I glanced up into the bar mirror, realizing I had a clear shot of a handsome guy sitting behind me. Wow…tall, wide shoulders, black hair and dark eyes, clean-shaven, his face missing the trendy line of stubble. He was studying my back, and as I watched, I caught a small smile curve his full lips as his eyes shifted, running down my exposed legs. He moved his index finger over his lips, back and forth, like a metronome keeping time. His eyes pulled away from my legs and traveled up the curve of my back again. My new dress has a large cutout, showing my spine and dipping to my waist. His glance seemed to enjoy the exposed view. He twisted in his seat, adjusting himself. I smiled…
“Something amusing you?” a deep baritone voice hissed in my ear, making me jump. I turned and there was my handsome stranger, too close. So near my face, I fell into his eyes, his irises a ring of brown around the mysterious black. His brows trimmed and dark, arched, waiting for my reply…
What the hell was the question? I was having trouble swallowing and breathing, let alone thinking of words.
