grunts and hovers his hand over the board. “Checkmate.” With finesse, he lifts the knight and leaps it over a pawn to attack my king.

Our eyes meet and he smirks at me, satisfaction written all over his face. It’s a handsome look on him. I’ve always been competitive when it comes to board games but with one look, I want to lose all the games with him—just to see that cocked eyebrow and smile lifted up on one side.

“You cheated,” I say with a laugh.

His gaze falls to my mouth and I watch his Adam’s apple bob in his throat as he swallows. Now that the game is over and he isn’t fixated on the board, I’ve become his new obsession. He skims over the silky material of my nightgown, slowing at my breasts, and then drops his eyes to my bare thighs.

I could have changed into something more decent but I kind of liked feeling sexy for him. The thought of him losing control again and kissing me more dizzies me. His mouth on mine had been decadent. War is lost inside of his own head most of the time, but for that brief moment, he’d lost himself in me.

And I liked it.

I chew on my lip, savoring the lingering taste of him there, and slightly drag my gown up my legs, revealing more skin on my thighs. With my eyes on him, I watch for any signs indicating that what he sees excites him.
