EXCERPT
“Dance with
me, Mackenzie,” he said, holding my hand in his, sensually placing the other
just below my hip bone.
“What are
you−”
“Shhh…,” he
admonished, expertly leading me in our dance, the band playing Cole Porter’s
Every Time We Say Goodbye. “Just enjoy it and don’t think.”
I simply
nodded, turning my head to scan the restaurant.
“Mackenzie,
eyes on me. I need to know you’re with me.”
I snapped my
eyes back to his, my mouth slightly agape as my heart pounded in my chest. He
was warm and spellbinding. The way he held me in his arms comforted me and made
me feel as if they were made to hold me.
“Are you
with me?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.
“Yes,” I
said, my voice soft.
He leaned
toward me and the bit of stubble on his chin brushed my skin. “Yes what?” he
whispered.
“I’m with
you.”
The corners
of his lips turned up slightly and there was a spark about him that wasn’t
present yesterday. “I like the sound of that, Miss Delano.”
He pulled me
closer and I tilted my head to peer into his striking eyes, needing the
connection I felt at that moment. It was unlike anything I had ever
experienced, all because of a well-placed hand, a sinfully sexy voice, eyes
that made me want to melt, and arms that felt like home.
“Who would
have thought that the Mackenzie whose lips I couldn’t stop seeing in my dreams
last night would turn out to be Mackenzie Delano, proprietor of South Padre’s
hottest new spot?”
“How did−”
“Shhh,” he
said once more. “You think too much. Just enjoy the moment because it’s over
once the band plays the final note to this melody.”
I snapped my
mouth shut, a strange awareness of loss washing over me at the prospect of this
complete stranger walking away from me once the song came to an end, wondering
if I would ever see him again.
“You’re a
lovely dancer, Miss Delano,” he commented.
“Thank you,”
I answered, unsure of whether to say anything further. He seemed to be in
complete control of the dance, of his words…and of mine. And, for the first
time, I was okay with someone else calling the shots.
“You have a
dancer’s body. I’m confident you’ve bewitched quite a few men with the way you
can seamlessly navigate the dance floor.” He leaned toward me and whispered, “I
must confess… You’ve bewitched me.”
His voice
was sweet as it crooned in my ear, and I was left a silent, blubbering mute,
the sincerity in his declaration sparking a renewed sense of longing I had
ignored for years. My breathing grew ragged, and I was unable to formulate any
response. I simply lost myself in the moment of our dance, wanting his sensual
words to ring in the recesses of my mind for all eternity. I wished I could
have recorded his voice murmuring those endearing words to me so I could replay
them over and over again when I needed to feel something I didn’t think I would
ever feel again.
He molded my
frame to his, our bodies swaying to the classic tune, and began to sing along
with the band. I imagined he was singing to me, and me alone. His voice was
deep and guttural, but sweet as he leaned toward my neck and crooned the last
verse into my ear. I closed my eyes, losing myself in his warmth, his voice,
his everything.
All too
soon, the final note rang out, silence encompassing the room, but we continued
to sway to the music in our heads, our rhythm perfectly in tune to each other.
A loud drum kick echoed, startling me, and I opened my eyes, almost expecting
it all to be a dream. But it wasn’t, and I was met with my mysterious
stranger’s strong face. Time stood still as we simply stared at each other,
neither one of us moving. I licked my dry lips, nerves causing my breathing to
grow more intense and labored.
He grabbed
my hand and brought it to his soft lips, placing a kiss on it. The contact
caused a rush of adrenaline to run through me. Before I could ask his name, he
was gone, leaving me stunned and alone once more.
