Chapter Seven

NORA HAD NO idea how they got from the street outside the gallery to her loft.

There was only the heat of Zair’s mouth, the desperate, slick slide of his lips on hers. His hands were in her hair, her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, and everything else was that blistering fire and the summer storm all around them, as though it was part of them, inside them.

As though it was called into being by that endless, glorious, heart-stopping kiss. Urgent and dark. Desperate and hot. And then the two of them were inside her loft with the bolt thrown to lock them in and there was nothing left in her world but Zair.

She felt alive again. Vibrant and electric, as if he were the only source of power in the universe and she’d plugged herself back in.

He didn’t speak. He moved farther into the great space, headed toward the windows on the far side, and Nora found herself holding on to the door as if it were the only tether keeping her on the earth. She remembered that first night in France, when she’d been the one at the windows. She remembered how wild her heart had been in her chest, how hard it had been not to show her fear.

But when Zair turned back to face her, he didn’t look anything like afraid.

“Tell me what you want.”

His voice was low, but she felt it as if it were inside her skin. The rain drummed against the high windows, making the shadowy loft seem closer, tighter, with only the one lamp she left on in the far corner near her couches and chairs shedding any light.

It felt as intimate as a touch. As perfect. As if everything that happened here would be safe.

Nora didn’t think. She moved toward him—but some instinct made her stop when she was an arm’s length away. His gaze was so green, so dark, it very nearly hurt. But it was that different kind of hurt. Like when he’d tugged on her hair that long ago first night and everything within her had bloomed to life, pain like pleasure, indistinguishable.

“You,” she said. Her voice was soft, but clear. Perfectly clear. Free of any doubt.

He shrugged out of the jacket he wore, then kicked off his shoes, and she told herself it was simply because he was soaked through. That there was nothing particularly erotic about it. But her heart sped up, and between her legs, that fire seemed to burn brighter.

“You can have me,” he said when he was facing her again. He closed the distance between them and Nora didn’t know what that was in her, that bright ribbon of need and longing, that made her stand completely still. As if she were on display again—but this time, she wanted to be. This time, she felt nothing like an object when he reached over and took her jaw in his hard hand. She felt precious. Adored. “It’s only a question of how.”

How.

And everything inside her shifted.
