Ariana had just gotten dressed, her skin still supple from the mist of the shower, when Rennen came to the door. She flung it open—he looked at her, she looked at him—the air crackling with unleashed energy. A soft cry escaped her lips as they rushed into each other’s arms. His lips crushed hers with a savage passion as he pulled her closer. A delicious rush wicked through Ariana, making her feel like she was riding a dozen roller coasters all at once. She savored the fire that simmered through her bones as she clung to him, the kiss deepening to the point where she felt their very souls were connecting. This man was filling her heart and soul, taking everything from her, then regenerating it and giving her back impossibly more. She ran her hands over his back, her fingers memorizing the firmness of his sinewy muscles and how they rolled underneath his shirt.

He pulled back, assessing her. “You’re amazing.”

“So are you,” she uttered, getting lost in the depth of his jade, gold eyes—flecks of sunlight on the tips of a lush, green forest.

He searched her face. “For a moment there, I was afraid I’d lost you.”

Emotion clogged her throat. “I thought so too,” she uttered.

A teasing smile stretched over his lips, lightening the mood. “You taste sweet, like root beer.”

Her eyes snapped open, face warming. “Dr. Pepper, actually.” Sheesh. She’d not yet brushed her teeth. Her breath was probably atrocious. She was grateful she’d thrown away the food wrappers and other incriminating evidence of her carb overload before she jumped in the shower.

Adventure lit his face. “You ready?”

“Almost. I just have to finish packing a few things.” And brush my teeth, she added mentally.

He stepped away from her and went to the photographs hanging on the wall.

She held her breath, watching him assess them.

He lifted an eyebrow. “These are yours?”

“Yes.” The photographs were of landscapes mostly, but one was of her mother and father in the kitchen at Los Tios. She’d caught them in the throes of the dinner hour, their faces glistening with a sheen of sweat, holding platters of food. The picture was one of Ariana’s favorites because it captured her parents in motion, a slice of precious time forever preserved.

“These are good.” He turned to her, admiration shining in his eyes. “Really good. You’re a woman of many talents.”

“Thanks,” she murmured, a burst of pleasure running through her. She brought her hands together, pulling herself into action. “Well, I’ll only be a few more minutes. Make yourself at home.”

He nodded, turning his attention back to the photographs, studying them with such intensity that Ariana would’ve thought they were fine art pieces in a museum rather than simple photographs. It was immensely gratifying to know that Rennen was interested in the things she valued. Excitement brimmed through her as she rushed into her bedroom to finish getting ready for the trip.
