attention once again.
Lana felt giddy being this close to him. Her body tingled and she felt those fluttery things in her stomach once more. She thought it was the equivalent of being inside a bottle of champagne.
“What’s that?” she asked, her eyes dropping to his lips, wondering what it would be like to kiss him. Her cheeks heated and she forced her eyes to look at his, not wanting him to know what she’d been thinking. It was too embarrassing.
“Let me show you that sex can be great,” he said.
Lana gasped, and leaned back a few inches against the soft leather seat of the limousine. “Excuse me?” she asked, needing to hear his words again, sure she hadn’t heard them correctly.
He watched her expressions closely as he went into more detail. “Let me teach you about sex, Lana. I think you’ll enjoy it much more with an experienced lover.”
Lana’s mouth dropped open. “You’re serious?” Surely this was a dream and he hadn’t just offered his services as tutor. Right?
Victor’s smile was one of absolute sensuality – if that could ever be applied to a man. “Of course I am. I think you’re gorgeous and all afternoon, I’ve been trying to figure out how to get you into my bed. This seems like a win-win situation,” he teased.
She blushed painfully at his comment even though her heart was about to burst from the speed at which it was racing. “You want me in your bed?” She couldn’t believe that. It was too wonderful. “Even after all I’ve told you?” Impossible.
One dark eyebrow went up with her question. “Do you doubt it?”
She snapped her mouth closed and looked away from the amusement she saw lurking in his eyes. “Frankly, yes. Why would you want me in your bed?”
Victor put a finger under her chin, gently raising her face so she was looking at him again. “Because you’re beautiful and sexy as hell,” he repeated. He pulled a card out of his wallet and wrote something on the back. “Here’s my private cell phone number. Think about it tonight and call me tomorrow.” They were already at her apartment and he stepped out, then reached in to offer her a hand.
Lana took the card and stared at his name. Victor Davenport. She didn’t know him and yet her hand was still in his large, warm one and he’d just offered to become her lover. What a strange series of events, she thought. She knew her mind was wrapping around details that were superfluous but she couldn’t help it. She just couldn’t accept and absorb his offer. It was just too bizarre.
Taking a deep breath, she looked up from his card to examine his features, noting the confidence and arrogance, the hard jaw line and cheekbones that should have been on a male model. But there was a gentleness there as well. And admiration? For her?
Ridiculous. A man as obviously successful as this one wouldn’t find much to admire in a person like her. “I don’t think…” she started to say and tried to hand him back his card.
Victor refused to take the card back. He took her hand and folded her slender fingers around the white velum. “Don’t reject the idea immediately. At least think about it. And let me know tomorrow. Call me,” he said and leaned down, letting his lips brush hers gently. He didn’t stop at a small, simple kiss though. His mouth brushed against hers, then his tongue darted out and tasted her lower lip. A moment later, he sucked her lip into his mouth, before gently covering her mouth once again.
The tingling that had started in her stomach from his initial suggestion, flared out, speeding electric currents all through her body. Her fingers gently touched his shoulder, careful not to put too much pressure there, lest he know she was doing it.
Lana was so surprised by the heat that rushed through her when she felt his lips, she forgot to pull back. In fact, her body swayed towards his, wanting to feel the touch once again, to see if it was real or not.
He pulled back and looked down into
