Excerpt:
Gwen announces that it's time to
eat and we make our way to the kitchen with T leading the way. I stiffen
momentarily when Ian's fingertips rest gently against my lower back but soon
relax beneath his reassuring touch as he guides me forward.
Several times during dinner, I
sense Ian's eyes on me, and I glance up. The first couple of times, I quickly
avert my gaze to the plate in front of me. But now, a glass and a half of wine
later, it's getting harder to shift my attention elsewhere. He watches me through
hooded eyes, and I refuse to look away. I reach for my wine and swirl the
liquid slowly around in the goblet. I take a long swallow and slowly run my
tongue around the perimeter of my tingling lips, teasing him. His eyes darken
and the corner of his mouth tips into a half smirk.
After we eat, I stand, offering
to help Gwen clear the table. Shockwaves of electricity jolt down the center of
my back when Ian steps behind me and whispers into my ear. "Thank God you
weren't eating a banana or I might have had to excuse myself from the dinner
table for a few minutes." I draw my lips between my teeth to keep a mad
case of giggles from erupting.
"I'll go bring in some wood
for the fire," Ian offers. Under his breath he mutters low enough only for
me to hear, "It'll be the closest thing to a cold shower I can get away
with right now."
"Do you want me to help?"
I whisper playfully.
"No. You’ve done more than
enough already," he shakes his head. Gwen arches an eyebrow at his remark.
I understand the meaning behind his words and grin. He shrugs and walks outside
with a huge smile on his face.
