penetrating her to her soul.
Tracy wondered what would happen if they got together. Would she be able to live the life of an agent’s significant other? Never knowing for sure if he would be coming back home alive. It was something to consider if things became serious between them; and he certainly acted like that was what he wanted.
“What’s going on in that beautiful head of yours?” he asked.
She was mesmerized by his smile and twinkling golden eyes. How easy it would be to fall in love with him.
“Just thinking that you live a very adventurous life. Mine seems boring in comparison,” she sighed.
“Are you kidding? You just sold out at the Art de Magnifigance Exhibit! I would hardly call that dull and lifeless,” he said in astonishment.
“I guess,” she said softly.
“What’s bothering you?” he inquired gently.
She looked down into her lap and remained silent. Blaze had little trouble reading her body language. She was concerned about his work.
“Don’t worry about me, Tracy,” he added. “Nothing will happen to me; I won’t take any chances with my life. I have too much to live for…now.”
“Promise?” She lifted her lovely hazel eyes to him.
He squeezed her hands gently.
“I promise,” he swore.
He realized at that moment how much he wanted to keep that promise. Tracy had become very important to him in a very short period of time. He didn’t want to disappoint her and he didn’t want to be away from her. He found that he wanted to spend every waking moment with her; and every sleeping one, for that matter.
He heard music playing and looked across the plaza to see people dancing in a rotunda.
“Come on. Let’s dance,” he said happily.
He paid the check then they left the restaurant. He grabbed her hand and towed her across the street toward the rotunda. He pulled her into his arms and held her close as they moved to the soft, rhythmic music.
Tracy relaxed in his strong, powerful arms and laid her head on his muscular shoulder. He was a good dancer. He led effortlessly and she thought little of what her next step should be. Once she realized how in control he was, she simply allowed him to gently guide her wherever he wanted her to go.
They were dancing under the stars and it was glorious. Tracy peaked upward and saw the stars sparkling brilliantly. They reminded her of the light that shone from Blaze’s eyes. She hadn’t known him for very long but she was confident that he was the good, kind man that he seemed. Her knight without the armor.
Tracy leaned into Blaze and he immediately pulled her closer. She could feel his hard penis pressing into her. She liked the long, full feel of it and wondered what it would be like for it to be thrusting into her. She realized that she wanted that time to come between them, sooner rather than later. And as she rotated her hips against him, he made it clear that he wanted the same thing.
“Keep that up and we’re going to have to find a place to be alone,” he murmured in her ear.
“Maybe that’s not such a bad idea,” she whispered.
He stopped moving and looked down at her. He wondered if she was teasing him. He needed to be sure of what she was saying.
“Is this just playful talk or are you saying you want to have sex with me?” he asked, cutting to the chase.
So, there it was—out in the open. This guy didn’t mess around. He looked into her eyes as he waited for her answer.
Tracy took her time answering. This was an important question and it needed to be answered carefully. Taking this step was big for her and she normally didn’t move so fast in a relationship. Could she do so with Blaze? She was definitely attracted to him; but was she ready to sleep with him?
“I’m not sure. At least I’m not sure if I’m ready for that at this moment,” she said slowly. “I shouldn’t have teased you as I did. I’m sorry.”
He
