Luke smiled, but he also seemed to shift uncomfortably as she adjusted the tie.
“Are you okay?”she asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“I didn’t think it was that tight.Let me just...”she moved to loosen the cord, but Luke flinched away.
A sudden realization made Hallie grin.“You’re ticklish!Your neck, that’s where you’re ticklish!”
“No!”He backed away a step.
“Then I can touch your neck?”she asked, smiling innocently and reaching out a hand.
“Okay, fine, you’ve discovered where I’m ticklish.I hope you’re happy.”
“I am happy.”
Maybe Luke took it as a general statement of her happiness overall because he moved back towards her, and before she could think about what was happening, she was being held in his arms, his lips meeting hers.
The kiss not only took her breath away.It took away the memory of any other kisses before that being any good.
Blood surged through her arteries, sending her heart into a frenzy of drumming.The scent of Luke’s skin, the taste of his lips, and the pressure of his lips against hers combined into something intoxicating.
The way he held her with a growing passion and possessiveness infused the kiss with a vibrant sense of longing and a hint of danger.
She could see why all those women were left broken-hearted if he had ever kissed them like that and then never called again.

Whatever the kiss meant, it felt amazing.Hallie raised a hand to her lips as she caught her breath.
“Wow,” she said.She had tried to think of something more interesting to say, but that about summed it up.
Luke had never looked so handsome.Maybe it was because he allowed his vulnerability to show, a tender look in his eyes and a flush on his face.He gazed at her in an astonished way, as if he hadn’t expected her reaction to be so positive.
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” he said.
