eyes. “Why are
you here?”
    She canted her head to the side, the
question having caught her off guard. “I lost a bet,” she said
simply. She wasn’t exactly keen on sharing her life story with a
strange man, no matter how attractive he might be.
    “I can relate,” he said as he leaned against
the bar. “My brother kind of dragged me out here tonight.” Andreas
lifted a hand to scratch his head in embarrassment. “Tyler is a
real ladies’ man,” he explained.
    “Maybe he’ll meet Nicole!” Eva joked with a
slight snicker.
    “Wouldn’t that be amusing?” he replied. His
eyes lingered over Eva as he spoke. He could see the perspiration
glistening on her chest from her vigorous dancing. He found himself
staring, and imagining all the other ways he could make her sweat.
His pants began to tighten again, and he wondered why he couldn’t
seem to control these thoughts.
    Noticing the way he was looking at her, Eva
bit her lip. “Surely you didn’t bring me over here just have a
drink of water and talk about my friend,” she said coyly, in a way
she hoped was flirtatious.
    He shook his head, a smile forming on his
lips. “Take a walk with me,” he said calmly as he raised himself
from his barstool.
    Eva’s lips quirked in surprise, but she
found her body moving in compliance. There was a definite predatory
glint in his hazel-green eyes. It held her transfixed, and she knew
that she wanted to go wherever he intended to take her. She needed
what she saw in his eyes. It had been so long since anyone had
looked at her the way Andreas was now—and if they had, she hadn’t
noticed. At home, she always needed to be the responsible one, but
now she yearned to throw caution to the wind. All of her worries
were over a thousand miles away. She craved the thought of allowing
this man to touch her, and letting her body just melt away with
his.
    Just as she was wishing this, she felt
Andreas take her hand. His fingers confidently intertwined with
hers as he guided her away from the party and out along the beach.
She found herself gazing at his powerful legs as his muscled
rippled with every step he took. He was so large and intimidating
that it made her feel small—but she was not frightened. Her feet
pressed into the soft sand and the ocean breeze filled her nostrils
with its salty scent.
    “Are you leading me away so that you can
ravage me?” Eva asked him teasingly.
    “Of course,” he said in his deep voice as he
glanced over his shoulder.
    Something in his eyes made her stomach ache
with desire. This was not like her. She licked her lips slightly,
trying to caution herself. They hardly knew each other—they had
hardly even spoken! But there was no need for words. He seemed to
have the ability to communicate a great deal with only his
expression. Each step they took and each look they shared made the
passion within her grow until she felt like she might burst unless
she had him. “You should,” she whispered, almost too softly to be
heard.
    The words caught him off guard and he turned
around quite suddenly. He looked at her carefully, studying her
eyes for confirmation. In the soft moonlight, her sweet face was
irresistible. He actually hadn’t been sure of his own intentions,
but now that she had spoken those words, he felt powerless to
resist. It was like some dam was breaking inside of his mind, to
know that she desired him as much as he craved her. Andreas could
no longer control himself. Reaching out to cup her cheek with his
palm, he stared down at her with a strange intensity. He leaned
down, closing the distance between their faces, but he did not
allow their lips to meet. He hovered an inch away from her face,
allowing her to feel his breathing tickling her lips. Their minds
knew what was about to come, yet they wished to prolong the
inevitable, to savor the moment like fine wine.
    Eva’s heart was racing. With the closeness
of his lips, her heart only beat faster. She felt like the organ
was going
