His dark eyes looked down at her with such…hunger was the only way she could describe it. It made her want to drag him down onto the nearest horizontal surface and have her wicked way with him.

When he didn’t immediately respond, she said, “Okay, I’m going to get dressed. If your mom is nice enough to cook for us, the least we can do is show up before it gets cold.”
She picked up her clothes and started up the steps with Tino right behind her. When they reached the top, he finally spoke. “Natalie, we’ll do whatever it takes to get your life back on track today. Afterward, I’ve got to take care of some personal stuff, but I promise I’ll be back in touch soon.”
“Okay.” She cupped his cheek with the palm of her hand. “But when you’re done doing whatever you need to do, we need to have a long talk. I’ve got questions.”
He turned his head to press a kiss on the palm of her hand. “I don’t doubt that. I promise I’ll have answers.”
“Good. Now, we need to get moving. Your mom is waiting.”
