"It's been a long time since a woman tempted me the way you do," he whispers. His breath is hot against my face.
"What happened last time?" I asked, scared of what his answer might be.
"I gave away everything."
"Would you give me everything?" Do I want everything from him? My heart and body say yes, but my head says no way in hell.
He chuckles. "No, but I might give you one wish."
"Send me home."
His face falls for a second, but he recovers quickly. "I'm already working on that. But you do realize that everything has a price. Even home."
"What's the price?" I ask.
He drops his lips closer to mine. "Perhaps a kiss, perhaps more." He presses his body against mine, and a thrill races up my spine. He doesn't realize I'd give him the kiss no matter what. Never mind that he already promised to send me home with no talk of prices.
The fires go out, and I drop my ropes, but I don't move away from him. His eyes bore into mine, and his lips are a breath away. My body shivers. I'm ready for this.
