He took a drink of the delicious wine, wondering if he was actually jealous of a guru.
“This is excellent,” he said. He picked up the bottle, but the print was too damn small, so he couldn’t read the year. Working twelve hours a day had ruined his eyesight.
“It was a gift,” she said.
“Does the name Taki mean anything?” he asked, replacing the bottle.
She gathered her long hair behind her, then draped it across one shoulder. “Navi calls me his little seeker because I’m always searching.”
Without thinking, Reese lifted a lock of her blond hair and rubbed his thumb across the silky strands.
“What are you searching for?” When their eyes met, Reese wondered at the emotion he read there. She moistened her full lips with the tip of her tongue.
“Happiness,” she said softly. “Forgiveness.”
“How could anyone not forgive you?” he murmured, cupping her cheek. He stroked his thumb across satin-smooth skin, thinking her the most enigmatic woman he’d ever met, full of enchanting contradictions. Her blue eyes widened, but she didn’t pull away.
When Reese lowered his mouth to hers, she closed her eyes. Her soft lips were warm and willing, and Reese explored her mouth hungrily, tasting fine wine and enjoying the tiny noises issuing from the back of her throat.
Kissing Taki was a lot easier than trying to figure her out.
EVEN IF REBORN a thousand times, Taki knew she would never forget the power of this kiss. Reese took possession of her mouth the way he dominated everything in his path, and his intimate, velvet warmth sent shivers of desire dancing through her.
She made a small sound of protest when he released the pressure on her lips. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and focused on the area just above his loosened collar. Inhaling his spicy aftershave, a scent she knew she’d forever associate with him, her gaze traveled to his mouth barely an inch away. She lifted her face, wanting to kiss him again, to go on kissing him until...
“Taki, I...” His breath feathered across her cheek as he trailed off, seeming unsure of himself for the first time.
She dropped her chin and pulled back. Reality checked in again, and with it came tons of baggage. For a brief time-out, though, while his mouth made love to hers, nothing had been important but him.
“Should I apologize for that?” he asked, searching her eyes. “Because I’m really not sorry.”
“Me, neither,” she whispered. And she wasn’t. Reese really knew how to kiss.
She averted her eyes, not wanting him to see what she was feeling. She couldn’t let anything romantic get started with Reese. The man set her emotions on fire, and such turmoil was all wrong for her. She required tranquility in her life. She’d had enough upheaval.
An awkward silence stretched out.
“It’s getting late.” He placed his wine on the rattan table but made no motion to rise. Neither of them knew what to do now, she thought, where to go after that amazing kiss. Or at least it had been amazing for her.
