Azure, Jane suddenly thought. That was the exact way to describe the lovely shade of this man’s eyes.

“Good suggestion...” He gently maneuvered Jane, causing her to move backwards until her back touched the wall. “But it’s too long.”

And you’re too close, Jane couldn’t help thinking as the stranger’s arms landed on each side of her face.

His lean, hard body started closing in on her.

I should run, Jane thought, but I don’t want to.

Jaike and Fawn were right.

Something interesting was bound to happen as long as she put herself out there.

She definitely owed her friends a dinner—-

Azure eyes captured hers.

—-or two.

“I’ve thought of something,” he whispered.

She couldn’t help whispering back, “What?”

His head started to lower, and Jane found herself slowly inhaling.

“How about...something very American...like baby?”

Jane choked.

The stranger smirked.

“Seriously?”

“Try it,” he coaxed.

She tested it out. “B-baby...”

“That sounds good,” he purred. “Say it again.”

“Baby.”

“Again.”

“Ba—-”

And that was when his lips covered hers.

Her eyes closed.

His lips moved over hers, instructing and wooing, seducing and soothing at the same time. Her lips parted, and a soft groan escaped the stranger.

“Sweet pet...”

His tongue slid in, and Jane’s body trembled.

So this was how it was, she thought dazedly, to be penetrated with a kiss.

When his mouth left her, she almost begged him to kiss her again but managed to swallow the words in time.
