Chapter Twelve

A whistle in the distance stirred Jasmine as it dinged in recurrent succession. She rolled from her back to her side only to find vacancy where Luke’s firm body previously rested. She searched for the man she’d just shared her soul with, but he wasn’t within her view. Then, heavy footsteps eased down the hardwood stairs, and when his edgy silhouette came into view, Jasmine smiled dreamily.

Luke strolled up to Jasmine, placing his hands on the bed. He leaned toward her and brushed the warm curve of her lips with his own.

“We’re here,” he said. He saw her look around again. “You don’t need your clothes. My lakeshore home sits on seven acres of its own land. There’s no one around to see you or hear you scream for miles.” His eyes delved into hers, making Jasmine tremble slightly.

He chuckled and stood back upright, holding his hand out for her to take. “Let’s go.”

Without another thought, Jasmine removed the silk sheets. They slid from her body, and she accepted Luke’s hand, and then with an easy transition, he pulled Jasmine across the sheets on her knees where he gathered her in a sweep of his strong arms.

Jasmine held on to his neck as Luke strolled purposefully up the hardwood steps onto the deck and down the metal ramp that connected his yacht to the wooden landing. His chest was still bare, and Jasmine felt so relaxed in the comfort of his torso. Luke’s thermal body was packed with impenetrable muscle, and the beard that hung from his chin held a fragrance of recently washed shampoo. As he walked, Jasmine only watched Luke, seeing him in a new light since they’d connected intimately.

“You know if I were trying to kidnap you, you would have no way to escape or know where I was holding you since you’re not paying attention, sweetheart.”

“It’s because I don’t care,” she said, her voice thick and sultry.

Luke glanced down at her soft delicately round face and temptingly curved mouth.

“Hmmm, now I’m even more inclined to abduct you,” he said, sticking his face between her neck to nuzzle her chin. A wave of hotness held them close, but Luke’s movements never paused.

Jasmine giggled from the pleasure she felt with him being so near.

“Hey, mister, you’ve got to watch where you’re going. You’re carrying a naked lady here.”

A dark rumble trekked from Luke.

“So, I am, but you don’t have to worry about that. I know this place like the back of my hand. I could walk here with my eyes closed.”

It was then that Jasmine turned her face from his to their surroundings. Her mouth fell open. “Oh, my goodness.”

What appeared to be a two-story cottage sat housed on a long stretch of lawn. A stone pathway ran to a wooden three stair porch, and rose bushes were planted from the side of the porch where they disappeared around the house. Jasmine’s eyes twinkled in the moonlight, and she couldn’t help but wonder if the land had its own garden.
