“Smooth.” That’s what she thought after a while. Smooth. She might have said “slick,” but somehow that sounded disrespectful. She had been resolute in her determination not to let her restless heart rule her this time, yet here she was watching twilight turn into evening in the reflection in his eyes. Those gorgeous eyes. Blue, but not like a lake, they were the color of slate and waiting to be written on in that fine, firm hand.

She asked him what he was thinking and watched the corners of his mouth turn upward slightly as his only immediate reply. He smiled as much with his eyes as he did with his lips. Such tempting lips. They were soft and full and surrounded by the kind of artfully casual “scruff” that at three days growth seemed more like a completed project than the simple lack of shaving. And in her mind, at least, she knew that the beard would be soft and supple against her skin and smell sweetly of the cologne that drifted softly on the air around them.

He reached across the small table to touch her hand and whispered, “I know a place . . . .” in that light Aussie accent she found so appealing. But before he could finish the thought, she met his eyes directly and gave a short, quick nod before looking away shyly. When they rose from the table, he took a casual hold on her arm. “Aren’t you going to ask . . . ?”

She turned and smiled up at him. “Maybe later,” she said softly. “For now, I’d follow you anywhere.”
