“Well, I learned that your dominant hand is your past, and your nondominant hand is your future.Do you want to know your future?”
His smile was wolfish, his stare penetrating, and I found myself enjoying it way too much as he lifted his palm and gazed at it.“I’m done with my past,” he said.
“Okay, so…” I motioned to his left hand, but he gave me his right.“Left-handed?”
He raised his eyebrows.“Yep.”
“Interesting.I’m left-handed too.”
“I always knew I liked you.”
I lifted his palm into my lap, holding it with both of my hands.He watched me in amusement as I traced my finger over his palm.He had calluses there, the sign of someone who liked to work with his hands.Strong hands.Hands I could see working their way up the curves of my body.
I suppressed a shiver at that thought.“You have a very nice, long, straight heart line.That’s this one.So that means you have a good handle on your emotions.You know what you want, when you want it.”
His voice was husky, intimate.“Sounds right.”
I could sense his eyes on me as I slowly stroked his fingers.But I could only think of the way his skin felt against mine.It was just our hands touching, and it was electric, sending a frisson of energy through my body.“This deep, long head line means your thinking is clear and focused.”
He let out a snort but didn’t say anything.
I lifted an eyebrow.“No?”
“About some things.”
I ran my finger over the curved line that went to his wrist.“This is your life line.It’s very strong and semi-circular, which indicates strength and enthusiasm.”
He touched a line in his palm, his fingers grazing mine.“And what does this one mean?”
“That’s your fate line.It’s very faint, but it shows that you will not let fate control you.”I smiled.“Interesting, Mr.Heads or Tails.”
I looked up at him, and his eyes were on me.
Oh, my heart.I definitely loved chocolate, but the best chocolate was the color of his eyes.
He was closer now and smelled so good, kind of like cedar, only spicy, and all man.My heart did a jig in my chest.Is he going to kiss me?
A bolt of fear shot through me.
Before he could make the move, I looked down again, breaking the spell.“And it looks by the shape of your hands that they are definitely fire hands,” I added lightly.“Which means you’re impulsive and spontaneous.”
I dropped his hands quickly when I remembered that Anthony also had fire hands.
This was such a big mistake.
“I want to see your hands,” he said, his voice commanding.
I hid them behind my back and shook my head.I couldn’t say I believed in palmistry, but in the off chance a reading of my palm would reveal any one of the thousands of things I was trying to keep under wraps, I couldn’t risk being that exposed.
Didn’t matter how much I wanted to touch him again.
“If that’s the way you want to play it.I’ll have to read you some other way.”
When I looked up, I realized he was staring at me in a most disconcerting way, making me flush.“And how would you do that?”I murmured.
He opened his mouth to say something, but just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket, and he pulled it out, studying the words from a text.He straightened.“It appears your aunt is being admitted into the hospital.”
I jumped to my knees.“What?”
