mind.”
    “I think we’re well on our way, don’t
you?”
    He licked a piece of chocolate from his lip.
“What do you mean?”
    She peeled a white petal from another rosebud
and slid it into her mouth. “Haven’t you noticed how chocolate
seems to follow us into each phase of our relationship?”
    He grinned and scooped her onto his lap so she
straddled his thighs. His hands rested on her hips, his fingers
drumming her bottom through her jeans. “Please explain.”
    His amused, playful grin, combined with the
way he tilted his head to one side, made her heart skip.
    She nibbled on another rosebud. “Well, for
starters, when we met, you used a chocolate chunk brownie and a
piece of Dove chocolate to teach me about orgasms.”
    He chuckled and dropped his head against the
cream-colored leather again. “That’s right. I did, didn’t I?”
    “Mm-hm. Then on Thanksgiving, right after we
got back together, you helped me make my first batch of perfect
chocolate truffles.”
    His eyelids lowered and one brow lifted
slightly, putting him halfway to The Look . “Mmmm, I think my
favorite part was when we let the ganache set.”
    “I think that was my favorite part, too.”
They’d ended up in bed having some of the most intense sex they’d
had to date.
    She lifted the rosebud in her hand. “And now
you’re wooing me yet again with more chocolate. I’m beginning to
think this is part of some chocolate conspiracy.”
    His hands eased around her rump and he pulled
her farther up his lap. He was hard, and all that hardness pressed
against her in the most lascivious way. “I just know how much you
like chocolate.”
    “Uh-huh,” she said doubtfully.
    He grinned, but the gesture did nothing to
make him appear amused. Steam-up-the-windows sexy, though? Yeah. He
definitely looked like he was one degree shy of boiling.
    His gaze dropped to her mouth as she teased
her lips with another strawberry.
    “Have I mentioned chocolate is an
aphrodisiac?” he said.
    “Isn’t that just a rumor?”
    “Absolutely not. It’s a bona fide fact.”
    “Who says?”
    He smirked, eyes narrowing. “Let me ask, are
you sexually aroused right now?”
    “Is this a trick question?”
    One thick, dark eyebrow rose contemptuously
even as his smirk evolved into a smile. “Yes or no? Are you
aroused?”
    She sighed, sinking more fully onto his lap.
“Yes, but I think that has more to do with you than the
chocolate.”
    “I rest my case.”
    She gasped. “What do you mean? That does not
prove that chocolate is an aphrodisiac.”
    “Of course it does. You’re aroused. Chocolate
is an aphrodisiac. Case closed.”
    Sharply drawing in her breath, she smacked
his shoulder, making him cringe and laugh. “The case is not closed. Your logic is seriously flawed here, Mr. Strong. I’m
aroused, yes, but not because you’re feeding me chocolate. I’m
aroused because you’re the damn sexiest man I’ve ever met. You just
look at me and I get turned on. And that has nothing to do with
chocolate unless you melt it, pour it over my naked body, and lick
it off.”
    “Mmm, now there’s an idea.” His hands skimmed
firmly up her back, pulling her forward. “Melted chocolate instead
of wax. Nice.”
    Warmth filled her cheeks, and she hid her
face against his shoulder, realizing she’d gotten a little carried
away.
    He made an affectionate noise deep in his
throat then kissed her cheek. “You do the same for me, you
know.”
    She lifted her head and drew away a few
inches so she could look at him. “What do you mean?”
    His eyes searched hers, skipping back and
forth. “Just that you walk into the room, and I get excited. You
look at me, and my heart stops. And sometimes when you touch me,
I’m not sure I can contain myself enough not to scare you.” He took
a long, deep breath, his gaze raking her body. “Because, baby, now
that you’re mine, I want to claim you in every way imaginable. And
when I say every way imaginable, I mean it.” He
