Exclusive Excerpt
Excitement
was already coursing through her body at what she was about to see. She
had seen many ballets, but each time it was as if she couldn’t breathe
when watching. She could judge their movements, the precision behind
their leaps and turns, and the extension of the men and women onstage,
but all of that would seem to blur. She would just get lost in the
dance. That was all that mattered.
The
lights dimmed, everyone rushed to get to their seats, and then the
curtain rose, transporting the audience into another world.
Trihn
sank back into her seat just as the first ballerina floated onto the
stage. As she reveled in the performance, Preston ran his hand up her
arm and to her shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. She glanced
over at him, and he had this dirty smirk on his face. He wasn’t even
watching the ballet. His eyes were solely trained on her.
She
swallowed and stared forward, but her attention was torn. His fingers
brushed her long tresses off her neck. The palm of his hand pushed flat
against her skin and went up into her hair. He gently pulled it, and as
her head dipped backward, her eyes closed of their own accord.
With
his other hand, he laced their fingers together, bringing her hand to
his lips. He tenderly kissed each knuckle before drawing her thumb
between his teeth. She inhaled deeply.
He
seemed to be enjoying himself as he kneaded the muscles in her neck. He
leaned forward toward her and planted a soft kiss on her shoulder.
“Keep your eyes open. You don’t want to miss a second of this,” he breathed softly.
Dear God! He was teasing her. This was sweet, blissful torture.
She
could hardly concentrate. Keeping up with two things at once, when one
was tempting her with everything she wanted, was harder than it seemed.
As the ballet drew to a close, she was glad that she had seen it before
or else she would have been entirely lost as to what had happened during
much of the performance.
His
touch was captivating, and she found she was a lost cause when it came
to this man. She hadn’t just forgotten the ballet in front of her face.
The world had disappeared all around her. In a sea of people, there was
just him.
The
curtain dropped unexpectedly, bright lights flooded the auditorium, and
Trihn jolted upright. Preston sat up straight, as if he hadn’t just
been working her into a frenzy with the lightest touches imaginable. The
smirk on his face was the only indication that anything was amiss.
As
the curtain rose and the dancers began to take their bows, Trihn stood
on shaky legs to give the ballet that she couldn’t remember a standing
ovation. Preston applauded at her side. They clapped until everyone left
the stage, and people started filing out.
She exited into the aisle, and Preston grabbed her hand again.
“Hey, we’re not done,” he said. The words were suggestive and were accented by his hand squeezing around her waist.
“Oh?” she managed to get out.
“Come on. I think you’ll like this surprise better.”
“Because I’d like to finish what I started.”
