couldn’t hide my thoughts. Every time he asked a question, the answer just seemed to tumble out.
    “Let me ask you something. Do you believe in fairy tales?”
    What does that have to do with anything?
    I was taken aback a little but decided to find out where he was going with this.
    “Yes, sure, some more than others,” I replied.
    “I’m talking about the ones with princes and princesses.”
    “Okay, yes, I do believe in them,” I said after thinking for a second.
    He confused me even more and I decided to play along. Didn’t every girl believe in princes, just a little bit?
    “So, in all those stories, somehow the prince always finds his princess, no matter the weather, the werewolves or lack of Internet, right?”
    He was so animated and cute and made me giggle like a little girl. I composed myself and squared my shoulders to show him that I took him seriously. Still, I couldn’t hide my smile.
    “Right,” I answered his question.
    “What I’m saying is, there are ways to find a person or find out where he or she lives if you put your mind to it. It’s really not that hard, having the Internet and all.”
    By then, he was smiling too. He must have heard himself talking, trying to make me believe that he was a prince and I was a princess.
    “So where are we having dinner,” I asked, just to move past that awkward smiling at each other.
    “Since you look so nice, I’d like to take you somewhere very special,” he answered with a secretive smile on his face.
    “What’s it called?”
    He laughed out loud, but catching my surprised expression, stopped immediately. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered.
    “Home.”
    He kissed my neck right below my ear before inhaling again, as if he couldn’t get enough of my scent. A low grunt emerged from his throat as he pulled away. The moment was so hot that I subconsciously started fanning myself. He smiled his sexy, lazy smile and looked out the window. I lost all track of time, stuck in an enclosed space with this dangerously sexy man, my mind racing at the thought of him taking me to his place.
    Would we be alone there?
    I didn’t even notice we’d arrived.
    “We’re here,” he declared, pulling me out of my ruminations.
    “Oh.”
    We were just outside the city of Denver, close to the mountains. The house was beautiful with a modern finish and three stories. The sun was setting and the mixture of yellow and orange played on the huge windows of the house.
    “I’ll have my driver on standby. If you wish to leave, just let me know.”
    His expression was serious and he was waiting for an answer. I nodded.
    Nathan got out of the car, walked around it and opened my door.
    “This is just breathtaking,” I remarked, unable to hide my amazement.
    This must be what paradise looks like.
    “Yeah, wait ‘til you see the view,” he said, taking my hand in his.
    This isn’t the view?!
    His touch was so soft and strong at the same time. I was still looking around to take it all in when he tugged me gently. I followed him into the house.
    “Would you like a grand tour or shall we eat first?”
    “Definitely the tour,” I replied with a big smile on my face.
    Why was I so happy? It wasn’t like he had invited me to live there with him. It was just dinner!
    Pull yourself together, woman, and don’t get your hopes up!
    He tugged my hand as we crossed the hall. He had a couple of paintings on either side, evening the hallway out.
    “Did you decorate yourself?”
    “Some parts of the house, yes. That’s the kitchen, but we’ll come back here later,” he explained, pointing to the left.
    I only got a glimpse of the enormous space with high-tech appliances, a kitchen island and a family table fit for at least ten people.
    “This is the living area.”
    He guided me to a huge room, almost like a ballroom, which stretched up through all three floors.
    “You could organize a ball here,” I thought out loud, wondering.
    “I could,” he said, thinking
