I laughed. “You wanted not just a slow dance but a really long slow dance.”

“Paradise City didn’t really work in this context.” He strolled to the center of the room and held out his hand.

I took one more sip of wine and placed the glass down. Then I hopped off the stool and walked toward him. His large fingers wrapped around mine, and he pulled me close. He was solid and big as a brick wall as I leaned against him. I’d been slightly nervous the entire time we were cleaning, but I relaxed as soon as his arm went around me. In fact, I felt completely at ease with him as if I was used to being in his arms. And I had no idea why.

We drifted over the still slightly gritty floor and listened to Axl croon out the lyrics to November Rain, feeling inexplicably comfortable in each other’s presence. It might have been because my first introduction to the man was cleaning and bandaging his wounds, but I felt as if I already knew him well. Of course, I knew there were probably a million things about the guy I didn’t know and probably didn’t want to know.

He leaned back and lifted my chin with his fingers. “There it is— that curvy bottom lip,” he said quietly. “That plump bottom lip has been on my mind all damn day.” With that he lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me. It wasn’t a hard, punishing kiss. It was gentle and coaxing. My knees softened with each stroke of his tongue. The kiss continued and got deeper, not rougher, just deeper, and with slow deliberate teases his tongue ran along my lips. I melted against him. He’d come straight off a road trip on a bike, raw, rough around the edges and frighteningly powerful, and, yet, his kisses made me feel as if I was being kissed by a prince from a damn fairy tale.

I popped up onto the toes of my boots and wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands went to my waist as his kisses continued. His hands were calloused and strong as he slid them beneath my shirt. We broke from the kiss just long enough for him to pull the shirt off over my head. There I was in my lacy bra, standing in the center of the bar I worked in, with a man who was little more than a stranger, and one who I might not get into an elevator alone with if I didn’t know him. This wasn’t just me adapting to a new lifestyle where properness, elite attitudes and expected behaviors were no longer important. This was me being genuinely excited about spending time with a man who was completely different than anyone else I’d ever been with. I wanted him to take off every stitch of my clothing and do everything my dirty imagination could drum up.

I peered up into his green eyes. His lids were heavier now as he looked down at me.
